“Our work with Rise played an important role in helping us move forward. With their support, we developed our Indigenous Relations Policy and began implementing it, and we are now working toward PAIR certification. In conversations with peers at other companies, I have noticed that this level of progress has been harder to achieve without that kind of guidance and relationship.”
