Indigenous procurement is an important driver of economic reconciliation and development for Indigenous communities. It generates revenue for Indigenous businesses and forms relationships between corporations and Governments through business agreements and partnerships. Including Indigenous businesses in supply chains is one of the most important ways governments and industry can support Indigenous business, as it moves beyond policy and statements to action. CCAB’s research aims to investigate and highlight Indigenous business capacity and how government and private sectors are approaching this unique part of the economy. Drawing upon in-depth data and analysis, CCAB continues to advocate for improved procurement policies across public and private sectors.
