Committed to positive engagement with our Indigenous communities.
Our sites of operation sit within the traditional territories of Indigenous communities.
Therefore, we will:
Work to build and maintain positive, long-term relationships with local Indigenous communities that are based on mutual understanding, respect, open and honest communication and trust;
Develop strategies in several key areas including employment, economic development, education, training and community support that appropriately reflect the interests of Indigenous groups and BWXT;
Enter into appropriate relationships with communities wishing to be informed and involved with these key areas;
Enhance employee understanding of Indigenous history and culture and the role Indigenous communities play in Canada and in our business;
Identify opportunities to increase our knowledge of the local environment and ways we can work together with Indigenous communities to preserve or enhance that environment for all to enjoy.
