Corporate Partners
Next Generation Thinking
Forward-thinking Canadian businesses leaders know that Indigenous suppliers are a key part of any viable strategic sourcing strategy. But how do you find the right Indigenous businesses to partner with?
The Indigenous-owned companies in the Des Nedhe Group will help you push beyond CSR compliance to find the sustainable, value-adding partners you really need – world-class leaders that can compete with suppliers in any market, industry, or region.
Investing in relationships
At Des Nedhe Group, we approach business differently, forging trusting partnerships and investing in relationships that are measured in years and decades, not from contract to contract.
Building on our strong relationships with Indigenous communities throughout Canada, we take a national-to-nation approach to business development that generates a continuous pipeline of qualified suppliers, entrepreneurs, and partnerships – and the expanded access to skills, land, resources, and talent that comes with them.
Believe in tomorrow
Led by our committed management and Board and a growing stable of industry experts, we follow a strong strategic plan built on pragmatic, long-term growth, diversification, continuous improvement, and continual investment in our people and business.
We are built to adapt with change – and to ensure we are here to help our corporate partners and their communities thrive for generations to come.

Entrepreneurs
Dream bigger
The demand for qualified Indigenous suppliers has never been greater, as corporations and procurement officers in industrial companies across Canada rush to find the experts they need to deliver better performance while also diversifying their supply chain.
The problem is that not all Indigenous suppliers have the skills or capacity needed to serve the needs of larger corporations – or the connections to get the opportunity off the ground in the first place.
That’s where we come in.
Venture forth
As a 100 percent Indigenous-owned development company representing English River First Nation, Des Nedhe Group is in a unique position to bring together Indigenous entrepreneurs and industrial-sector companies who share a vision and drive to create new business opportunities and change the face of Canada’s supply chains.
Working with you to build the skills and knowledge you need to compete at the highest levels, Des Nedhe Group will help your company engage industry, the Government, and other partners, giving you unprecedented access to expanded opportunities for your business.
Better Together
With deep Indigenous roots and more than two decades of experience working with both Indigenous and non-indigenous business and industry leaders, we know that forging relationships between the two worlds poses challenges that will take unwavering commitment to solve – and lead to opportunities that can change lives.
Let’s take the first steps toward that future together.
