Control Over Reporting:

The Pehta Framework is community-driven, meaning that First Nations take an active role in shaping the standards. Indigenous communities are no longer passive recipients of corporate or governmental reports, but rather key decision-makers in the process. By defining the metrics that matter most, Indigenous communities ensure that the focus remains on their priorities and values, providing a stronger foundation for meaningful, accountable reporting.

Greater Leverage in Negotiations:

With clear and robust metrics in place, First Nations have greater leverage when negotiating with industry. The Pehta Framework gives communities a powerful tool to hold companies accountable for their commitments, ensuring that businesses meet Indigenous expectations and deliver real, measurable benefits. This shift in power fosters a more equitable and mutually beneficial relationship between Indigenous communities and industry.
