Respect

KBR acknowledges the Traditional Custodians throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community. We acknowledge and pay respects to one of the longest continuing cultures. This proud heritage inspires KBR’s ambition to foster a shared sense of belonging for all Australians.

We understand and acknowledge that to work towards meaningful reconciliation, we must deepen our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and truth. With a strong commitment to embracing truth telling and reciprocity, KBR is committed to listening and learning as we continue to walk this journey of Reconciliation.
