Predictable Expectations:

The Pehta Framework establishes a set of standardized metrics for measuring the benefits provided to Indigenous communities by industry and government. This clarity creates predictable expectations, reducing the ambiguity that can arise in consultation and other engagement processes. When companies and governments operate under clear benchmarks, it increases accountability and compliance, ensuring that commitments to Indigenous communities are met consistently and transparently.

Fair Comparisons:

A standardized approach under the Pehta Framework allows for easy comparison between companies and projects, making it simpler to assess which industry partners are truly benefiting Indigenous communities. This helps communities identify the organizations that are not just making promises but delivering meaningful impact, enabling them to choose partners who prioritize genuine long-term benefits.
