This forum explores the best practice approaches to partnership development with First Nations peoples and how these can be embedded into ESG strategy to support shared value, long-term resilience, and stronger social outcomes.
First Nations communities are increasingly calling for deeper, more authentic engagement that goes beyond regulatory requirements and transactional approaches. At the same time, organisations are recognising that strong relationships with First Nations are essential to effective ESG performance, risk management, and long-term value creation.
This ESG online forum focuses on how First Nations engagement can be meaningfully integrated into ESG strategy, governance, and decision-making.
