DLG SHAPE Turns 5

Indigenous Engagement Commitment

DLG SHAPE shares a vision of a more equitable Australia and Indigenous economic independence through employment and commercial activity.

DLG SHAPE is committed to

• Increasing opportunities for Indigenous Australians within our company and procuring products and services from Indigenous companies.
• Acknowledging the diversity of Indigenous people in Australia and strive to appreciate the needs of individuals, their communities and their relationship with the land.
• Understanding the importance of a good relationship with local Indigenous communities, our team works hard to identify and provide opportunities wherever possible.
• Understanding that mentoring and workplace coaching contributes to successful long-term employment and we will continue to provide this. We promote respect and appropriate communication.

Over the last five years, DLG SHAPE has completed over 70 Projects and generated over $70 Million in revenue on construction fit-out and refurbishment services across Australia for both government and private sector clients.

As part of their The Sleeping Giant, Social Return on Investment (SROI) Report, Supply Nation uses a multiplier to measure a businesses social return on investment. For every dollar of revenue, Certified Indigenous Suppliers create $4.41 of economic and social value. The report also found that Indigenous businesses employ more than thirty times the proportion of Indigenous people than other businesses, providing training to staff and a connection to culture.
