1 Shell Australia Reconciliation Action Plan 2

2 Shell s Vision for Reconciliation Shell Australia aspires to positively contribute to Australia s reconciliation journey. Shell employees will acknowledge and respect the culture and contribution to Australia of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognise that true and lasting reconciliation improves prosperity for all Australians, including adding value to our business. Message from Shell Australia Country Chair - Ann Pickard Since coming to Australia, I ve enjoyed learning about the rich history and culture of the country s Indigenous heritage. Working for a company with the size and influence of Shell, it has also been important to me to understand what Shell was doing to make an impact on closing the life-expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. Shell is a significant investor and employer in Australia and has recognised that strong communities and a diverse workforce contribute to the prosperity of the country and the growth of our business here. However, after 110 years of operation in Australia, it s fair to say that Shell hadn t proactively focused on improving opportunities for Indigenous people, other than via social investment initiatives. This changed in 2011 with the launch of our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The plan was met with goodwill from staff across the country, and we joined over 300 Australian government, corporate and community organisations that have a RAP. RAP 1 was all about understanding and learning. Workshops were held to explain Indigenous culture and the challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. We asked the big questions - what were the best employment and training strategies, contracting and procurement strategies, and how would we engage with Indigenous communities to achieve real results? We wanted to bring our employees along and all learn together. I m proud that Shell could publicly promote our commitment to Australia s reconciliation journey. I am very pleased to now present the second RAP for Shell Australia. This RAP is about continuing to learn about Indigenous culture whilst also building on the achievements of RAP 1 and delivering hard outcomes across the business. We will build off our strong foundation of RAP Champions located in our operations around Australia to consolidate employee understanding and commitment to reconciliation. We will roll out programs which will achieve tangible results around Indigenous employment, engagement and social investment. I am confident that Shell can, over time, make an impact. We can do that through the outcomes we deliver ourselves, and through the influence we can have across our supply chain and in the wider business community. Our RAP makes a public statement, both internally and externally, that we are prepared to turn good intentions into actions and are willing to be held accountable for delivering on these actions. I commend everyone within Shell who has demonstrated leadership and commitment towards achieving our vision for reconciliation and I look forward to sharing our RAP 2 achievements.

3 Shell team visit the Kimberley An intrepid team from Shell enjoyed an amazing experience in the Great Sandy Desert, spending time with the Kimberley Land Council Ngurrara Rangers, one of Shell s social investment partners. Ann Pickard (Country Chair Shell Australia), Jim Marshall, Karyn Freeman, Peter Robinson, Rachel Maier, Jason Roberts, Mike Seymour and Kara Sloper were privileged to spend two days learning more about the Rangers way of life. The Shell team visited the Djugerari community, approximately 100km south of Fitzroy Crossing, where the Ngurrara Rangers are based. Here they learnt about the Shell-supported database which captures Indigenous knowledge, along with land management issues such as erosion control and native and introduced species flora and fauna counts. During the visit the team were fully immersed in community life, enjoying a range of authentic experiences such as woodwork and bush tucker. 2

The W4C raises funds and awareness of the gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians and was organised by Shell s social investment partner, the Indigenous Community Volunteers. Dennis and Sara spent five days trekking the Larapinta Trail and visiting the remote Titjikala community, 110km south of Alice Springs. They were keen to share their experiences and organised a lunch n learn in the Perth and North Fremantle offices on their return. Dennis also invited a friend he d met on his journey to be guest speaker, Tommy Crow. Tommy is an internationally renowned actor, artist, musician, dancer and story teller who enthralled the crowd with his inspirational story. 5

12 Our RAP in Action Ben and Emily s careers on track with CareerTrackers Ben Dries is a final year mechanical engineering student at ANU in Canberra who completed a 12 week internship at Shell over the summer. He was introduced to Shell by CareerTrackers, a national non-profit organisation that works with Indigenous university students and private sector companies to create career pathways through a structured internship program. Ben worked on several projects in Supply & Distribution in our Hawthorn and Newport offices, and thoroughly enjoyed his internship. He is pictured at the one week Leadership Forum that all CareerTrackers students attend each year in Sydney. Emily Estcourt was a final year student at Monash University with an interest in a HR career. Emily was the Downstream HR team s first CareerTrackers intern. Emily really enjoyed presenting her projects during her internship and said the staff made her feel like a part of the Shell family. She said Shell was the most positive working environment she d ever been lucky enough to be a part of. Following her internship, Shell was pleased to offer Emily a fulltime position working in the HR Policy & Services team. Emily is pictured (left) with her supervisor Kate Bury. 11

