Sydney, Australia – 6 August, 2020 – American Express Global Business Travel (GBT), the world’s leading business partner for managed travel, has adopted its first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

The RAP is certified by Reconciliation Australia and provides a framework to embrace and support the national reconciliation movement. Through this commitment GBT is proactively seeking to improve understanding, build long-term relationships and collaborate with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and peoples.

“Our employees are from states and territories across Australia. Many live and work in regional communities where they are active and valued contributors to the local economy. Adopting this RAP is a natural first step in enriching our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities,” said Jo Sully, GBT’s Vice President and General Manager for APAC.

“GBT’s RAP is fundamental to establishing respectful relationships and meaningful opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through the RAP we seek to enrich our contribution and learn how to better embrace reconciliation.”

The RAP demonstrates GBT’s ongoing commitment to creating a global workplace that give people a sense of belonging and a culture that respects every individual no matter where they are from.
