Indigenous Participation

Luxwood manufactures and installs structures, equipment and electronic systems for small through to large scale modular buildings.

Luxwood recognises the Traditional Ownership of the land by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Luxwood aims to encourage and support Indigenous economic and skills development through:

• Contracting Indigenous suppliers where possible

• Working with Indigenous businesses to build capabilities

• Encouraging the company’s supplier network to work with Indigenous businesses and support Indigenous employment.

Specific actions undertaken to deliver on this policy include:

• Ensure that all staff have an understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture through cultural awareness training for staff

• In staff inductions, profile the company’s commitment to supporting Indigenous business, encouraging Indigenous employment, and cultural awareness

• Where possible, Luxwood will support workforce development of Indigenous people in the areas in which it operates

• Luxwood has an ongoing commitment to engaging effectively and respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, communities and businesses

• Requesting suppliers to Luxwood to identify opportunities for engagement of Indigenous businesses and employment of Indigenous staff. This includes supporting the development of business capabilities in Indigenous businesses

• Luxwood will work with local Indigenous businesses to build their capabilities through information sharing and mentoring – helping firms to strengthen their skills and meet high performance standards.
