Australia: CEO Bayer Group Australia & New Zealand statement supporting First Nations Voice to Parliament
"Reflections on Leader Forum on the Voice to Parliament", 30 May 2023
[...]
I am pleased that Bayer is also supporting the Yes23! and Uluru Dialogue campaigns and providing forums and conversations for our employees, customers and stakeholders to engage in open and respectful discussions on the Voice to Parliament.
We acknowledge the role and expectation of Bayer as a contributor to supporting First Nations Peoples. As such, we are on our own journey of reconciliation after completing our ‘reflect’ Reconciliation Action Plan in 2021. Our First Nations Working Group are presently developing our Innovate RAP, which we hope to submit later this year.
Finally, we heard that Australians may be feeling “a whispering in their hearts” when we come to decide on the Voice to Parliament and constitutional recognition. We hope whatever we decide it will be based on having the facts. With that, I am pleased to share the Uluru Statement from the Heart."
