Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders at Allianz Australia
We have chosen to create a deliberately inclusive workplace which is representative of the customers we serve and the lands on which we operate.
Reconciliation at Allianz
At Allianz our vision for reconciliation is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to be respected, included in all facets of society and through the removal of systemic barriers, be empowered to build prosperity and security for themselves, their families and communities.
Embarking on our reconciliation journey with the launch of our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan in 2021, we have chosen to create a deliberately inclusive workplace which is representative of the customers we serve and the lands on which we operate.
Welcome to Country & Acknowledgment of Country
It is important for us to recognise the Acknowledgement of and Welcome to Country as being one way that we can pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have lived and looked after this land for 75,000 years and who are part of the oldest continuous culture on the planet.
Incorporating welcoming and acknowledgement protocols into official meetings and events at Allianz Australia helps to promote and facilitate respect and an ongoing connection to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of land.
“Like many Australian businesses, we are challenging ourselves to take meaningful steps towards reconciliation. It is incumbent on all of us to create a place where everyone feels that they belong and are supported at each point in their lives. As Australians, it is our responsibility to ensure that everyone has a fair opportunity to build prosperity and feel secure – now and tomorrow.”
Tara Laybutt, Chief Risk Officer and Executive Sponsor of Reconciliation
