AKG is privileged to work in many countries across the globe. We acknowledge the traditional owners and First Nations people for all those places and recognise their connections to lands, water, sky, and community. We are dedicated to learning about local Indigenous People and culture, to sharing what we learn, and to listening and respecting Indigenous voices. We pay our respects to them, their elders and their cultures.
