- Ensuring First Nations voices are heard in all discussions
- Enhancing our workforce's understanding of First Nations cultures and histories
- Increasing the recruitment and retention of First Nations Peoples within our organisation
- Boosting procurement from First Nations suppliers to drive positive economic and social outcomes.
