Those expectations are specifically documented in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: 94 Calls to Action.<\/p>\n<p>Our overarching goal is to develop strong, sustainable business relationships with the communities associated with our projects and businesses. These relationships reflect Graham\u2019s core values of commitment, integrity, reliability, and respect for the heritage and culture of Indigenous communities. Ultimately, our inclusive actions, efforts, integrity of the team and respect we show are the measure of these relationships.<\/p>\n<p>To guide us on our path, we have articulated our Indigenous Principles in a formal Board approved document. These eight principles\u2013Trust, Respect, Transparency, Commitment, Community Engagement, Integrity, Indigenous Liaison, and Financial Considerations\u2013are the cornerstone of our approach to Indigenous community engagement. As the first general contractor in Canada to have such a statement, Graham continues to lead the way in engaging with Indigenous communities.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;105deg&#8221; background_color_gradient_start=&#8221;rgba(181,18,26,0)&#8221; background_color_gradient_end=&#8221;#b5121a&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/grahambuilds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Bassano-Dam_May-2018_18-scaled.jpg&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;12vw||12vw||true|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AboutIndigenous EngagementAs a North American organization, the Graham Group operates on Traditional and Tribal lands of Indigenous peoples.
