The power of reconciliation
Nearly 15 per cent of the population of regional and remote Western Australia are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We value the importance of First Nations culture, history and participation. We are privileged to work with, live alongside and provide services to the people who first understood the energy of this land.
We recognise we have a unique opportunity to support all Australians by contributing more to reconciliation, self-determination and economic development. We encourage everyone at Horizon Power to get behind our comprehensive and deeply engaged reconciliation process.
Our journey continues
Our Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was launched in October 2025 and continues our commitment to positively impact the lives of First Nations peoples.
We’re committed to challenging the status quo and leading our industry with reconciliation actions that are informed by our Aboriginal employees and the broader Aboriginal community on the lands we operate in.
Highlights
Employment
Improve our recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, increasing the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our workforce, and building career and education pathways.
Supplier diversity
Develop our Aboriginal Procurement Action Plan, removing barriers and increasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander supplier diversity to support improved economic and social outcomes.
Community partnerships
We continue to partner with organisations that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Since July 2020 and over three funding rounds, we have awarded $776,500 to 45 organisations that are either Aboriginal corporations or directly support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Regional consultation
Implement an Aboriginal Engagement Strategy to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are informed, consulted, and engaged in future projects in line with the United Nations principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent.
Artwork designed in collaboration with our employees
Key to the design are the campfires, which represent the six regions of Horizon Power, and the energy created by fire, lightning, and the sun — traditional forms of energy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Lightning bolts connect the regions to the centre of Horizon Power, radiating the connections of the teams that are supported and energised.
The arch shapes standing around the campfire are the people of Horizon Power – the team standing together and working together. Sun rays abstractly beam around Horizon Power, fuelling energy, not only into our communities but into and from the people working at Horizon Power.
The pebble-like shapes form the strong foundation of the support network, building layers of opportunities and journeys for employees and the communities Horizon Power serves.
Through this RAP, we will continue to build cultural understanding, foster respect, and create opportunities for all.
Together, we will keep moving forward — step by step — towards a future where reconciliation is lived, not just spoken.
Horizon Power acknowledges the Traditional Custodians throughout Western Australia and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal communities and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
