We are a family first company.  Our company has deep roots as a family owned business.  Our founder, Robert Harold O'Neill, felt strongly that owning one's own business was the best employment.  He shared ownership of the company freely with family members.  Our company was born of a continuing effort to perpetuate the family business forever.  We have twice been recognized as the small business in Oregon with the most family friendly policies and practices.

We avoid family business pitfalls.  There is a clear separation of family love and business.  There is a clear separation of company ownership and company employment.  There is no presumption that the business will make room for family members.  Instead, family members are told they might not be welcome in the business.  We value employment of family members outside of our company.  We clearly communicate expectations and opportunities.

We work according to a plan.  The plan is a living document--expected to change as our business changes--yet providing the flexible framework to establish our direction and monitor our progress.

Our business works with well-defined partnerships.  Debra Pine owns and oversees the company while Richard Pine runs the company.  Financial Products & Services, Inc., NorthWind Forest Consultants, LLC, and Evergreen Charitable Trust help accomplish our mission through goals and objectives.  All of these entities come together for OPC.

Evergreen Charitable Trust is one way we make a substantial investment in social capital.  Ten percent of paid work time is dedicated to approved civic or charitable activities.  Ten percent of our net income supports Evergreen Charitable Trust.  We annually provide substantial grants in memory of Robert Harold O'Neill.   We have been recognized for our community contributions.  We are good, involved corporate citizens in the areas where we do business.

There is more to life than making money!  We have values that are more important than profits.  Work is a way to honor God.
