"It is not acceptable for any business to ignore their
impacts on people's land rights, security or
livelihoods—the renewable energy sector is no
different," says Mary Robinson, president Mary Robinson
Foundation — Climate Justice and chair of the International
Advisory Network of Business and Human Rights Resource Centre.
In 2016, the international Business and Human Rights Resource
Centre interviewed 50 companies involved in renewable energy
projects about their approach to due diligence in respect of first
nations or land-connected communities, often referred to as
indigenous people, impacted by renewable projects.
