Indigenous peoples

Cyprinoid’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and environmental sustainability extends to our steadfast support for indigenous peoples across the diverse regions where we operate.

In every country where Cyprinoid operates, including Australia, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and the South West Pacific, we honor and respect the indigenous peoples of the land, including their elders past, present and emerging.

Our approach to reconciliation goes beyond mere acknowledgment; it involves practical and meaningful collaboration, participation and partnership with indigenous communities. We understand that involving indigenous peoples in decision-making processes is essential for true reconciliation. Therefore, Cyprinoid actively engages with indigenous stakeholders, seeking their perspectives and wisdom in shaping our initiatives and projects where relevant.

One of the ways we demonstrate our commitment is through procurement from indigenous-owned businesses. By engaging indigenous suppliers and contractors where we can, we not only support economic development within indigenous communities but also foster greater equity in the business landscape. Furthermore, Cyprinoid recognises the importance of creating employment opportunities for indigenous peoples. We strive to create inclusive workplaces where indigenous talent is valued, respected and given opportunities to thrive.

We firmly believe that these actions not only acknowledge past injustices but also pave the way for a more prosperous future for all people, including indigenous communities. By embracing diversity, equity and inclusion and actively involving indigenous peoples in our endeavors, we tap into a wealth of knowledge, perspectives and traditions that enrich our own organisational culture and enhance our collective potential for success.

In conclusion, Cyprinoid’s collaboration, cooperation, support and programs related to DEI, environmental sustainability and indigenous empowerment are not only ethical imperatives but also strategic investments in building a more just, equitable and sustainable future for all. Through reconciliation actions and meaningful engagement with indigenous peoples, we strive to create a world where everyone, regardless of background, can thrive and prosper.
