Ochre Partnerships
Supply Nation partners with influential organisations across the country that understand the significant business benefits and lasting positive social impact that supplier diversity delivers.
Why Ochre?
Ochres – naturally occurring earth pigments – have always been highly valued amongst Australia’s First Peoples for painting and ceremonial purposes.
Even in areas where specific ochres don’t naturally occur for hundreds or thousands of kilometres, they were used and traded for millennia – making ochre a potent symbol for Supply Nation partnerships.
Different oxidised minerals give each ochre its colour, ranging from white, through yellow/gold, to reddish brown. The deeper the colour, the rarer and more valuable the ochre.
