a message from Reconciliation Australia
Reconciliation Australia commends Bureau Veritas Australia Pty Ltd on the formal endorsement of its inaugural Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.
Commencing an Innovate RAP is a crucial and rewarding period in an organisation’s reconciliation journey. It is a time to build strong foundations and relationships, ensuring sustainable, thoughtful, and impactful RAP outcomes into the future.
Since 2006, RAPs have provided a framework for organisations to leverage their structures and diverse spheres of influence to support the national reconciliation movement. This Innovate RAP is both an opportunity and an invitation for Bureau Veritas Australia Pty Ltd to expand its understanding of its core strengths and deepen its relationship with its community, staff, and stakeholders.

We have chosen Reconciliation Week 2023 to officially launch our inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan. Reconciliation is a critical step for our nation and for our company, and we set out on this journey with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a genuine desire to learn and grow. I know I speak on behalf of all our staff when I say that the creation of this RAP is an exciting and significant step. It is a step we do not take lightly, given how fundamental it is to our purpose and our genuine commitment to shaping a world of trust by ensuring responsible progress and having a positive impact on society and communities in which we operate.
