Indigenous Engagement
At Cardinal Health Canada we strive to build sustainable relationships that create value for both Indigenous peoples and our business.
Territory Acknowledgement
We respectfully acknowledge that Cardinal Health Canada’s head office is situated in the Territory and Treaty 13 lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
Cardinal Health Canada employees, facilities, operations, work, and network depend on traditional Indigenous territories to provide us physical space, sustenance, and community to work, live, and play.
We acknowledge that our ability to live and work on these lands today is a direct benefit of policies of expulsion and assimilation of Indigenous peoples during the time of settlement and Confederation, and since. We express gratitude towards the Indigenous peoples who have and will continue to steward these lands.
Our team is actively engaging in training and education. We aim to listen, learn, establish meaningful relationships with our Indigenous sector colleagues, and engage in courageous conversations as we strive towards fostering economic and cultural reconciliation. We recognize the importance of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and its guiding principles within the context of existing Canadian and U.S. law.
The Canadian Council for Indigenous Business (CCIB) is a national, non-partisan, member-based organization comprised of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous companies. Together, we are committed to achieving the shared goal of increasing Indigenous inclusion in the Canadian economy. The CCIB offers a certification program to recognize positive relationships between businesses and Indigenous groups. Cardinal Health Canada is a proud to be a certified Business Member of the CCIB.
Advancing the journey toward reconciliation. Empowering our employees through education and training.
