Part three of three

The future of First Nations economic inclusion doesn’t sit in government policy—it sits with business, investors, and ESG leaders. In this episode, we unpack the opportunities for companies that take the lead, the investment risks of inaction, and why the First Nations Strategic Alignment Framework is positioned to drive industry-wide change.

🎧 What you’ll learn:
✅ How First Nations economic participation reduces corporate risk and enhances ESG credibility
✅ Why companies that fail to engage meaningfully will face investor scrutiny and reputational risk
✅ How businesses can take immediate steps to integrate First Nations participation into ESG strategies

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

✅ 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
