CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Finite Carbon, North America's leading developer and supplier of forest carbon offsets, is pleased to announce it has achieved Bronze Level Certification in Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) from the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB).
Finite Carbon has worked with more Indigenous communities in North America on forest carbon offset projects than any other offset developer. Since its founding in 2009, Finite Carbon has helped Indigenous communities generate over 50 million forest carbon offset credits, valued at more than $500 million in revenue for those communities.
PAIR certification, the premier corporate social responsibility program with an emphasis on Indigenous relations, provides stringent assurance to communities through independent and third-party verification of company reports. PAIR Bronze companies are recognized among thousands of Canadian entities, acknowledging the commercial case for working with Indigenous businesses and communities. Certification is determined by a jury comprised of Indigenous representatives.
Achieving Bronze Level Certification in PAIR highlights Finite Carbon’s commitment to serving as an excellent business ally, fostering a great work environment, and supporting the prosperity of Indigenous communities. The company is dedicated to building strong, lasting relationships by creating mutually beneficial business opportunities and fostering a respectful work environment for everyone.
David Stevenson, Finite Carbon Director of Canadian Operations, said: “We work with many amazing communities, aiming to provide their members with a compelling, non-extractive economic value from their lands while preserving and prioritizing deeply held conservation and spiritual values for future generations. Forest carbon projects offer an important solution, allowing Indigenous communities to focus on preserving their natural heritage without pressure to exploit their forests to generate funding. Importantly, these projects provide own source revenue for Indigenous community priorities.”
Brandon Vickery, Finite Carbon Co-CEO, added: “Finite Carbon understands and deeply respects the importance of forests to the social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being of Indigenous communities. We look forward to deepening our existing connections and forging new relationships with Indigenous communities through our Canadian operations.”
