We are aligned with SDG 17 through all the partnerships we are creating to
advance our vision of a future of sustainable construction in particular alongside
Indigenous peoples

mind SDG 10 which seeks to reduce inequalities within and across countries
Make Indigenous peoples

around one key goal to adopt an engagement policy and a
concrete roadmap to maximize Indigenous participation in
the projects we build We also strive to be more intentional
respectful and sensitive in our business relationships with
Indigenous peoples
Our plan to strengthen
our relations with
Indigenous peoples
Indigenous peoples have faced and continue to face
signif icant socio-economic challenges and issues that hinder
their individual and collective development. We recognize
that all civil society organizations and businesses have a
shared responsibility to help improve the living conditions
of Indigenous peoples.
That’s why we’ve always wanted to collaborate with Indigenous
communities and to foster harmonious and mutually
benef icial relationships.
For more than a decade, we have carried out some 30
construction projects located in Indigenous communities
or in collaboration with them.
We recognize the importance of respecting the history and
current context of First Nations the Métis and the Inuit We
strive to respect the legal rights of Indigenous communities
across the country and to preserve their beliefs cultures
traditions heritage and territories in all of the projects we
undertake
We need to strike the right balance between the impor
tance of taking action now through shortterm measures
and the need to develop lasting and meaningful business
partnerships We are convinced that the economic growth
of Indigenous peoples has benef icial effects not only for
their communities but for Canada as a whole
