Konica Minolta Australia has announced it has reached the second tier in its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) journey, having officially achieved its Innovate RAP: Implementing change with Reconciliation Australia and acquiring the right to reproduce an artwork by Aboriginal artist Jasmine Coe, titled ‘Ripples’.
Prints of Jasmine Coe's Ripples art will be proudly displayed at each Konica Minolta Australia branch across the country, serving as a daily reminder of the company’s ongoing commitment to reconciliation and community empowerment
Gabrielle Stevens, Chief People and Culture Officer, Konica Minolta Australia, says: “Achieving our Innovate RAP is an important step in our reconciliation journey. We are proud to be taking action to support long-term change, and Jasmine’s artwork is a powerful representation of the difference we can make through mindful and collective action”.
Fittingly, Coe describes “Ripples” as: “A reminder of individual actions and how the smallest changes, with patience, can have the biggest impacts.”
The artwork has been professionally printed on the new Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14010S, using white ink to highlight the vivid colours and intricate detailing in Jasmine’s original piece. These prints will be proudly displayed at each Konica Minolta Australia branch across the country, serving as a daily reminder of the company’s ongoing commitment to reconciliation and community empowerment.
Konica Minolta Australia is also a sponsor of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Community Achievement Award in the Channel 7 Australian Community Achievement Awards. Stevens said, “This award reflects our dedication to supporting change at a grassroots level and recognises nominees who are strengthening cultural identity, championing inclusion, and helping to build a more connected and respectful future for all Australians”.
