Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG)

Paragon demonstrates this commitment by:

• Valuing our employees, stakeholders, clients, vendors, and Indigenous partnerships, with a focus on supporting our local communities.
• Acting as a steward of social responsibility and environmental sustainability.
• Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Social Responsibility

Social responsibility is an integral part of Paragon’s business activities and culture. Paragon recognizes its place as a global participant and has a shared responsibility to promote healthy ecosystems, social equality, and good organizational governance.

Indigenous Relations

Paragon recognizes the history, diversity, and capabilities of local Indigenous peoples. Paragon operates within traditional Indigenous lands, and as such, recognizes its responsibility to foster and preserve relationships with local Indigenous communities. We understand that when Indigenous communities can benefit through employment, education, investment, and revenue sharing, all parties succeed. Paragon has partnered with several Indigenous communities and through employment and training opportunities, revenue sharing, and community donations, is empowering these communities.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is important to Paragon because we recognize that diverse teams are more innovative, perform better, and lead to higher employee engagement. Paragon applies fair provincial and federal labour practices and values the individual contributions that our employees offer. Paragon is committed to diversity within the workplace and our talent acquisition, promotion, and retention strategies are evidence of this.
