Proud to be responsible, fair and open

Corporate governance

T he interests of our stakeholders employees, clients, suppliers and share- holders are at the heart of the decisions we make, as are our values and our own govern- ance framework.

The Executive Committee informs our stra- tegic vision. It brings together a diverse group of experienced industry professionals.

The Board of Directors was established in 1995 and consists primarily of independent directors from a variety of backgrounds. It pro- vides strategic guidance for decision-making and risk management, and selects our Ethics Commissioner. It also appoints the Talent, Culture and Leadership Standing Commit- tee, which advises us on human resources management and succession planning.

We are committed to applying the highest standards to all our activities and complying with the external laws and regulations that govern our industry. With this in mind, our Code of Ethics guides the way we do business, not only as a company, but it applies as well to directors, officers, employees and others who represent the company. The Suppliers Code of Conduct ensures our business partners share the same high ethical standards.

We have a hotline and an email address where any alleged violations to codes of ethics can be reported anonymously.

Lastly, we have implemented a system to pre- vent, detect and address all types of issues associated with bribery. It will enable us to obtain ISO 37001 certification for anti-bribery management systems in the near future.
