Environment, Social, Governance

Environment, Social, Governance

Our commitment is clear: to enable access and protection. While it might sound straightforward, turning this commitment into reality is a complex endeavor. We acknowledge that every action we take has an impact on both people and the planet, and take pride in our initiatives and efforts to ensure their safety.

Environment

Northern Mat & Bridge (NMB) minimizes our environmental impact by actively monitoring and reporting to accredited third parties for verification. This extends to all three scopes of emissions, including energy, fuel, and natural resource consumption. We set achievable goals, educate our employees, and strive to reduce our footprint—not only within our business but for the communities where we live and work.

Social

NMB is deeply committed to social responsibility, caring genuinely for people. We foster a safe and inclusive work culture, striving to be an optimal equal opportunity employer, supporting diverse individuals from various backgrounds. This includes immigrants, visible minorities, women, persons with disabilities, members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community, and Indigenous communities.

Governance

NMB views good governance as fundamental to creating and preserving value for our shareholders and stakeholders. We maintain a solid approach to corporate governance that aligns with our values and complies with all relevant laws, rules, regulations, and policies.
