‘Remembering Country’ when planning clean-tech projects
Did you know that Dhawura Ngilan means ‘Remembering Country’ in the Ngunnawal language?
Serving as an important reminder for businesses planning clean-tech projects on First Nations estate to plan upfront for meaningful engagement with communities at every step of the project.
That sentiment is reflected in the title of the Dhawura Ngilan Business and Investor Initiative’, which was developed by First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance, Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) and UN Global Compact Network Australia.
The investor guide offers practical tips for businesses to optimise engagement and tap into First Nations knowledge, in order to unlock investor support for clean-tech projects, moving beyond compliance and positively impact project delivery.
Powering Australia’s First Nations Node Leader Sam Kirby recently caught up with Estelle Parker, CEO of the RIAA, to discuss the guide and to further explore how our organisations can work together.
We look forward to ongoing engagement with Estelle and her team as we pursue practical ways to deliver better business outcomes for First Nations.
