Scotiabank has once again been recognised by the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) for its positive relationship with Canada’s Aboriginal community.
Scotiabank received The Progressive Aboriginal Relations (PAR) Gold standing, the highest rating which recognises companies that have demonstrated effective programmes and policies to maximise involvement with the Canadian Aboriginal community.
Scotiabank is one of only six companies in Canada that have been awarded with the distinction in 2017.
“Scotiabank is proud that its work to build a constructive relationship with Canada’s Aboriginal people is being recognised,” said Brian Porter, Scotiabank’s President and CEO. “This recognition acknowledges our commitment to Aboriginal communities and encourages us to continue to strengthen our involvement across the country.”
This is the third time that Scotiabank has been recognised by CCAB at the PAR Gold Level.
PAR provides companies with the ability to conduct a comprehensive self-assessment of their performance in four categories: employment, community investment, business development and community engagement. The results and findings are externally verified and rated by a jury.
