Governance

The power to lead

As Canada's largest investor-owned power producer and wholesale marketer - and the provider of an essential service - we're accountable to a large and diverse group of stakeholders. That includes shareholders and those impacted by our operations, not to mention millions who depend on us for their electrical power.

Established and well-respected governance practices help us manage these responsibilities. It's the duty of our Board of Directors to ensure these practices are followed.

Our efforts haven't gone unnoticed

We've been:

• Named one of the best-governed corporations in Canada for seven consecutive years and the number one company in the utility sector in 2008 by the Globe and Mail 
• Recognized by the Conference Board of Canada for our approach to "enterprise risk management" – a key governance practice – winning the Spencer Stuart/Conference Board of Canada 2008 National Award in Governance
• Acknowledged for our governance efforts by the Clarkson Centre for Business Ethics and Board Effectiveness

Each Board member is fully engaged in establishing strategy and understanding risk. As a group, they have the skills and experience necessary to proactively coach and challenge senior management in all areas of our operation.

Further, our approach to good governance and the practices that support them are clearly and publicly stated. You will find this information on the pages within this section.
