The Foundation of How We Do Business
Friends, customers, partners, neighbours, colleagues, and suppliers – our relationships with Indigenous peoples around the world are diverse. Whatever the relationship, our Indigenous peoples partners can count on us for respect, transparency and trust.
In fact, building and sustaining these relationships has become a hallmark of our business. We have more than 50 joint-venture partnerships, memorandums of understanding and other partnerships with Indigenous communities – some that have lasted decades.
But we’re never content with the status quo, and we continue to pioneer new, collaborative models for Indigenous peoples partnerships around the world.