20 Acknowledge Traditional Owners and Welcome to Country protocol Acknowledging Traditional Owners at our meetings and inviting Aboriginal Elders to give a Welcome to Country ceremony at external events are ways we can show our respect for Australia s First Peoples. It is a gesture of recognition, promotes an awareness of the past and acknowledges the ongoing connection to country of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Such recognition also facilitates engagement opportunities, developing and further nurturing relationships. Welcome to Country A Welcome to Country is a ceremony performed by an Elder, senior representative of the traditional custodians or local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people, to welcome visitors to their traditional land. It can take many forms depending on the particular culture of the Traditional Owners. It can include singing, dancing, smoking ceremonies or a speech in traditional language or English. A Welcome to Country should be performed at the beginning of an official function (such as a conference), usually as the first item of the opening proceedings. Inviting the Traditional Owners to perform a Welcome at an event is a sign of respect to the traditional custodians. How to organise a Welcome to Country Contact should be made with your local Aboriginal Land Council, local government or state department for Indigenous Affairs to help identify the traditional owner groups and if they have previously provided Welcome to Country ceremonies. Holding these discussions can take time. So don t leave the organising of this to the last minute! It is best to arrange a meeting with the Elder in advance of the event. Traditional custodians or Elders, like any consultant, will charge a fee to cover their costs including time, travel and any materials. Acknowledgement of Country An Acknowledgement of Country is a way of showing awareness of, and respect for, the traditional Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander owners of the land on which a meeting or event is being held, and of recognising the continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people to their country. It involves visitors acknowledging the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander owners of the land, as well as the long and continuing relationship between Indigenous peoples and their country. It can be performed by a non-indigenous person. When should we acknowledge traditional owners and custodians? At the start of a larger meeting or forum, it is respectful for the MC or first speaker to recognise the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which the meeting is occurring. For example: when bringing people from outside the organisation together (external guests); when people have travelled to meet together from other areas (external and/or internal guests); when discussing issues relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island People; or when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People are attending. Subsequent speakers may also wish to recognise Traditional Owners and custodians. Some examples of where it would be appropriate to acknowledge the Traditional Owners are: retail forums, sales and marketing 19

21 conferences, parties, community liaison group meetings and Shell-hosted external stakeholder engagement events. Cultural protocols should also be followed by the organisers of Shell-sponsored events. How should traditional owners and custodians be acknowledged? A general acknowledgement can be used if you are unsure of the name of the group or if there are two or more groups to acknowledge. There is also the option to specifically acknowledge the local group/s that are known. General acknowledgement I d like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which we are meeting today. I would also like to pay my respects to the Elders past and present. Acknowledgement specific to location and community I d like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we meet today, the. (Nation) OR the. (People) of the. (Nation) and pay my respects to their Elders both past and present. Location Examples CLYDE We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, of Elders past and present of the people of the Darug Nation on the place which we are meeting today. GEELONG We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Wadda Wurrung of the Kulin Nation on which we stand. We pay our respects to the Elders both past and present. We thank the Traditional Owners for their custodianship of the land, and celebrate the continuing culture of the Wadda Wurrung, and also acknowledge the memory of their ancestors, both past and present, and also wish to welcome all Aboriginal persons present today. OR We wish to acknowledge the Wadda Wurrung Traditional Owners on whose country we are gathered on today / tonight and we wish to pay our respects to the Elders both past and present. HAWTHORN I would like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which we meet today, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their Elders, both past and present. PERTH I respectfully acknowledge the past, present and future Traditional Owners of this land on which we are meeting, the Nyoongar people. It is a privilege to be standing on Nyoongar country. PINKENBA I would like to acknowledge that this land that we meet on today is the Traditional Lands for the Turrbal Peoples, and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the descendants of today. I also acknowledge the Jagera, Quandamooka and Jinibara Peoples as the custodians of the greater Brisbane region. I also acknowledge the Elders, those here today and those that have passed. NEWPORT I would like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which we meet today, the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their Elders both past and present. 20

