RIAA's First Nations Peoples' Rights Working Group is an initiative to support members in their stewardship responsibilities respecting First Nations peoples' rights in their business operations and their portfolio of companies.
The First Nations Peoples' Rights Working Group has a three-fold purpose: address and advance the rights of First Nations peoples; elevate First Nations peoples' participation and voices in the investment sector; and increase access, scale and impact of First Nations peoples' related investment activity.
This meeting will feature a special presentation from Justin Agale, First Nations Lead at the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD), who will share insights from AICD’s work to strengthen governance capability and leadership within the First Nations sector.
Justin will discuss AICD’s First Nations sector strategy, including its focus on strategic partnerships, governance education, director pathways and building a community of First Nations governance leaders. The presentation will also explore key sector challenges and opportunities, including how governance models can better support community outcomes, economic development aspirations and responsible engagement with professional services.
This presentation will be followed by the regular industry and subgroup updates.
