Ask the experts webinar: Upholding Indigenous rights in supply chains

Many companies have pledged to respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP and LC) in their commodity supply chains. Yet turning these commitments into practice often proves challenging, especially at scale. This interactive AFi ‘ask the experts’ webinar created space for companies, multi-stakeholder initiatives, service providers, and other participants to receive practical feedback on the questions and challenges they are facing. It explored what it means for companies to respect IP and LC rights, and offered perspectives from peoples and groups whose cultures, lands, livelihoods, and resources are directly affected by business actions. Speakers took questions on topics including: Identifying rightsholders and their rights Conducting free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) processes Turning company policies into supplier action Moving beyond audits to monitor for performance and compliance Remedying human rights harms Taking collaborative action to address systemic issues Moderator Oda Almås Smith, Responsible Finance Programme Coordinator, Forest Peoples Programme Speakers Tim Derr, Rights & Livelihoods Senior Associate, Rights and Resources Initiative Justin Dupre-Harbord, Deputy Director, Responsible Sourcing and IP and LC Rights, Proforest Pramasti Ayu Kusdinar ‘Dinar’, Akar Global Initiative, Indonesia Barbara Wettstein, Human Rights Manager, Nestlé
