Topic: Practical Pathways for First Nations engagement in the Supply Chain

The event is presented by The Fair Co., and together with the AHK, this April's ESG Circle explores practical pathways to strengthen ESG performance through meaningful First Nations engagement across the supply chain.  

This session will unpack how social procurement aligns to the social dimension of ESG performance and builds genuine social licence well beyond compliance requirements. Participants will gain a clear view of the current procurement Policy landscape including the key policies that apply in NSW and the Commonwealth Indigenous Procurement Policy. We’ll also take a deeper look at Indigenous procurement in practice covering supply chain integration, opportunities for Aboriginal participation, and how to verify suppliers with confidence. The discussion will also address the growing risks of black cladding and provide practical approaches to managing integrity across your supply chain.
