ISS indigenous engagement

ISS was first recognised as a Corporate Leader by the Australian Federal Government in 2008 and since this time have achieved a number of positive outcomes in the areas of Indigenous employment, business and community engagement. Over the past 10 years, ISS has provided over 850 new employment opportunities and has spent in excess of $7m with Indigenous businesses.                                                                                                                                                                                   In support of our commitment to First Nations People, ISS currently delivers a wide range of national community and employment initiatives to improve both Indigenous participation and social benefits for the communities in which we operate.                                                                                                                                                                                   We have had a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) since 2015, outlining key engagement and reconciliation metrics to help ‘close the gap’ for Indigenous Australians. The actions are based on enhancing direct employment, training and collaboration with Indigenous communities. Whilst our results have been successful, there remains opportunity for us to improve our performance to ensure our activities remain transparent and beneficial to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people. Our re-energised efforts are outlined in our RAP 2019-2022.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          We are extremely proud to be playing a significant role in realising national prosperity for First Australian Peoples – ISS also fully supports Reconciliation Australia with their organisation objectives.
