Helping to Close the Gap as an Ethical Uniform Supplier: Our Journey Towards Reconciliation
As an ethical uniform supplier, we’re thrilled to unveil our inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) as we gear up for NAIDOC week. But what exactly is a RAP, and why does it matter?
Stick with us, and we’ll unpack why reconciliation is everyone’s business and how our action plan is helping to level the playing field in Australia.
OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Why Reconciliation Action Plans Matter
At Designs To You, we understand the significance of reconciliation in shaping a more equitable future. With a 25-year journey on the lands of the First Nations Peoples, our commitment to reconciliation is deeply rooted. We believe that to truly reconcile, we need to actively work towards closing the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all Australians.
Our Reflect RAP is like a starter kit; it’s our game plan for making reconciliation part of what we do every day as an ethical uniform supplier.

OUR GOAL
Fostering Understanding, One Conversation at a Time
We get it—change starts from within. That’s why we’ve been sparking conversations about culture and history among our team and customers.
Ever seen those yellow Acknowledgement of Country signs in business windows? We’ve got one displayed at the entrance to our head office.
It’s not just there for show. This sign serves as a visible reminder of the land’s Traditional Owners. More than that, it’s a conversation starter, igniting meaningful talks about reconciliation. It keeps us all mindful and focused, reminding us why we’re on this important journey.
