NWP Coal recognizes the potential impact of the proposed Project on Indigenous communities and groups. In response, NWP Coal has established a comprehensive Indigenous Engagement Program, demonstrating a commitment to collaboration and understanding. We are dedicated to closely working with Indigenous communities, taking into account their interests, values, and concerns throughout the project lifecycle. Operating in a manner that prioritizes respect and transparency, aiming to cultivate sustained relationships founded on trust and mutual respect. The goal is to minimize adverse impacts while maximizing opportunities for long-term community benefits.
The Indigenous Policy serves as a guiding framework for engagement, actions, and efforts, reinforcing their commitment to responsible and inclusive project development.

The PAR Program
NWP Coal is pleased to announce its commitment to the Progressive Aboriginal RelationsTM (PAR) program.
Established in 2001, the PAR program includes an online management and reporting a tool that supports participating companies’ efforts toward progressive improvement in Aboriginal relations, and a certification program that confirms corporate performance in Aboriginal relations at the bronze, silver or gold level.
The PAR Program provides a high level of assurance through the independent, third-party verification of company reports on measurable outcomes and initiatives in four performance areas: Leadership Actions, Employment, Business Development, and Community Relations (Engagement and Support).
