Our Commitment to Reconciliation

Colgate-Palmolive Australia has a proud history of supporting First Nations communities through dental health programs, however we recognise an opportunity to take further steps towards reconciling the relationships between non-First Nations Australians and First Nations peoples through the creation of our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). 

We are committed to reconciliation and use our resources to provide better education, advocacy and support for local First Nations communities.
