The Missing Piece in ESG – Why First Nations Economic Participation Matters

Bec Season 1 Episode 1

Part one of a three part series.

The ESG space is growing, but First Nations economic participation remains an afterthought. In this episode, we explore why First Nations governance and economic leadership must be embedded into ESG strategies, the gaps in existing frameworks, and why industry transformation—not just government policy—is needed. 

🎧 What you’ll learn:
✅ Why First Nations governance is missing from ESG strategies
✅ The limitations of RAPs, Indigenous Procurement Policies (IPP), and Closing the Gap (CTG)
✅ How businesses that embed First Nations leadership gain a competitive advantage
