Governance: For a structure in line with our ambitions
Governance is a complex notion that touches on the general structure of an organization and the measures it adopts to reach its objectives. The Hydro-Québec Act puts forth the various requirements the company must meet in terms of how it is run.
Transparency is a vital component that must remain at the very heart of corporate governance. In the interests of transparency, Hydro-Québec makes publicly available information regarding its Board of Directors, management team, subsidiaries, ethical practices, acts, regulations, policies and codes of conduct.
