Jo Sully, Amex GBT’s vice president and general manager for APAC, said: “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.

“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.”
