Nominations open for Aboriginal business award for forest industry – Pulp & Paper Canada
Nominations are open for the 2014 Aboriginal Business Leadership Award, a $5,000 award which recognizes and celebrates First Nations entrepreneurs for their success in a forest products business that exemplifies business leadership, exceptional environmental and safety performance, and the delivery of high-quality products and services.
The recipient must also demonstrate a strong, long-term commitment to the Aboriginal community, particularly in supporting Aboriginal employment.
“We are delighted to once again offer an award to recognize the leadership excellence of an Aboriginal business in the forest products sector,” said David Lindsay, president and CEO of FPAC. “Under Vision2020, we are aiming to refresh our workforce with an additional 60,000 recruits by the end of the decade, and this includes increasing Aboriginal engagement through employment, business development, and entrepreneurship within our sector.”
