ReconciliACTION Scores are designed to evaluate and measure the effectiveness of corporate Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) and assess how well companies are integrating and supporting Indigenous communities through tangible actions rather than just symbolic gestures.
Why ReconciliACTION Scores Matter for Real Reconciliation:
- Accountability: Ensuring companies follow through on their RAP commitments.
- Transparency: Providing clear and accessible information on corporate actions.
- Impact: Highlighting effective practices and identifying areas needing improvement.
Components of the Score:
- Transparency/Accountability: Openness and detail of reporting on RAP outcomes.
- Employment: Number and retention rate of Indigenous employees.
- Supplier Engagement: Financial commitment to Indigenous self-determination.
- Community Support: Pro bono services and community development.
