FNESG’s 18th SDG goal focuses on First Nations protection of language, culture & spirituality. Aligning with the growing recognition of ancient knowledge systems in addressing modern environmental, social, and economic challenges. This perspective emphasises the interconnectedness of all living beings and the responsibility to protect our shared home for future generations.

“Our cultural practices using ancient and adaptable intergenerational knowledge can help shape and reclaim our natural world and replenish the mauri (life force) of people, taonga (treasured species) and biodiversity.”

Why First Nations ESG  matters

Interconnected

First Nation principles teach us the profound interconnectedness of our world. Rooted in a relationship with the land that is both spiritual and stewardship-based, these principles honour the equality and respect of all life forms.

They guide us in nurturing community through shared resources and collective decision-making, encapsulated in the ethos of 'one mind, one heart'.

Inclusive

Applying this wisdom to ESG, we measure our business impacts with inclusivity and respect to environmental & social diversity.

We take into considerations the well-being of our environment, the dignity of our workers, and the integrity of governance, ensuring our actions uphold the values we cherish based on the wisdom of traditional owners of our land, waterways and skies.

True Sustainability

Sustainability reaches its truest expression when it's shaped through the lens of First Nations people. Our platform is not only validated by their insights but is continuously enriched & improved through active consultation and collaboration with Firsts Nations leaders and stakeholders. This approach ensures our solution is deeply rooted in the practices and principles that have sustained these cultures for millennia, embodying a form of sustainability that is as enduring as it is genuine.
