ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands, seas and waters on which we live and work across Australia.
For generations, First Nations peoples have cared for and sustained Country. Their deep knowledge of land and waters, ecosystems and cultural practices reflect wisdom developed over thousands of years and remains central to ongoing custodianship.
We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present and recognise the role of future generations in continuing care for Country.
MESSAGE FROM OUR MANAGING DIRECTOR
On behalf of Bunzl, I am proud to present our second Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), building on the foundations, learnings and relationships established through our first RAP.
At Bunzl, we believe collaboration is essential to achieving meaningful and lasting change. By fostering an inclusive culture, we are committed to listening and ensuring lived experience informs our thinking, decision-making and governance. Building on feedback from our first RAP, we have expanded our actions to strengthen relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and individuals.
This plan reflects our progress to date and our commitment to strengthening accountability as we continue our reconciliation journey.
Scott Mayne CEO / Managing Director
Cultural respect underpins our approach. By valuing the diversity of First Nations peoples, we are building a workplace where people feel respected, supported and able to contribute, and where employment practices promote fairness and inclusion.
This Innovate RAP presents an opportunity to support positive social and economic outcomes for First Nations communities. We will focus on our supply chain as a key lever for change, supporting economic participation, employment pathways and engagement with First Nations–owned and operated businesses through the products and services we purchase and the solutions we deliver to our customers.
We also recognise the role the Australian business community can play in creating positive social impact and have extended our involvement with organisations that support First Nations learning pathways.
This plan reflects our commitment to continuous learning and improvement as we work towards genuine reconciliation. We invite our people, partners and stakeholders to join us on this journey.
A MESSAGE FROM CEO RECONCILIATION AUSTRALIA
Reconciliation Australia commends Bunzl Australasia on the formal endorsement of its second Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
Since 2006, RAPs have provided a framework for organisations to leverage their structures and diverse spheres of influence to support the national reconciliation movement.
With over 5.5 million people now either working or studying in an organisation with a RAP, the program’s potential for impact is greater than ever. Bunzl Australasia continues to be part of a strong network of more than 3,000 corporate, government, and not-for-profit organisations that have taken goodwill and transformed it into action.
The four RAP type - REFLECT, INNOVATE, STRETCH AND ELEVATE - allow RAP partners to continuously strengthen reconciliation commitments and constantly strive to apply learnings in new ways.
An Innovate RAP is a crucial and rewarding period in an organisation’s reconciliation journey. It is a time to build the strong foundations and relationships that ensure sustainable, thoughtful, and impactful RAP outcomes into the future.
An integral part of building these foundations is reflecting on and cataloguing the successes and challenges of previous RAPs. Learnings gained through effort and innovation are invaluable resources that Bunzl Australasia will continuously draw upon to create RAP commitments rooted in experience and maturity.
These learnings extend to Bunzl Australasia using the lens of reconciliation to better understand its core business, sphere of influence, and diverse community of staff and stakeholders.
The RAP program’s emphasis on relationships, respect, and opportunities gives organisations a framework from which to foster connections with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples rooted in mutual collaboration and trust.
This Innovate RAP is an opportunity for Bunzl Australasia to strengthen these relationships, gain crucial experience, and nurture connections that will become the lifeblood of its future RAP commitments. By enabling and empowering staff to contribute to this process, Bunzl Australasia will ensure shared and cooperative success in the long-term.
Gaining experience and reflecting on pertinent learnings will ensure the sustainability of Bunzl Australasia’s future RAPs and reconciliation initiatives, providing meaningful impact toward Australia’s reconciliation journey.
Congratulations Bunzl Australasia on your second Innovate RAP and I look forward to following your ongoing reconciliation journey.

ABOUT THE ARTIST AND ARTWORK
KYLIE HILL
Aboriginal artist Kylie Hill is a proud Kalkadoon and Waanyi woman from Mount Isa in Far North Queensland.
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
In the heart of our vibrant land where ancient stories have woven through the fabric of everyday life, communities thrived, deeply connected to each other and to the earth.
This community, nestled between the sprawling plains and the vibrant hills, each stroke and colour illustrates the unique and intricate relationships that bounds community together.
The dominant hues of purple and blue in the painting symbolises the sky at dusk, a time when community gather to share stories and wisdom. The rich oranges and greens reflected the earth, the source of sustenance and the foundation of heritage. Each colour tells a story, from the vibrant flowers blooming in the fields to the deep roots of ancient trees that have stood for generations.
The swirling lines and circular patterns represent pathways of connection—both physical and spiritual. These paths reflected the journeys of community members, who travelled between homes, shared meals, and offered support during times of need. Each dot is a representation of an individual, a family, or a moment in time, illustrating how every person contributed to the tapestry of their community. This art piece not only serves as a reminder of the past but also illuminates the path ahead, guiding community as they continued to grow together, rooted in the rich soil of shared history and vibrant culture.
“ COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS ” is a living testament of unity, love, and resilience.
All symbols create a powerful message that brings about actions that strengthens relationships and growth while establishing the best approach for a powerful influence in achieving reconciliation in the community and workplace.
OUR VISION FOR RECONCILIATION
Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia that embraces unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, and a national culture that represents equality and equity, historical acceptance of our shared history and removal of negative race relations.
Within our organisation, this means creating a culturally safe and inclusive workplace, partnering with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and organisations to drive economic, educational, and employment opportunities, and embedding respect for culture into everything we do.

