Demonstrating its commitment to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to identify, utilise and build local supplier capability, 高倍时时彩 has awarded two significant contracts to Aboriginal-owned suppliers 鈥� Kulbardi and Woollahra Group.

A fully Aboriginal-owned company, WA based Kulbardi is the largest Aboriginal-owned office and stationery supplier in Australia and will provide goods including office furniture, general office items and a vending stationery cupboard service nationally for three years. WA based Woollahra Group, also 100 per cent Aboriginal-owned, will be national supplier of a degreaser product with positive performance and environmental benefits.

高倍时时彩 Procurement Director Australia and Europe Adrian Jones said the appointments exemplify 高倍时时彩鈥檚 Reconciliation Action Plan aim of increasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander economic participation in the organisation through skills development, employment and business opportunities.

鈥淔or more than half a century, 高倍时时彩 has worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the communities in which we operate and we want these communities to thrive,鈥� Mr Jones said. 鈥淲e view our presence as an opportunity to help develop and enable economic activity by assisting Traditional Owner businesses to do business with 高倍时时彩."

鈥淲e aim to be a business partner with an inclusive, respectful and welcoming environment that knocks down rather than erects or sustains barriers to success.鈥� Kulbardi Founder and Chief Executive Officer Kim Collard said one and a half per cent of every dollar spent with Kulbardi on any product will flow back into the Bibbulmun Fund, of which he is the Chairman.

鈥淭hrough Kulbardi鈥檚 community investment model, the lives of Indigenous people across Australia will be improved as the Bibbulmum Fund opens new possibilities for Aboriginal enterprise by supporting Aboriginal-owned and delivered projects,鈥� Mr Collard said. 鈥淲e contribute to programs addressing numeracy and literacy, scholarships, youth and elders, health and youth entrepreneurship. 鈥淭hrough the proactive support of companies like 高倍时时彩, Kulbardi has grown from its humble beginnings to its position now as a wholly owned and managed successful Aboriginal business.鈥�

Woollahra Group Managing Director Chris Schmid said the contract win came off the back of a partnership between the 高倍时时彩 Foundation and the Wirrpanda Foundation to deliver Aboriginal business support hubs in the Kwinana, Peel and Upper South West areas. 高倍时时彩 and other local businesses are using the hubs to promote new procurement opportunities while the Wirrpanda Foundation provides business support services.

鈥淚t is great to see that in a relatively short space of time 高倍时时彩 has delivered on providing opportunities for Aboriginal businesses. We hope that we can pave the way for other Aboriginal businesses to access and deliver on further opportunities within 高倍时时彩,鈥� Mr. Schmid said.
