The RAP, which has been 12 months in preparation, was endorsed by Justin Mohamed, CEO of Reconciliation Australia. Mohamed said: “OMG’s RAP involves multiple initiatives to develop cultural learning, cultural protocols and promoting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment. On behalf of Reconciliation Australia, I commend Omnicom Media Group on its inaugural RAP and look forward to following its reconciliation journey.”
Peter Horgan, CEO, Omnicom Media Group Australia & New Zealand, said at the event, “As part of OMG’s diversity strategy, we are keen to build a strong and productive relationship with Australia’s First People. We have set ourselves employment targets and promote career opportunities to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We want to make a contribution to, and learn from, Australia’s First People and acknowledge their place in our history and culture and their future part in making Australia a proud and successful nation.”
Events were held at each of the offices of OMD, PHD, Resolution, OMGP and Annalect. nationally, featuring a Welcome to Country, smoking ceremony and didgeridoo performance by local indigenous performers.
