To be responsive to the regulatory and reputational pressure related to Indigenous inclusion, many companies have developed internal programs or policies on Indigenous relations, recruitment of Indigenous employees, and procurement from Indigenous-owned businesses. For investors, however, the breadth, depth, and content of these programs is impossible to determine. Facing inconsistent disclosure, the extent to which a company had effectively incorporated steps to address Indigenous inclusion and reconcililation is impossible to measure. There are, however, externally-verified options for corporations to demonstarte that their programs meet standards developed by qualified Indigenous organizations, such as the Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) program of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, which provides independent certification to corporations in Canada. BCE Inc's key competitors - Rogers Communications and Telus COmmunications - are enrolled in this program. BCCE is notable for its absence.
