• Our RAP Advisory Panel has met up to three times per year since its inception in
June 2010, except in 2013 during major change in Lendlease’s business when only
one meeting was convened.
• The RAP Advisory Panel agreed to Terms of Reference in March 2014.
• We have broadened membership of our RAP Advisory Panel to include greater
representation of young Indigenous Australians, peer and partner organisations
and Lendlease business leaders.
• The RAP Executive Lead reports organisationally to a cross-business steering
group of: Managing Director Lendlease Building, Chief Operating Officer
Lendlease Property, Group Head of Sustainability and Group Head of Diversity &
Inclusion. The RAP Executive Lead is hosted by Lendlease Building and national
RAP resource, program and partnership costs are shared across the businesses.
• Implementation and budgeting of RAP activity in the business is managed
differently in each business – some manage the RAP through Operations
(particularly where client/ contract compliance requires it), others manage and
report it through the Sustainability function.
• Since 2012, we have reported annually to Reconciliation Australia’s RAP Impact
Measurement Survey, the Business Council of Australia’s Indigenous Engagement
Survey and the Lendlease Board via Diversity & Inclusion reporting. RAP progress
has also been reported in the 2013 and 2014 Lendlease Securityholder Review and
has been featured in the Chairman’s and/or CEO’s report.
• The number of employees with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage is
captured every second year in the Global Employee Engagemnet Survey, which
has a response rate of around 70%.
• We have registered an Indigenous Training, Employment and Supplier (ITES) Plan
and report with the Federal Government (previously DEEWR) in 2014 and 2015.
• Our in-house legal team has formed a group of RAP champions to assist with
governance and legal issues encountered through RAP activity.
• Elements of RAP reporting have been incorporated into the Lendlease
Sustainability Framework.
• We have had a national Indigenous Engagement Employee Resource Group (part
of Lendlease’s Diversity Council) meeting regularly by teleconference through
2010 – 2013. Changes to Lendlease’s business saw the group move to updates
by email newsletter and a more regionalised focus where businesses were co-
located. The group is first to receive invitations to work with our RAP partners and
communities
