Progressing from our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) to this Innovate RAP is an important next step in our reconciliation journey – and one I’m genuinely proud of. Our first RAP asked us to slow down, listen more deeply, and learn from First Nations peoples. It helped us build stronger relationships grounded in respect and trust and challenged us to think carefully about the role we play as an energy company working across many communities and Countries. Most importantly, it helped us better understand how we can contribute in ways that create lasting, positive impact.

We’ve taken some meaningful steps forward. We’ve strengthened partnerships with Traditional Owners through more formal, principles-based agreements that guide how we work together now, and into the future. We’ve supported processes that help identify, respect and protect cultural heritage, and we continue to listen to First Nations knowledge holders as we plan and develop our projects. As we contribute to the clean energy transition, we’re committed to doing so in ways that respect Country, are guided by First Nations knowledge, and creates shared, long term value for the communities where we operate.

Just as importantly, we’ve continued to invest in learning across our business. We’ve focused on building understanding in ways that feel practical, thoughtful and connected to the work we do. This has included Acknowledgement of Country workshops, on-Country experiences, local events, and simple opportunities for our people to come together, listen, reflect and deepen understanding.

This Innovate RAP represents a clear shift from reflection to action. It strengthens sponsorship, accountability and shared ownership across the business, and sets clearer expectations for how we build relationships, listen to First Nations voices, and create opportunities aligned with our purpose to make energy better. This intent is echoed in this year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, All In, which calls on each of us to step away from the sidelines and take actions that create real and lasting change. For us, being all in means embedding reconciliation into how we work, how we lead, and how we partner with the communities connected to our assets and projects.

At its heart, reconciliation is about relationships. It’s about how we show up every day, how we listen, how we learn, and how we act. It asks us to be open to different perspectives, to challenge assumptions, and to grow together.

I’m proud of the progress our people have made so far, and grateful to the First Nations organisations and individuals who continue to guide and work alongside us. Each of us has a role to play, and every step forward matters.

Staying genuine in our intent, means being present, open and willing to sit with different perspectives. And disciplined in our actions to help ensure we follow through on our commitments. As our journey continues, I look forward to the learning ahead, the relationships we’ll continue to build and the positive contribution that we can make together.
