Businesses that recognise the importance of sustainability and social responsibility are finding that activities that have negative social or environmental impacts can cause irreparable reputational and financial damage. First Nations peoples and organisations are also becoming more experienced and sophisticated in their commercial dealings and negotiations, and are demanding a fairer deal for the use of their lands.
Well-executed corporate social responsibility programs by businesses are critical. Companies that engage First Nations businesses into their supply chains can get a bigger bang for their corporate social buck.
First Nations businesses are 100% more likely to employ other First Nations people, contributing to economic development and social outcomes for First Nations communities.
