ESG – Social

We’re passionate about supporting our workforce and Northern Mat & Bridge (NMB) family members. We aim to motivate, encourage, and listen to our employees. Our commitment includes educating everyone in our team on healthy living, promoting safety, and environmental protection. We accomplish this through comprehensive risk assessments and logical controls that prioritize the well-being of our most valuable assets: our people and the planet.

Diversity and Inclusion

We wholeheartedly embrace and value diversity in all its forms, including immigrants, visible minorities, women, persons with disabilities, members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community, and Indigenous communities. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we’re dedicated to creating a fair and harassment-free workplace.

Strengthening Communities

We’re dedicated to enhancing lives through meaningful employment, fostering a healthy environment, and supporting thriving communities. We have a history of aiding local charities and areas where we operate while building trusted relationships with Indigenous communities. These relationships are based on recognizing rights, respect, cooperation, partnership, and inclusion, guiding our journey toward reconciliation with Indigenous peoples across Canada.

Employee Growth and Development

We’re committed to the evolution of future generations. As an EP Employer with ECO Canada, we provide mentorship, additional training, and support in environmental education for our employees. Dedicated trainers for operators, drivers, and supervisors ensure we have the most knowledgeable professionals in the field. We offer professional development opportunities for career advancement within the organization, promoting from within whenever possible.