OUR COMMITMENT
We recognise the diverse lived experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia, shaped by deep and enduring connections to Country, culture, community and kinship.
This is Bunzl’s second Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, building on the foundations, learnings and relationships established through our first RAP. It reflects our progress to date and our continued commitment to strengthening accountability as we advance our reconciliation journey.
Reconciliation is an ongoing process. We acknowledge the importance of listening to and learning from Traditional Custodians. We value the knowledge, time and perspectives shared with us and seek to respectfully reflect these insights in our decision-making, ways of working and relationships.
Through this second Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, we commit to building respectful and genuine relationships founded on learning, partnership and accountability. We support self-determination and aim to contribute to outcomes that recognise and uphold the rights, cultures and aspirations of First Nations peoples.
At Bunzl, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and culturally respectful workplace where First Nations employees feel safe, valued and supported. We are focused on creating clear and accessible pathways to employment, development and leadership, supported by workplace systems that enable participation, growth and long-term opportunity.
We will continue to invest in education and learning pathway programs that support young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These programs help participants stay engaged in education, build confidence and develop life skills, while creating pathways into further education, training and employment.
We are also committed to strengthening relationships with First Nations communities through increased engagement with locally owned and operated First Nations businesses. By embedding this focus within our supply chain, we aim to support economic participation and sustainable outcomes.
This second Innovate RAP reflects our commitment to continuous learning, reflection and improvement. Through collective action, we seek to contribute to positive, lasting change for First Nations communities, now and for future generations.
KEY FOCUS AREAS
• Build on learnings from our first Innovate RAP
• Foster an inclusive and culturally respectful workplace
• Strengthen relationships with First Nations communities
• Support education, employment and leadership pathways
• Increase engagement with First Nations–owned and operated businesses
• Maintain accountability and continuous improvement
OUR JOURNEY SO FAR
Over the past three years, our Innovate RAP has driven meaningful progress, strengthened relationships and embedded reconciliation more consistently across our organisation. While there is more work ahead, this reflects growing momentum and a clear commitment to action.
EMBEDDING OUR COMMITMENT
Our previous RAP marked our first formal Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan. While reconciliation initiatives were already underway across Bunzl Australia, the Innovate RAP provided a clear structure to unite these efforts, set shared priorities and strengthen accountability. As our first Innovate RAP, the focus was on embedding commitment across the business, establishing governance and building understanding, creating a solid foundation on which to grow and deepening our reconciliation efforts.
We are deeply grateful for the wisdom and lived experience shared by Dixie Crawford for her support and guidance in creating our first Innovate RAP. Dixie is a proud Barkindji woman from Wiradjuri Country and founder of Nganya who partners with businesses to create meaningful change. She offered us guidance on our Reconciliation Action Plan, First Nations strategies, cultural capability development and executive coaching. Her support has helped us strengthen our commitment to reconciliation and build a more inclusive future.
Our RAP was officially launched in February 2023 in Western Australia at an event that brought together employees and First Nations partners, including the Clontarf Foundation, Cole Workwear and the Kiilalaana Foundation. The launch included a Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country delivered by Elder Len Collard, marking an important milestone in our reconciliation journey.
One of the challenges in our journey has been maintaining momentum across the business over time. While the early stages were marked with strong enthusiasm and engagement, sustaining this energy requires ongoing effort and intention. As our understanding has deepened, we recognised that meaningful reconciliation goes beyond visible recognition. It requires creating space and support for learning, growth and open dialogue – including the willingness to engage in complex
and sometimes uncomfortable conversations. Much of this work is not always visible, but it is critical. Navigating this shift has required courage and reflection and represents an important step in moving from awareness to embedding reconciliation into our culture and way of working.
Since then, and informed by these learnings, we have continued to progress our Innovate RAP by refining our focus, strengthening relationships and delivering key initiatives. This period has allowed us to deepen understanding, fine-tune our plans and embed reconciliation more meaningfully across the organisation.
CULTURAL LEARNING AND AWARENESS
Building understanding has been a key focus of our work. Our Cultural Learning Strategy has delivered some of the most positive outcomes over the past three years. While levels of understanding across the organisation continue to vary, we are seeing increased curiosity, engagement and confidence in conversations about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. Cultural learning activities, Acknowledgements of Country and open dialogue are becoming more embedded, strengthening foundations for respect, reconciliation and positive race relations.
