Suncorp is proud to share our Innovate Reconciliation Plan 2024-26, which builds on and strengthens actions completed over our reconciliation journey as we continue to embed reconciliation throughout the organisation.
#Our vision
Our vision for reconciliation is centred on our purpose, to build futures and protect what matters.
This means an Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are empowered to thrive financially, and in all aspects of their lives.
To bring this vision to life we will:
- Foster equitable opportunities and fair treatment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees and customers, including creating an inclusive and respectful environment.
- Partner with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses to increase the financial, social, climate and natural hazard resilience of communities.
- Review and improve the accessibility and suitability of our financial products and services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Through our vision and the actions in this plan, we commit to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by listening to their knowledge and respecting connections to the lands, waters and skies across this country, to ensure we collectively protect and contribute to the resilience of our landscape.
Suncorp recognises and understands the mutual benefit gained from fostering a culture that values and promotes reconciliation, and the contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities make to our organisation and country.
#The story behind our artwork
Ripples of Healing, by Belle Artates
Ripples of Healing speaks to the relationships formed between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, as well as our connection to the land, waters and traditions. Through the ripples created by this healing we can continue to create long lasting reconciliation.
When we connect, we grow. The yarning circles represent us coming together to share and grow in this journey. This can only be achieved by respect for our people, culture, histories, knowledge and rights. This is an opportunity to create long lasting improvements through employment outcomes, increasing supplier diversity, strengthening our community partnerships and improving access to products and services.
Suncorp Group is honoured to have engaged Belle Artates to tell our story. As a current employee and a proud Dharug Woman from the Boorooberongal Clan, Belle brings a unique and in-depth perspective to the RAP artwork through her connection to the organisation.
#Acknowledgement and thanks
We would like to acknowledge and thank the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, both internally and externally who helped create and shape this Innovate RAP. Your expertise and generosity in sharing your cultural knowledge and time cannot be understated.
