Reconciliation Action Plan
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present and celebrate all First Peoples’ continuing connections and contributions to Country.
With most of our network covering the ACT, and some parts of NSW, we have an important opportunity to contribute positively to reconciliation - we live and work in the communities we serve.
We believe that reconciliation is not just about words - it’s about action. One step at a time.
Innovate: The next chapter of Reconciliation for Evoenergy
Our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) marks a significant step forward in our commitment to reconciliation, guiding meaningful action through the core pillars of relationships, respect and opportunities, and delivering tangible, lasting benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We are proud to partner with Curijo, a respected Aboriginal owned and female led consultancy, for the development and implementation of our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.
Our commitment in action
The Energy of Connection by Shaenice Allan
Inspired by community: Supporting local artists
In 2021, we commissioned local Ngunnawal, Bundjalung and Kamilaroi artist, Shaenice Allan, to create an original artwork for our Reconciliation Action Plan. With over 15 years of experience, Shaenice paints stories passed down to her. Her work is grounded in the Land of her peoples, with each piece representing the many pathways and energy lines that link her to Mother Earth.
The artwork featured on the cover of our RAP, titled The Energy of Connection, symbolises the energy lines flowing out to Sacred Sites across Ngunnawal Country, and the Energy and Power they bring to our community.
Working together: Engaging communities in Major Projects
We are committed to understanding how best to minimise the impact of our operations on the natural environment.
In 2024, Evoenergy completed the Harman Zone Substation and 132 kV transmission line project. During the delivery of this project, Evoenergy engaged local Indigenous company Yakka Rural to support the restoration of the local landscape impacted by the project.
Together, we will plant 129 trees along the project route to restore the landscape impacted by the project, reinforcing our dedication to collaborative action and respect for Country.
Cultural awareness in action: Learning, growing, connecting
We engaged Aboriginal-owned consultancy Curijo to deliver Cultural Awareness training for leaders across our business. The training fostered cultural sensitivity and awareness across teams, deepened understanding of reconciliation and shared responsibility, addressed unconscious biases, supported efforts to mitigate racism in the workplace, and strengthened communication and culturally safe relationships. Building on this foundation, we are now working to roll out Cultural Awareness training for all staff across the organisation.
