ANZ was the first major Australian company to register a Reconciliation Action Plan. The Reconciliation Action Plan program was developed by Reconciliation Australia, an independent, not-for-profit organisation, to coordinate efforts by Australian governments, businesses, non-government and community organisations to increase the life chances of Indigenous Australians.
Helping to improve the social and economic wellbeing of Indigenous Australians is a key part of ANZ's commitment to supporting education and employment for the disadvantaged and building financial capability. And because the measures contained in the Action Plan are closely related to our business, we also expect the success of these new and existing initiatives to translate over time into direct business benefits.
For example, employing more Indigenous people and building our understanding of the experience of Indigenous consumers will help us better meet the needs of those customers and build their trust and confidence.
In 2007, ANZ was one of the first large companies to launch a Reconciliation Action Plan. See how we performed against our original 2007 RAP (PDF 788kB). ANZ launched a new RAP in 2009, refreshing their commitments in the areas of employment, cultural awareness, financial literacy and capacity building.A report into our progress against the 2009 RAP will be released in early 2010, along with an updated RAP.
The public accountability that comes with releasing the Action Plan ensures our initiatives maintain momentum.
The Action Plan is monitored by a Governance Group to ensure it is implemented, remains relevant and is achieving its objectives. ANZ reports on progress against the Action Plan.