22 Frequently Asked Questions What is Reconciliation? Reconciliation Australia defines reconciliation as building mutually respectful relationships between Indigenous and other Australians, that allow us to work together to solve problems and generate success that is in everyone s best interests. Achieving reconciliation involves raising awareness and knowledge of Indigenous history and culture, changing attitudes that are often based on myths and misunderstandings, and encouraging action where everyone plays their part in building a better relationship between us as fellow Australians. Across its 110 plus years of business in Australia, Shell has not focused proactively upon developing opportunities for Indigenous Peoples, other than, over recent times, through its social investment activities. Increasingly, we are a significant investor and employer in Australia. Reconciliation is important to the people and government of the country in which we live and contribute. The opportunities which arise for Shell, and for Indigenous people through Shell s actions, need to be tackled together for our mutual benefit. What is a RAP? The Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) program was launched in July 2006, the 40th anniversary of the 1967 referendum where more than 90% of voters said YES to equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fellow citizens. The RAP program is a framework designed to turn good intentions into action by encouraging and supporting organisations, large and small, to engage within their sphere of influence in a national effort to close the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and other Australians. The framework covers the activities that we know can make a difference: building good relationships; respecting the special contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Australia; and ensuring Indigenous children have the same life opportunities as other children in this prosperous country. New Zealand, the United States and Canada have greatly improved their Indigenous life expectancy statistics. Hopefully in Australia, we can do the same. Having a RAP is a long term process and commitment. Closing the gap on life expectancy will take years to achieve, but it is achievable. That the life of an Indigenous child is likely to end significantly earlier than a non-indigenous child s is not acceptable in an affluent country like ours. What are the benefits of a RAP? There are numerous benefits to be gained by developing a RAP: It s a tool to help our organisation build positive relationships between Indigenous and non-indigenous people. It gives a clear format to explore how reconciliation can advance our business. It will be Shell s public contribution towards the national effort to close the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous children. It will reinforce Shell s commitment to Australia and its Indigenous people. Shell conducts business in or near Indigenous communities. Having a RAP is an important way to show our support to closing the gap. It will help our employees, especially those from overseas, understand more about Australia s culture and history. Developing a meaningful RAP takes time, but the final product is a simple, easy to read plan. 21

23 How will a RAP change the way I work? Consider how your part of the business can provide opportunities to help close the gap for Indigenous peoples. This could be by contracting to organisations that support Indigenous workers or programs, by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land at Shell external events to help raise awareness and demonstrate Shell s commitment, by attending cultural awareness training and/or by just keeping an open mind. Does this mean extra work for me? Mostly not, as this is about the way we do our work rather than doing more things. Some areas of our business will need to work on specific actions (for example, developing an Indigenous employment and retention strategy and a business engagement strategy). All employees will have the opportunity to take part in Cultural Awareness Training and to follow the cultural protocol. Can I choose not to be involved? Throughout the year there will be opportunities for employees to take part in RAP activities relevant to their team and work location. It is an employee s choice to determine how they would like to be involved. However, there will be some activities that are linked to business outcomes. If you feel strongly about not participating, you can speak with your line manager or your local RAP Champion. What is a RAP Champion? We aim to have a RAP Champion in all Shell Australia locations. The Champion will be a liaison between the RAP Steering Committee and their work site. Their key role is to promote and encourage participation in our RAP and its associated activities. They will also help to answer colleagues questions about RAP or direct them to someone who can. SAL-reconciliation@shell.com if you d like to be involved. Where do I go for more information? Visit Shell in Australia s intranet homepage and click on reconciliation or contact your local RAP Champion. Select the training link to take the online training. e. SAL-reconciliation@shell.com w. Who can have a RAP? Community Organisations Corporate Organisations Peak Organisations Schools Universities and Training Organisations Federal Government State Government Local Government Who else has a RAP? See for a list of organisations. Who is Reconciliation Australia? Reconciliation Australia is an independent, not-forprofit organisation that was established in 2000 by the former Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation. It is the peak national organisation building and promoting reconciliation between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians for the wellbeing of the nation. It has developed the Reconciliation Action Plan process and actively supports RAP ers across Australia. 22
