Barkley Project Group

Direct

• Develop quality, reliable, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all: Taking a community-centric approach, Barkley supports development of clean energy infrastructure that prioritizes affordability, sustainability, and energy ownership. The projects they support generate over 52,000 MWh of clean energy annually, that have contributed to avoid over 957 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
• Economic Growth and Employment: By expanding their project management capabilities and offering services to more clients, Barkley can further generate employment, skill development, and economic growth.
• Decouple economic growth from environmental degradation: Promotion of sustainable practices with employees and clients through the deployment of environmentally friendly technologies that contribute to the climate transition. Barkley’s mission is to provide the technical capacity required for development of community owned sustainable energy and infrastructure.

Indirect

• Improve resilience and empowerment of communities for their development: by serving over 45 Indigenous communities in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories, the investment will expand Barkley’s services within the existing client portfolio and reach more communities, and support their capacity-building efforts, fostering self-sufficiency and sustainable development. The company envisions indigenous communities thriving in their own capacity through the pursuit of climate action and community development. Barkley, being a project management firm that works primarily with Indigenous communities, commits to implement a Reconciliation Action Plan that guides the Group’s policies and business operations based on five commitment areas: Indigenous recruitment and retention, Indigenous consultation, Indigenous capacity building, Team education, and Reconciliation in personal life.
• Increase clean and renewable energy production and consumption: improving access to reliable and sustainable energy sources, while making critical improvements through repurposing infrastructure. This contributes to community resilience, reducing dependency on diesel, and improving the overall health and well-being of community members by providing cleaner and healthier energy options.
• Improve awareness and capacity to act on climate change mitigation and adaptation: a recent announcement from the British Columbia government identifies the need for additional clean energy procurement of 3000 GWh per year represents a significant economic development opportunity for Indigenous communities, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting a transition to renewable energy sources. Barkley will support Indigenous communities accessing provincial funding to advance their own clean energy initiatives. Social and environmental risk assessments and climate resilience strategies will improve awareness and capacity to act on climate change for these communities.
