AEMEE engaged the Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining (CSRM), a report titled Benchmarking Leading Practice in Aboriginal Business Procurement in the Extractive Resource Sector, was produced and is available here;

Later work undertaken by AEMEE was the development of a checklist to improve the engagement of Indigenous businesses in the supply chain. This Checklist is designed to be useful to large corporations, as well as to emerging or small companies that do not have mature procurement systems and seek to increase Indigenous business participation in their supply chain.
