Journey towards reconciliation
Our commitment
to building a strong shared future
For more than 40 years, we have actively participated in the evolution of the relationship between Indigenous communities and industry. In that time, 我们从建立的关系和对话中学到了很多东西. We are so grateful to the Indigenous communities and their leaders who have been generous with their time, 对他们的观点持开放态度,当这些观点不同时尊重他们.
We recognize that we must do our part in advancing reconciliation between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous people to support the growth of resilient Indigenous communities and the development a strong shared future. It is a journey requiring a thoughtful approach, long-term commitment and openness to listen and learn.
In our 2021 Reconciliation Action Plan, we outlined our commitment and need to build better relationships and strengthen partnerships with Indigenous Peoples. 行动计划包括六个可衡量的目标,以帮助推进和解, 无论是在内部还是在我们运营的社区.
A year after publishing our Reconciliation Action Plan, 我们继续倾听和学习,并在我们的目标上取得了进展. The Reconciliation Action Plan Update provides transparency on progress and reflection on what we have learned since the release of the inaugural report.

我们感谢这片土地最初的主人——过去几代人, 现在和未来,为了与我们分享这些家园.
