Exposure Draft 1 of the Pehta Framework

Exciting Announcement from the Pehta Foundation

On behalf of the signatory First Nation communities, and after nearly 18 months, we are thrilled to announce the release of the first Exposure Draft of the Pehta Framework – a foundational initiative by Indigenous Communities in Canada. This framework represents a groundbreaking step in standardizing Indigenous Community Benefit Disclosures, aligning with the signatory Indigenous Communities' vision and resonating with the institutional investment market's focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) solutions.
