MESSAGE FROM CEO

Clough was established in 1919 and from those early years, our principles committed our company to make a positive impact and enrich the lives of those in the communities in which we work and live. As part of our ongoing development in this space, I’m pleased to introduce our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

Clough has been working to create opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for many years, but we recognise we can and need to do more. This RAP provides an opportunity for us to acknowledge our ongoing commitment to building long term, sustainable relations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through the following commitments, we aim to:

• Maximise and grow our supplier diversity by engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned/ employed businesses in our supply chain;

• Increase opportunities to employ, develop and retain Indigenous team members and deepen our engagement with the communities in which we work and live

• Increase cultural awareness and competency within our business and

• Increase our meaningful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, through education and mentoring programs in partnership with like-minded organisations

On behalf of Clough, I would like to thank Reconciliation Australia for their support and guidance on this important journey, I would also like to recognise the many staff at Clough that have demonstrated their dedication and enthusiasm in developing our first RAP and delivering on the initiatives and actions contained in the plan. I encourage our people to continue to engage with the same excitement as we deliver our Reconciliation Action Plan.

Peter Bennett, CEO & MD Clough

MESSAGE FROM

RECONCILIATION AUSTRALIA

Reconciliation Australia is delighted to welcome Clough to the Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) program by formally endorsing its inaugural Innovate RAP.

As a member of the RAP community, Clough joins over 1,000 dedicated corporate, government, and not-for-profit organisations that have formally committed to reconciliation through the RAP program since its inception in 2006. RAP organisations across Australia are turning good intentions into positive actions, helping to build higher trust, lower prejudice, and increase pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.

Reconciliation is no one single issue or agenda. Based on international research and benchmarking, Reconciliation Australia defines and measures reconciliation through five critical dimensions: race relations; equality and equity, institutional integrity; unity; and historical acceptance. All sections of the community—governments, civil society, the private sector, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities—have a role to play to progress these dimensions.

The RAP program provides a framework for organisations to advance reconciliation within their spheres of influence. This Innovate RAP provides Clough with the key steps to establish its own unique approach to reconciliation. Through implementing an Innovate RAP, Clough will develop its approach to driving reconciliation through its business activities, services and programs, and develop mutually beneficial relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders.

We wish Clough well as it explores and establishes its own unique approach to reconciliation. We encourage Clough to embrace this journey with open hearts and minds, to grow from the challenges, and to build on its successes. As the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation reminded the nation in its final report:

“Reconciliation is hard work — it’s a long, winding and corrugated road, not a broad, paved highway. Determination and effort at all levels of government and in all sections of the community will be essential to make reconciliation a reality.”

On behalf of Reconciliation Australia, I commend Clough on its first RAP, and look forward to following its ongoing reconciliation journey.

Karen Mundine, Chief Executive Officer Reconciliation Australia

OUR VISION FOR RECONCILIATION

“Our vision is to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples by providing employment,

education and business opportunities and to create a workplace that understands and values Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.”

OUR RECONCILIATION JOURNEY

Clough has a recorded history dating back to 1996 of engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to provide employment and business opportunities across our projects.

Our first Policy on Indigenous Relations was underpinned by a Memorandum of Understanding signed by Clough in 2002 with the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, pledging to work cooperatively to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people employed by Clough on its projects.

We developed an Indigenous Affairs Business Plan in 2011, which has been regularly updated and provided the business with a structured framework to increase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation, engagement, employment and business opportunities.

In 2014, Clough Foundation was formed, and Clough partnered with Clontarf Foundation as a founding partner. Now in our fifth year of partnership, we continue to support Clontarf to improve the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and by doing so equips them to participate meaningfully in society.

In 2016, the Clough Foundation partnered with Girls Academy. Girls Academy work within the school system to drive community-led solutions aimed at overcoming the obstacles that prevent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls from attending and achieving at school.

In 2017, the Clough Foundation supported the Starlight Ear Bus program. The Earbus mobile ear health clinics offer continuous care to Aboriginal children and young people in regional and remote schools, day-cares, kindergartens and playgroups. The Earbus model provides comprehensive ear screening, surveillance and treatment, with the Earbus employing GPs, Audiologists and ENTs so referral is quick, and treatment is seamless.

In 2017 Clough partnered with Supply Nation. We have since participated in Supply Nation Connect Trade shows to partner with Indigenous suppliers and subcontractors to increase our supplier diversity.

In 2018, our Perth corporate office relocated and to celebrate the occasion we held an official Welcome to Country performed by a Wadjuk Elder. We also had an Acknowledgement to Country plaque installed at our office reception to acknowledge the Wadjuk – Noongar People, the Traditional Custodians of the land in which our office is located.

In 2018, we rolled out Cultural Awareness training to all our employees in our Perth and Brisbane corporate office.

Throughout 2019, we have continued to provide employment and business opportunities across our business. We have created three Aboriginal traineeship positions and have supported and hosted a range of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander engagement initiatives.

Case Study: ClontarfClough’s partnership with the Clontarf Foundation began in 2014 and since then they have been working together to improve the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men. One of these young men is Cedric Cuttabutt and this is his story:

“I’m Cedric Cuttabutt, I’m 18, I was born and raised in Perth and I’m a Noongar man. I attended Huntingdale Primary School from kindy to year 7 and then Yule Brook College for high school, where they have a Clontarf academy. Clontarf has been a major part of my life since year 8, till graduation at Sevenoaks Senior College. Throughout the years, Clontarf helped me in many ways with getting identification, helping me get work experience and making sure I don’t fall off track with my schooling.

