It has become trendy for businesses, performing arts groups, etc. to issue a statement acknowledging that the land where they conduct business once belonged to various indigenous tribes. It's virtue signaling because all they do is make the statement, they don't offer anything to those tribes in the form of charity, discounts, shared land use, etc. But it makes them feel better to admit that they are profiting from stolen lands

That's a great example. I would actually take this further, and say that such signaling of virtue not only allows them to pat themselves on the back, but also gains them sales cred from people who (in their own virtue signaling) wish to purchase from "good" businesses, while not actually looking at what "good" means.
