Acknowledgement of Country
Schiavello recognises the rich Indigenous heritage of this country and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respects to their Elders both past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Schiavello acknowledges the past, recognises the present and looks forward to contributing to a brighter future.
Creating equal opportunities for Indigenous Australians
The Schiavello Group is committed to having our related workforce represented by Indigenous employees. Our Indigenous Participation Program is structured according to the three broad pillars of reconciliation.
- Relationships – Encourage and foster meaningful, long term relationships with the Indigenous community.
- Respect – Respect the customs and practices of Indigenous people and their communities.
- Opportunities – Grow sustainable employment and participation opportunities for local Indigenous people.
Peter Schiavello
Managing Director, Schiavello Group
I am pleased to support our Indigenous Participation Program, which formally extends our existing Social Responsibility actions to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
We're taking a proactive approach towards improving youth education and employment opportunities, whilst continuing to foster a culture of acceptance, and a workplace inclusive of all Australians.
