Recipe for Dialogue: Corporate training for building relationships with Indigenous communities

The NGO Business for Social Responsibility and First Peoples Worldwide, an Indigenous advocacy organization, collaborated to help the private sector build more effective, constructive relationships with indigenous people.  Their corporate training initiatives, which are focused on extractive companies (mining, oil, gas and logging), are founded on respect for Indigenous peoples’ rights, aspirations and effective participation in the development process.

This training, which is focused on extractive companies, is founded on a respect for Indigenous peoples’ rights, aspirations, and effective participation in the decisions that affect them.  Both Indigenous people and company personnel have been involved in the design and implementation of the curriculum.
