National Day for Truth and Reconciliation at Desautels

Business and Reconciliation; Ethical Considerations for Equitable Sustainability


“Although the corporate sector is not a direct party to Treaty and land-claims agreement negotiations, industry and business play an extremely significant role in how the economic, social, and cultural aspects of reconciliation are addressed, including the extent to which opportunities and benefits are truly shared with Indigenous peoples and the environment of traditional homelands is safeguarded.”
