We help create opportunities through our knowledge and experience in supply chain best practices, Indigenous business relationships and economic development. This can include discovering new Indigenous suppliers to work with across different categories of spend and increasing the participation of Indigenous businesses in sourcing activities.

Our relevant strengths include knowledge and experience in:

  • Enabling supply chain diversification and building relationships with Indigenous suppliers
  • Enhancing procurement policies, processes and contractor standards 
  • Indigenous vendor engagement 
  • Increasing contract awards to Indigenous businesses
  • Building procurement dashboards and reporting on progress

With a focus on Reconciliation, our team can assist with: 

  • Creating partnerships with the business units to support Indigenous suppliers 
  • Developing governance and organizational accountability to remove barriers for Indigenous suppliers 
  • Increasing spending in terms of dollar values and the number of awarded contracts to Indigenous businesses 
  • Facilitating learning and development for Indigenous suppliers about the organizational procurement process

  • Increased procurement with Indigenous businesses
  • Stronger accountability and leading practices in economic Reconciliation

“I have worked with Rise Consulting for four years, and I continue to recommend them to friends and colleagues working on advancing Truth and Reconciliation. What I love about Rise is that they are driving for real Reconciliation – not just performative actions. They want to ensure the organization is doing the work to embed the right practices and processes across the entire organization. They have helped us set guiding principles for our Reconciliation work that continue to drive our organization almost three years later. They are amazing thought partners and do a great job of meeting us where we are, including sharing guidance as we move through the CCIB PAIR Program, towards certification. They have helped us understand industry best practices from supplier diversity programs to employee programs. I am incredibly thankful for the relationships and friendships we have built with Annie and the team at Rise.”
