The first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) by Genworth was endorsed last month as the insurer joins fellow industry leaders IAG, Suncorp, Zurich, Willis Towers Watson and Allianz.

Genworth says the endorsement by Reconciliation Australia will “help to guide us on the incremental steps we will take over time as we progress our awareness, actions, and approach to reconciliation.”

Since 2006, RAPs have provided a framework for organisations to leverage their influence to support the national reconciliation movement. Over 2.3 million people now work or study in an organisation with a RAP.

“Genworth was very pleased to have our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) endorsed,” a spokeswoman tells insuranceNEWS.com.au.

“We are now working through our RAP Actions and look forward to sharing our approach more widely soon.”
