Stimulating opportunity and advancement within indigenous communities.
What is LEIP?
The LEIP program (Logistics Empowerment for Indigenous People) is a company pledge to Naniq’s business partners and locations served that Naniq is committed to supporting indigenous communities through logistics partnering. LEIP is a platform created to help indigenous businesses and multi-national logistics companies (MLCs) connect for contracting and philanthropic opportunities. LEIP’s goal is to create opportunity and advancement within indigenous communities while supporting businesses within the logistics field and building relationships between the two for the benefit of both.
Indigenous organizations and businesses that participate in the program receive training and technical assistance designed to strengthen their ability to compete effectively in the global economy as well as direct access to millions of dollars in contract work through LEIP’s MLC pipeline. LEIP’s indigenous business development is accomplished by providing various forms of logistics assistance in management, technical operations, finance, and procurement.

The creation of these opportunities is central to our duty to social responsibility as well as a fundamental part of our operational ethics.
