At Norpac, we recognize and acknowledge the rich cultural heritage, history, and contributions of the First Nations peoples whose traditional lands we operate on. We are committed to building meaningful and mutually beneficial partnerships with First Nations communities based on respect, trust, and collaboration.  It is our goal to ensure that all aspects of our projects from start to finish have positive outcomes for the first nations communities that we are working side by side with.  We strive to establish sustainable long-term relationships, business development, local employment opportunities, training and mentoring opportunities, and cultural awareness.

This partnership is a reflection of our commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and social responsibility in our business practices. We believe that by working together with First Nations communities, Indigenous peoples, and Indigenous owned businesses we can create positive economic, social, and environmental impacts that extend beyond our immediate business interests.

Key elements of our partnerships include:

1. Respect for Indigenous Rights and Cultural Heritage: We acknowledge and respect the inherent rights, traditions, and cultural heritage of First Nations communities. Our business practices will be conducted in a manner that honors and preserves these important aspects.
2. Economic Empowerment: We are dedicated to creating economic opportunities for First Nations businesses and entrepreneurs. Our partnership will involve fair and equitable collaboration, with a focus on promoting economic empowerment and sustainable development.
3. Community Engagement and Consultation: We are committed to open and transparent communication with First Nations communities. We will engage in meaningful consultation processes to ensure that their perspectives and concerns are considered in decision-making processes that may impact them.
4. Environmental Stewardship: Our partnership will prioritize environmentally sustainable practices. We will work together to minimize our ecological footprint and contribute to the preservation of natural resources, aligning with the values of the First Nations communities we collaborate with.
5. Education and Training: We aim to support education and training initiatives that benefit First Nations communities. This may include skills development, job training programs, and other opportunities to enhance capacity and empower community members.
6. Long-Term Commitment: Our partnership is not just a short-term arrangement; it is a commitment to building a lasting and mutually beneficial relationship. We will regularly assess our progress, seek feedback, and adapt our strategies to ensure the continued success of our collaboration.

By embracing these principles, we believe that our business partnership with First Nations communities will not only contribute to the success of our respective enterprises but also promote positive social impact and sustainable development. We look forward to a future of shared prosperity and meaningful collaboration.
