Sedgman is proud to be making a significant step in our reconciliation journey with the launch of our second Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The RAP is a strategic document that is endorsed by Reconciliation Australia and includes practical actions to drive our contribution towards reconciliation.
Sedgman’s formal reconciliation journey began in 2020 with the launch of our Reflect RAP. Committing to the formalised RAP framework was a logical action for Sedgman as it provided governance and structure around existing reconciliation goals within our Sustainability Strategy and Diversity and Inclusion Strategy.
Our RAP commits us to meaningfully and practically contributing to the important work of reconciliation and relationship building with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The development of our Innovate RAP has been informed by the successes and challenges faced throughout our first Reflect RAP. We have incorporated our RAP actions into our day-to-day operations which has resulted in sustainable programs and meaningful outcomes.
Sedgman is committed to the continuation of our RAP and providing meaningful and practical contributions to the important work of reconciliation and relationship building with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Our RAP Working Group has collaborated to share ideas and develop sustainable initiatives designed for real value. We proud of this work and thank the members of the working group for their contribution. This RAP brings to life our objectives of increasing employment opportunities, providing more training and development, and increasing business and industry engagement in our supply chain with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
As a member of the CIMIC Group, we uphold our Group’s beliefs that:
- Diverse and inclusive teams promote innovation, performance and productivity
- These advantages are strongest when our workforces reflect the diverse communities in which we work.
A core priority at Sedgman is providing a work environment where all employees can reach their full potential and achieve their personal and professional goals. We acknowledge that the success of our business is driven by our people and that having a truly diverse and inclusive culture amplifies what we can achieve.

Placing actions behind the words of our reconciliation commitment is a significant part of that. Together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on our projects, in our offices and in the wider community, we look forward to a positive future.
