EMPOWERING INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES THROUGH TRAINING A cornerstone of A2SKI’s mission is the empowerment of Indigenous workers. The company offers free, comprehensive training programs to all community members it hires. “Our training covers essential certifications and skills, from heavy equipment operation to leadership for excellence,” Merasty explains. These initiatives aim to equip workers with the expertise needed to excel in their roles and build long-term careers. “We’re committed to more than just job creation; we’re building leaders and fostering professional growth,” he adds. SUSTAINABILITY AND LEGACY BUILDING A2SKI Industrial integrates sustainability into its operations, emphasizing environmentally conscious practices and smart technologies. “Sustainability is not just a goal; it’s a responsibility,” says Skaros. The company’s commitment extends to environmental stewardship and creating a lasting legacy for PBCN and other Indigenous communities. Initiatives like A2SKI-PDI, which focuses on innovation in the door industry, and partnerships with other Indigenous organizations, showcase the company’s dedication to inclusive growth and positive change. 61 FEB 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
