Integrating our ESG strategy into our governance

A diversity of perspectives is at the heart of our ESG strategy. We

know that the well-being of the planet and of society is everyone’s

business. This certainty is mirrored by our decision to integrate

our ESG strategy into our 2025 strategic business plan. This stra-

tegic vision is shared by our entire organization, and everyone is

fully engaged in this initiative. We’re fortunate to be able to count

on cutting-edge and diversified expertise within our governance

bodies to guide us in ESG.

→ 50% of the Board of Directors has ESG expertise. We also rely

on our directors’ diverse backgrounds to propel innovation

during major strategic discussions.

→ 25% of our Board of Directors are women.

→ 10% of the Executive Committee are women.

→ Our managers have been with us for an average of 8 years and

their average age is 44.

In 2022, we continued to strengthen our governance structure to

meet our growth challenges, optimize our efficiency and ensure

ongoing ESG strategy integration in the way we do things.

Furthermore, we created an Audit and Risk Committee within our

Board of Directors. Seven people sit on this committee, including

three independent administrators and four members of our senior

management.

We also added independent directors to the boards of Borea

Construction and ITC Construction Group.

The ESG Advisory Committee continued to guide the integration

of our ESG strategy into our operations, from coast to coast.

A new target for better

representation

We’re doing everything we can to make sure that our

organization is representative of the society we live in. We

want to increase the number of women on the Board of

Directors so that they represent at least 33% of independent

members by 2024.
