First Nations Partnership: Building a Shared Future
Our relationships with First Nations are built on mutual respect and a shared vision for the stewardship of our natural resource heritage. We believe that true partnership arises from shared prosperity, a principle that guides all our alliances.
A cornerstone of this commitment is our partnership with the First Nations people in the Kitwanga Sawmill in British Columbia. This state-of-the-art facility, with a capacity of over 100,000 cubic meters per year, exemplifies how collaboration can secure a sustainable supply of premium products while fostering economic growth and opportunity. The strength of this partnership serves as a proven working model for all future projects.
Our Commitment to Reconciliation
- Lasting Economic Partnerships: We create mutually beneficial business agreements and revenue-sharing opportunities that support the long-term economic independence and prosperity of our partner Nations.
- Joint Stewardship & Planning: We engage in co-management and collaborative decision-making, ensuring that Traditional Ecological Knowledge is integrated into all forest management plans to protect the land and its values.
- Upholding Environmental & Cultural Values: We work together to identify and protect culturally significant areas, wildlife habitats, and water sources, upholding the highest standards of environmental care.
- Capacity Building & Employment: We are dedicated to building pathways to success through targeted training, employment, and career development opportunities for Indigenous community members within the forest sector.
Building a Circular Economy for a Greener World
We see sustainability as more than a practice—it's the core of a circular system. Our commitment is to transform renewable resources into essential products while ensuring a thriving forest ecosystem for generations to come.
Our Sustainable Pillars
- Responsible Sourcing: Every piece of timber is sourced from certified, sustainably managed forests where ecosystem health, biodiversity, and long-term renewal are paramount.
- Chain of Custody: Our operations are fully compliant with global standards, maintaining rigorous chain-of-custody certifications that guarantee the integrity and responsible origin of our products.
- Zero-Waste Philosophy: We maximize the value of every log. Bark, chips, and sawdust are repurposed to generate carbon-neutral bioenergy for our mills, minimizing waste and reducing our carbon footprint.
Expanding Horizons: From Forestry to Real Estate
Our growth is driven by diversification. We leverage our deep expertise in forest products to explore new opportunities, making real estate a natural extension of our business. By applying our resources to the development sector, we build on our strong operational foundation, creating value and expanding our services into communities.
