Business and Reconciliation
The RRII is grounded in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #92
Inspiring Evolution
From network to an independent, Indigenous-led non-profit organization. The work is supported by SHARE with secretariat services, and National Aboriginal Trust Officers Association (NATOA) delivering education and development programming.
Award-Winning Leadership
RRII was recognized by the Indigenomics Institute as the 10 to Watch and by the Responsible Investment Association for its leadership in responsible investment education on reconciliation.
A Financial System that Empowers Indigenous Perspectives
SHARE leads shareholder engagement efforts in Canada encouraging companies to make tangible commitments to reconciliation, including implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommendations, and specifically Call to Action 92 on Business and Reconciliation.
As a result of this engagement, in recent years, Canadian companies have adopted Indigenous rights policies, made public commitments to respecting the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent. We have also seen companies begin reporting and setting targets for the employment and advancement of Indigenous people and procurement from Indigenous-owned businesses.
