First Nation, Inuit & Métis Relations
Our relations with First Nation, Inuit and Métis people and communities are extensive. We recognize that First Nation, Inuit and Métis people possess unique knowledge, understanding of lands and waters and specialized technical and business skills. We work directly with First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities, businesses and organizations and we work with companies and governments that wish to enhance their First Nation, Inuit and Métis relationships. Anwaatin recognizes and respects the distinct historical, legal and cultural status of First Nation, Inuit and Métis in Canada, and Tribal organizations in the United States, including rights, interests, distinct ways of life and traditional and current uses of lands and resources.
We conduct our business in an environmentally responsible way and consider future generations in our decisions, linking to the similar efforts of First Nation, Inuit and Métis people and communities to protect the land, air and water. We seek out and support business, employment and economic opportunities for First Nation, Inuit and Métis peoples, build First Nation, Inuit and Métis people and businesses into our supply chain, regularly consult business directories such as those available from Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, and provide mentorship and training opportunities within our project work.
Sustainable Procurement
We embed sustainable and ethical considerations into our procurement processes. Our Sustainable and Ethical Purchasing Policy guides us to make better purchasing choices so that our firm can continue to reduce its negative impacts on environmental and social systems, locally and globally while promoting a health community and health workplace. We conduct our business in environmentally responsible ways and consider future generations in our decisions, linking to the similar efforts of the communities in which we work.
