CDPQ Governance
We adhere to strict governance rules. Integrity and accountability are at the core of all of our activities. As active and committed shareholders, we ask companies in our investment portfolio to do the same.
Distinct decision-making bodies
CDPQ’s activities are governed by its Board of Directors and its Executive Committee. These decision-making bodies are made up of experienced, international calibre managers with wide-ranging expertise.
We expect them all to act with professionalism, accountability and rigour to implement strategies and action plans so we can carry out our mission, namely, to generate optimal returns for our depositors while contributing to Québec’s economic development.
