Perth, Australia – INPEX Ichthys Pty Ltd today announced it was supporting bushfire relief efforts in Australia with a one-million-dollar pledge to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery fund. 

In addition, INPEX Australia will match staff donations up to AUD $100,000. 

“Australia is a second home for INPEX. It is our hope this pledge will provide some relief to the people and communities impacted by these devastating fires,” said INPEX President Director Australia Hitoshi Okawa.

INPEX is committed to recognising and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose cultures have existed in Australia for more than 65,000 years.

In particular, we acknowledge the Larrakia people as the recognised Traditional Owners of the land and waters where Ichthys LNG onshore facilities are located, in addition to the Whadjuk Nyoongar people on whose lands our Perth office is situated. Furthermore, Broome and Djarindjin are important logistical locations for transit of our offshore workforce, and we therefore extend our acknowledgement to the Yawuru, Bardi and Jawi peoples, respectively.

INPEX acknowledges the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play in the development of our business in Australia and pay our respects to their Elders – past and present.