To support this learning, we launched a dedicated Reconciliation page on our employee SharePoint site, improving access to practical resources including guidance on Acknowledgement and Welcome to Country, engaging with local Indigenous communities, First Nations procurement and running NAIDOC Week events.
Leadership engagement has been a critical component of this work. Eighteen people leaders participated in a two-day on-Country cultural immersion experience with Ngaran Ngaran Cultural Awareness as part of a leadership program. During the experience, leaders learned about the
language, songs, and stories of the Yuin People, visiting places of cultural significance across Narooma and Djirringanj country. This immersive learning supported deeper reflection, strengthened connection to First Nations cultures and increased leaders’ confidence to engage in culturally respectful and informed conversations within their teams.
In addition, cultural learning sessions such as a virtual presentation by Jeffrey Morgan from the Lifestyle Program provided leaders and teams across Bunzl Australia with opportunities to hear personal lived experiences, further supporting understanding, reflection and dialogue across the organisation
RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
We continued to strengthen respectful, mutually beneficial relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders and organisations through active participation in National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week. These engagements provided opportunities for our people to connect with Elders, artists and community members, supporting deeper understanding of First Nations cultures, histories and perspectives.
Across our business, employees participated in locally led cultural activities, Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremonies, community events, and creative initiatives that celebrated local First Nations stories. These experiences encouraged learning, dialogue and reflection, helping to embed reconciliation through meaningful community connection.
SUPPLIER DIVERSITY AND ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION
Over the past three years, we have continued to strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander supplier engagement as a key pathway to supporting
positive economic and social outcomes. Our focus has been on building respectful, long-term relationships that create meaningful opportunities for First Nations–owned and operated businesses to participate in our supply chain.
This work has included collaboration with CorporateConnect.AB to provide CCAB Supply Nation-certified coffee cups to our customers. We also established new supply partnerships with Yarn’n Co, expanding the range of First Nations products and services available. In addition, we have maintained and strengthened existing relationships with Chemrose, Wirrpanda, Cole Workwear and Yaru, recognising the value of consistency and continuity in supplier partnerships.
Furthermore, we have continued to engage with Supply Nation to guide our approach, support credibility and ensure our reconciliation efforts align with best practice. Through these actions, we are working to embed supplier diversity in a way that supports sustainable economic participation and shared value over the long term.
EMPLOYMENT PATHWAYS
We reviewed and mapped opportunities to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment outcomes, focusing on recruitment, retention, and professional development pathways. While this work is still in its early stages, it has identified clear opportunities to strengthen future employment and leadership pathways within the organisation. We continued our partnership with Clontarf, supporting programs that help young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people stay engaged in education and build pathways into employment. Employees were actively involved through mentoring, attending events and site visits, and building relationships with local Clontarf Academies, strengthening connection and understanding across our business.
LOOKING AHEAD
Collectively, our progress over the past three years demonstrates positive momentum. While we recognise reconciliation is an ongoing journey and that more work remains, we are encouraged by the foundations built to date. Our Innovate RAP continues to guide us towards stronger, more respectful and more impactful action, and we remain committed to learning, improving and taking meaningful steps forward.

Together, they guide implementation, monitor progress, and ensure reconciliation considerations are embedded in decision-making, policies and practices.
Our approach is strengthened through trusted external advice. We engage with organisations such as Clontarf, Yalari, Supply Nation and Reconciliation Australia to inform our thinking, challenge our assumptions and ensure our actions remain credible, culturally appropriate and aligned with best practice. These relationships provide valuable insight into lived experience, community priorities and effective pathways for impact.
Accountability and continuous improvement are central to our governance framework.

The RAP Working Group meets bi-monthly to review progress against agreed actions and targets, share learnings and identify opportunities to refine an d strengthen our approach.

Progress is also shared with nominated members of our Executive through our Asia Pacific Sustainability Committee. This cycle of review and improvement ensures the RAP remains relevant, responsive and grounded in both internal experience and external guidance.
