First Nations Affairs
🎙️ First Nations Affairs Podcast – Where First Nations Leadership Meets Climate, Finance & ESG
The First Nations Affairs Podcast is your go-to space for deep insights at the intersection of First Nations governance, climate action, finance, and ESG. Hosted by Bec Blurton, this podcast challenges the status quo, driving conversations that move beyond tokenism into real, strategic transformation.
From sustainability frameworks to corporate accountability, we unpack how business, investment, and policy can embed First Nations leadership—not as an afterthought, but as a fundamental pillar of success. Whether you’re in ESG, impact investing, or sustainability, this is the space to explore what true First Nations economic participation looks like.

Why Existing ESG & Indigenous Engagement Frameworks Aren’t Working
Part two of three.
Many organisations have Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs), Indigenous Procurement Policies (IPP), or sustainability initiatives—yet these frameworks aren’t delivering meaningful First Nations economic participation. In this episode, we break down where existing approaches fall short, why corporate Australia must move beyond performative commitments, and introduce you to the First Nations Strategic Alignment Framework.
🎧 What you’ll learn:
✅ Why RAPs often fail to drive long-term Indigenous economic participation
✅ How the IPP has led to black-cladding and missed opportunities
✅ Why businesses must take responsibility beyond government policies to drive real impact
