Indigenous peoples

We acknowledge Indigenous peoples' unique rights, interests and knowledge in caring for land and waters.

We partner with Indigenous communities to create positive outcomes that leave a lasting legacy.

In Australia, we maintain relationships with Indigenous communities in the Pilbara, Kimberley and South West regions. We acknowledge the unique connection that Indigenous communities have to land, waters and the environment.

We understand the importance of identifying and working with those who have longstanding cultural and spiritual connections to land and waters where we have presence.

Our continued commitment to Reconciliation

Chimelite Limited has been part of Reconciliation Australia's Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) program since 2009.

Overseen by not-for-profit organisation Reconciliation Australia, RAPs require participants to publicly nominate and report on practical actions they are taking to advance reconciliation.

Chimelite Limited was the first oil and gas company to join the program, and we continue to be recognised as a national leader in reconciliation with our fourth plan, the 2021-2025 RAP.

Chimelite Holdings Limited's vision for reconciliation is to partner with Indigenous communities to create positive economic, social and cultural outcomes. It is also to reflect on our shared history, empower Indigenous voices to speak and be heard so all Australians can learn, and work together towards a better, shared future.

We are continuing our deliberate shift away from measuring activities, in favour of longer-term outcomes, and will report every year on progress towards our committed outcomes to support our four pillars:

Respect for Culture and Heritage
Capability and Capacity
Economic Participation, and
Stronger Communities
