First Nations peoples are key stakeholders in our business and respect for their culture and values is directly linked to our ability to sustainably succeed.
We understand that we operate on or around land that is significant to First Nations peoples, and we recognise their right to maintain cultural customs and access to such lands. This commitment is upheld in our Indigenous Peoples Statement.
We recognise the Mantjintjarra Ngalia, Noongar, Wongatha and Spinifex people in Western Australia and the Wiradjuri people in NSW as the original inhabitants of the lands on which our Company currently operates and plans to develop new operations.
To assist our Indigenous Peoples engagement strategy, we commit to aligning with the following voluntary guidelines relevant to our business, including but not limited to the:
- United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights
- International Bill of Human Rights
- United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
- International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) Indigenous Peoples and Mining Position Statement
Regis is committed to providing cultural awareness training to all our employees. The training is delivered by First Nations people. Our preference is for this to be done by groups directly associated with the land on which we are operating. This is an objective we are still working on to achieve.
