Supporting our Indigenous objectives with sustainability initiatives
by Chelsea Ardley
At Corporate Protection, under the visionary leadership of our Chief Information Officer, Keith Herlihy, we have managed to combine two of our core corporate objectives, environmental sustainability and Indigenous awareness.
As a family owned and operated company based in Queensland, with a 27-plus year history of operating extensively throughout regional Australia, Corporate Protection has a sincere commitment to the local community.
Our founders were both raised in outback Australia and the culture of awareness and importance of local content runs through the entire organisation. We aim to give back to local communities in real and tangible ways.
The initiative was supported and delivered in the field by Corporate Protection Operations Coordinator NQLD, Max Walker.
We worked with ‘H.O.M.E.’ (Helping Our Mob Everywhere) to deliver this support. H.O.M.E. is a Life Skills Support Services Provider whose mission includes delivering better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses within major projects, deliver best practice outcomes in remote communities and to deliver training and development opportunities in rural and remote communities;
Our support included 13 IT kits with laptop, CP Laptop bag and charger.

Our support was truly appreciated.
Irene Leard, Managing Director of ‘H.O.M.E.’ (Helping Our Mob Everywhere) provided her feedback and thanks on receipt of the equipment:
Your generosity is only outdone by your kindness. Thank you. We are so touched by your generous gift. We’re blessed to have friends like you who are really genuine.
This is exactly what we needed. I am embarrassed. How do I reciprocate such a great gesture? I’ll always remember this.
Max, actually got to meet some of the youth we are currently helping in our programs, so you can understand how grateful we are and so were they.
Max, thankyou, you are a true Gentleman and a great ambassador for CPA.
