Sabco was established in Adelaide in 1892 and whilst our 130 history is something that we are very proud of, we recognise that it is young by comparison to the rich history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture.
Sabco is made up of a dynamic team that embraces the values and principles of respect and mateship, with an overriding “can-do” attitude – we call this the “Sabco DNA”.
As we grow as a company we are seeking meaningful ways to engage, listen and learn. We are committed to leveraging our resources and influence to make a positive contribution and there is a genuine will amongst the team to be involved and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
We acknowledge that some business decisions have the ability to socially impact our employees, and we believe this is one of those occasions.
When Sabco decided to commit to a RAP we committed to always improving our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, teachings, beliefs and future prospects. These new learnings and appreciations now become a part of the Sabco story, a talking point that our employees can share with family and friends with the potential to shape thought and actions well beyond the scope of Sabco.
We will use this opportunity to learn and grow as a business and to encourage the entire team to use this knowledge in our wider relationships with our partners and customers. We believe that by understanding the rich history of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, we can create a more dynamic, tolerant and connected workforce that can use this perspective to influence and create opportunity well beyond our own company.
The Artwork
Sabco is proud to have engaged Tyrhys Wilson to create the artwork for our RAP.
The essence of the artwork is best captured in Tyrhys’ own words….
The Flow of Spiritual Energy
From the old to the new, the energy lives within us all. We may not see or hear it, but we can feel it in hearts and minds. It cleanses our surroundings and purifies the air with freshness making our homes feel alive with energy and brightness. And when time goes forward the old may rest and the new rises into the world of hardship, but is guided by the spirits in the darkest times of life. The spirits light holds purity and wisdom from the past and is gifted to those in the present moment, for they carry on for the future in another life.
