Reconciliation Action Plan
In May 2023, on the traditional land of the Turrbal, Yuggera and Quandamooka people, AMS Group very proudly launched its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). We pay our respect to elders past and present and emerging. We recognise their continuing connections to lands, sea, and the environment and appreciate the shared generational knowledge that First Nations people hold.
We have established a key partnership with the Minjerribah Moorgumpin Elders-In-Council Aboriginal Corporation (MMEIC). In collaboration with MMEIC, AMS Group has established an educational partnership that will offer four maritime traineeships each year to First Nations descendants from the Quandamooka region.
This partnership will result in an estimated investment of $3.5M over a ten-year period and provide significant opportunities for these First Nations trainees in the maritime industry. The partnership also offers AMS Group the opportunity to learn and develop from the trainees as they bring their knowledge of the waterways on which we operate our business.
Our commitment to providing these maritime traineeships for First Nations descendants directly contributes to Australia's commitments for SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth and SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities.
AMS Group has also committed to spending 3% of our operating expenditure budget with indigenous-owned enterprises.
