REALIZING THE TRUE VALUE OF ABORIGINAL
PARTNERSHIPS KEY TO FUTURE ECONOMIC
GROWTH AND BUSINESS SUCCESS
October 30, 2013
Vancouver, Canada – As one of
the youngest and fastest growing segments in
North America, Aboriginal businesses and
entrepreneurs are poised to play a crucial role
in international economic growth over the next
decade. Today more than ever, forging resource
development agreements that reflect Aboriginal
interests is a business imperative – not just an
option.
In a dynamic new session aimed at expanding
these partnerships, GLOBE 2014 will
offer insights and strategies for harnessing the
mutually inclusive ‘ Aboriginal
Advantage’. The biennial conference
series returns to Vancouver, Canada from
March 26-28, 2014.
“As we experience profound transformations
in today’s economy and demography, it is more
vital than ever to build strategic alliances
between Aboriginal communities and companies in
order to ensure future economic success,” says
John Wiebe, President and CEO of the GLOBE
Foundation. “At GLOBE 2014, we’ll focus on
the immense economic potential inherent in these
partnerships, including new markets and a
previously underutilized labour force. Moreover,
we’ll explore the ultimate bottom line:
reflecting Aboriginal interests just makes good
business sense.”
Hundreds of billions of dollars of commercial
land-based and resource development projects
have already been identified in close proximity
to Aboriginal communities. But securing the
social license to operate in areas where
Aboriginal interests exist necessitates going
far beyond regulatory and legal requirements. It
not only requires a totally different engagement
approach, but a fundamental rethink about doing
business with Aboriginals.
“Aboriginal communities are open to becoming
full partners in sustainable enterprises in a
diverse array of sectors from renewable energy,
mining, oil and gas, transport, tourism and
agriculture provided the environment is also
protected,” said Chris Henderson, Senior
Advisor to the GLOBE Foundation, and author of
the recently published book, Aboriginal
Power. “The dialogue between industry,
Aboriginal communities and governments needs to
move from generalities to specific commercial
opportunities and partnerships,” Henderson
added. “ GLOBE 2014 brings that focus through
the Aboriginal Advantage sessions.”
“ GLOBE attendees will have the opportunity
to engage with those key players involved in
this new reality, who can share insights and
practical strategies for unlocking the potential
of electricity, mining, pipeline, forest
products and transmission ventures,” says
Wiebe.
At the forefront of these sessions will also be
a discussion of the nation-building
opportunities inherent in recognizing Aboriginal
Power, both as it relates to energy generation
opportunities on Aboriginal lands, as well as in
so far as it relates to the growing power of
First Nation, Metis, and Inuit leaders in
corporate boardrooms.
As the world’s largest and longest-running
conference series dedicated to the business of
the environment, GLOBE 2014 will boast an
impressive lineup of conference speakers,
including globally-recognized thought leaders
and environmental business experts. The
prestigious biennial event will also welcome
more than 400 exhibitors from North America,
Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia
to its world-renowned Trade Fair, where they
will showcase the latest in green, clean
technologies, innovations, and services.
