We’re proud to share Planetary’s commitment to the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) program.
This commitment marks the beginning of our journey with the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business’s (CCIB) PAIR program, which is a gold standard in corporate social responsibility focused on Indigenous engagement.
Climate solutions must be built in partnership with the communities they touch. That’s why we’re holding ourselves accountable through a structured framework for growth, learning, and progress across four core areas: leadership actions, employment, business development, and community relationships.
Why PAIR Matters
The PAIR program is Canada’s leading Indigenous relations certification. Designed to support continuous improvement, it helps companies like ours integrate Indigenous engagement into everyday operations. Through a phased, three-year approach at the Committed level, PAIR supports organizations in developing strong, respectful, and lasting relationships with Indigenous communities.
It’s not just about checking a box. This Commitment is about building trust, strengthening partnerships, and sharing in long-term prosperity. Verification from external Indigenous business professionals, and input from Indigenous community members, ensure that PAIR companies are living up to their commitments, not just on paper, but in practice.
Looking Ahead
Our PAIR commitment is just the beginning. We’re actively participating in cultural awareness training, working with CCIB facilitators, and building our strategy in close collaboration with the Indigenous communities we engage with. We understand this is an ongoing process, and we’re here to do the work.
As we continue to develop our carbon removal solution, we know that true climate solutions must include social and economic equity. Through PAIR, we aim to contribute to meaningful economic reconciliation while ensuring our technology is built on a foundation of mutual respect.
