September 2025 – August 2028 (Stretch) RAP
Our Indigenous Affairs Vision
We are dedicated to fostering inclusive, culturally informed change that celebrates the strength of our identity as individuals and as an organisation. Our four strategic pillars guide us in delivering transparent, measurable outcomes and ensuring accountability through strong governance:
Retention and Growth: Creating a culturally informed career roadmap to ensure Indigenous team members are valued, supported, and empowered to thrive, grow, and lead.
Shared Impact: Fostering diversity in supply chains and inclusive workplaces to deliver sustainable, partnership-driven outcomes locally and globally.
Enablement: Driving collective action through accessible resources, reciprocal relationships, and transparent accountability across all business levels.
Transform: Evolving business practices and governance to support nation-building partnerships and community-led, rights-based solutions with a focus on food security.
Our RAP Enablers
Aligned with our strategic pillars, we prioritise four key enablers to foster culturally safe pathways, strengthen meaningful partnerships, and drive enduring reconciliation outcomes:
Thriving Together: Creating culturally safe pathways that empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to grow, lead, and succeed.
Responding Together: Building cultural understanding and shared responsibility through respectful, meaningful action.
Growing Diverse Supply Chains: Partnering with Indigenous businesses to enhance supplier diversity and drive economic empowerment.
Strengthening Food Security: Supporting community-led solutions to food insecurity in remote and regional areas, recognising the connection between nourishment, wellbeing, and Country.
Reconciliation is not a linear path. It requires listening, reflection, humility to learn from missteps and the ambition to continuously improve. At Sodexo, we’ve taken time to reflect on what’s worked, and how we can do better. This RAP has been shaped through those learnings, with in-depth consultation across our business to ensure our commitments are targeted, realistic and meaningful.
Since its first RAP in 2011, Sodexo has partnered with and resourced First Nations communities to support food security, self-determination and employment opportunities in regional and remote communities. Sodexo has seen success in these initiatives in large part because it has embedded reconciliation into every aspect of its work. When RAP commitments are woven into the identity of an organisation, reconciliation becomes business as usual, rather than a stand-alone consideration.