The reason I currently have my job at Clough is because of the Clontarf academy. We were on an end of year camp, rewarding the year 12 students for graduating when Alex (the employment officer for Clontarf) said there might be an opening at Clough, so I decided to put my name down.

I was successful and currently have the position as a Trainee Administration Assistant in the commercial side of the business and my responsibilities include using Excel to manage contracts, sending emails to clients and creating folders in shared drives. I have never been in a work place like this, everyone is so nice, and I really like working here. I have met great people and have made friends along the way. In addition, I am doing a Certificate III in Business Administration.

Clough has given me the opportunity to work with amazing people, obtain work experience as a trainee and develop great relationships with everyone at work. My future career goal is undecided, but I would like to get some experience working in a site-based role.”

Case Study: Girls AcademyIn 2016, Clough Foundation and Girls Academy began their partnership and since then, Clough and Girls Academy have been working to develop and empower Aboriginal girls through leadership training, mentoring, sport and extra-curricular programs with a goal to create an environment within schools where girls receive the support and programs needed to help them realise their full potential. Brooke Wilson was part of the Girrawheen Girls Academy and this is her story:

“The Girls Academy was opened in 2017 at Girrawheen High School when I was in year 11. During the last two years of high school, the Academy provided me with in school support giving me the tools I needed to get a better education, achieve my goals and facilitate post school transition. The Girls Academy held a year 12 summit in Canberra, which I had the privilege of taking part in and provided me with opportunities and experience that I would never have had otherwise.

When coming to my last few weeks of year 12, I reached out to the Girls Academy and asked them if they were able to help me get work experience in an Administration position, so when I left school I’d have an idea of what to expect and an opportunity to get a bit of experience. They then found me a work experience placement at a company named Clough. I started work experience at Clough one day a week for six weeks. On my last day of work experience, I was asked to do a presentation on how my experience was and my interest after school. I now have a full-time job as Administration Assistant and I support the Corporate Administration area, the Oracle team and Marketing and Communications, and I’m working towards a Certificate III in Business Administration.

I am forever thankful for the Girls Academy for giving me the opportunity and experiences and to Clough for believing in me and pushing me. It’s not only a job but it’s also a privilege to be part of an amazing company. I am still unsure as to what I want to do in the future, but I would like to keep my options open.”

“Reconciliation is an ongoing process where we acknowledge

the injustices of the past and take deliberate steps to instil

equity and respect for all Indigenous Australians whilst

recognising the value and significance of their culture

and traditions.”

Cynthia Calderon – Group Manager Corporate Affairs and Stakeholder

Engagement

“For me Reconciliation is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous

people having the opportunity to thrive together and build a stronger and brighter future

for all Australians.”

Richard Simons – Chief Financial Officer

“For me Reconciliation is a few different things. It is a journey to understand and embrace each other’s differences and appreciate how those differences shape who we are and the views

that we each hold. It is an opportunity to promote and deliver

change. If we don’t make changes, then how is the outcome going to be any different

in the future. It is a framework which allows us to create opportunities for individuals to participate

on an even playing field with the rest of our community.”

Michael Borlase - Group Manager Employee and Industrial Relations

“For me reconciliation means a recognition that Australia is a society comprised of a

diverse range of cultures that have migrated to this country after the Aboriginal people

had occupied the land for thousands of years. As such recognition and acceptance

of Aboriginal people as the first of those cultures and enabling Aboriginal people to fully participate in, contribute to and benefit from

the Australian economy while maintaining their cultural beliefs and practices is the basis

for remedying many of the issues which surround the disparities

which exist.”

Jody Kershaw – Indigenous and Organisational

Development Advisor

“To me, Reconciliation is about acknowledging the past,

celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander unique cultures and working together to build a future

where all people have equal life opportunities.”

Brooke Wilson – Administration Assistant

“Reconciliation means coming together to build

positive relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.”

Navroz Irani – Process Engineer

“True reconciliation to me is about doing what is right by others. It is

about listening, understanding and acting such as you would for your family or friends. It is about caring

and wanting the best future for one another. It is about coming out

the tunnel as one.”

Cedric Cuttabutt – Administration Assistant BHP South Flank Project

“Reconciliation means recognising the past and

present of indigenous people & acknowledging one another,

helping each other and aspiring to achieving our goals now and

for future generations to come.”

What Reconciliation Means to Our Staff….

Calum O’Neil - Graduate Process Engineer

“Reconciliation means the commitment and actions we take to further develop the

relationships with indigenous Australians for the benefit of

our shared society.”

John Galvin - Executive Vice President, Australia & Asia Pacific

“For me reconciliation is about respectfully building a strong future together where

all Australians are proud of and celebrate the rich and unique heritage of our first

Australians.”

Our Reconciliation Action PlanOur Innovate RAP 2020-2022 is our first RAP and was developed in collaboration with a number of internal and external stakeholders. Whilst we have been working to close the gap with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples for over two decades, we recognise we can do more. This RAP provides an opportunity for us to show our ongoing commitment to building long term, sustainable relations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through the provision of training, employment and business opportunities.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan Working GroupOur RAP Working Group is comprised of a range of Clough personnel from all levels of the business including some of our most senior management and located across the country, all extremely committed to the reconciliation movement. We have three people of Aboriginal decent on our working group and have also engaged Danny Ford a Noongar consultant to ensure we include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation on our RAP Working Group and in all the decision-making processes for the RAP.
