Question

Companies that adopt purposeful strategies to build solid partnerships with Indigenous peoples, businesses, and communities do so for a variety of reasons. Indigenous peoples add to a company’s diversity by offering unique characteristics and talents, and a niche employment market in both urban and regional settings across the nation. Advancing Indigenous peoples and their economic development is seen by many companies as promoting reconciliation. They align corporate social responsibility strategies to Indigenous causes–maybe to impact social and economic growth in communities where they do business, or perhaps due to a sense of responsibility to contribute to the positive well-being of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
