Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR)
Integrating economic reconciliation through business
PAIR is a certification program that confirms corporate performance in Indigenous relations at the Bronze, Silver or Gold level. Certified companies promote their level with a PAIR logo signaling to communities that they are:
- good business partners
- great places to work
- committed to prosperity in Indigenous communities
PAIR’s certification program provides a high level of assurance to communities because the designation is supported by independent and third-party verification of company reports. The final company level is determined by a jury comprised of Indigenous business people.
Since the Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) program was introduced in 2001, it is now known as the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) program and remains the premier corporate social responsibility program with an emphasis on Indigenous relations.
