A declaration, launched during the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in April, was issued by 32 Indigenous representatives from 13 countries to call for fundamental reforms to global commodity certification schemes. "Over the past three decades, many of us have actively engaged with certification schemes to try to prevent adverse impacts by putting in place strong safeguards for the rights of our peoples. There have been important gains, with some of these schemes now embedding respect for our rights. However, based on the cases and experiences shared at the Convening, it is abundantly clear that in an overwhelming number of cases, this has not resulted in certification processes that guarantee respect for our rights in practice." The declaration was the outcome of a 3-day Global Convening on Certification and associated Audit Systems impacting Indigenous Peoples’ rights, which was held in Jakarta in March 2025. It stems from Indigenous Peoples’ increasing concerns that certification schemes have perpetuated pre-existing and ongoing violations of their rights by putting a stamp of sustainability, which often serves to legitimise irresponsible business conduct, and in some cases places Indigenous Peoples at greater risk. The Declaration, thus, calls for: - Indigenous representatives in the governance of all certification schemes - Mandatory training of auditors on Indigenous Peoples' rights - Financial ties between auditors and certified companies to be eliminated 📖 Read the full set of recommendations in the Declaration: https://www.forestpeoples.org/publications-resources/news/article/indigenous-peoples-demand-reform-in-global-systems-for-commodity-certification/ Right Energy Partnership with Indigenous Peoples - REP Asia Indigenous Peoples Network on Extractive Industries and Energy Green Advocates of Liberia Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara - AMAN Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) VIDS PACOS Trust Observatorio Ciudadano Chile Red de Comision de Mujeres indigena RIBCA Cambodia Indigenous Youth Association-CIYA Cecide-Guinée AsM Law Office Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung EarthRights International (fb)
