Procurement has the power to build stability while creating business certainty. It is an important driver of economic reconciliation and development for Aboriginal communities. Procurement generates revenue for Aboriginal businesses and forms the relationships with corporations and Government by establishing procurement agreements.
The focus on Aboriginal procurement has grown significantly in recent times. This increase has resulted in a demand for procurement outcomes, particularly from Aboriginal businesses, with Canadian corporations and Governments also seeking opportunities to enhance their outcomes in the supply chain. The unique needs of Aboriginal businesses face when looking to engage in supply chains require innovative solutions.
The focus of the Aboriginal Economic Development Conference will concentrate on the important topic discussions around Aboriginal procurement with engaging keynote presentations and panel discussions relating to challenges, opportunities and best practices for the future. There is a strong rationale for Aboriginal procurement in Canada and some companies are setting a positive example, however no formal process or policy exists to date. The recognition and expansion of a procurement scorecard at all levels of engagement could be the answer to ensuring a better functioning, more inclusive, and more sustainable Aboriginal economy in Canada.
Join like-minded individuals and organizations to help further the discussion on Aboriginal procurement.
