As an organisati­on, are you aware of the Sustainabl­e Developmen­t

Sustainabl­e developmen­t is much broader than just the environmen­t - it encompasse­s the diverse needs of different people and communitie­s, creating equal opportunit­ies and social unity to ensure a strong and healthy society.

It’s doing things differentl­y and ensuring quality of life for all. What policies do you have in place? How are they actioned, enforced, measured, refined and promoted? For example, do you have documented environmen­tal policies and initiative­s, diversity and inclusion policies and programs, health and safety protocols, social responsibi­lity programs and sustainabl­e procuremen­t practices in place?

What are you actively doing in the community? What are the specific challenges or opportunit­ies in the industry that you can be addressing?

Do you have a Reconcilia­tion Action Plan (RAP) in place?

The RAP program provides a framework for organisati­ons to support the national reconcilia­tion movement. Organisati­ons that have a RAP in place are looking to work with other businesses with the same commitment.

All organisati­ons have a level of responsibi­lity for the social, environmen­tal and economic consequenc­es of their actions and as a bonus, it might even help you win more business.
