Launching Our Second Reconciliation Action Plan
The Next Step In Our Reconciliation Journey – Our Second Reconciliation Action Plan
We are proud to announce that Reconciliation Australia has endorsed pitt&sherry’s second Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
Our journey towards reconciliation commenced in 2020 when we issued our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). In 2023, after two years of implementation of our first RAP, we partnered with First Nations advisors the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Research and Education. This second RAP has been developed with the guidance and recommendations from our First Nations advisors, and the lessons from our first RAP. We consider ourselves in the Reflect phase of our reconciliation journey.
Dean Comrie, CEO of pitt&sherry, commented, “Endorsement of our Reflect RAP by Reconciliation Australia is an important milestone in our journey towards reconciliation. As a professional services firm, we are committed to fostering innovation, excellence, and social change, and working toward a future where the histories, cultures, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are celebrated as an integral part of our collective identity and success.”
Our ‘Making a difference: the pitt&sherry way’ framework 2023–2028 guides our goals for achieving positive environmental and social outcomes, including our commitment to reconciliation. Based on the core pillars of relationships, respect and opportunities, RAPs provide tangible and substantive benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, increasing economic equity and supporting First Nations self-determination.
About the Artwork
Our Reflect RAP features commissioned artwork “Making Home” by Bianca Templar.
“This painting is a representation of the decision (of pitt&sherry) to open their first office in Tasmania. Although the meaning of the Petroglyphs has been lost, I have utilised them to create my own representation of the impact and growth of pitt&sherry.”
Bianca Templar is a proud Truwulway / Bunurong woman who resides on the unceded banks of the Kanamaluka (Tamar River, Launceston).
