Sought profiles
Directors play an essential role in the development and sustainability of CRCD. In addition to their personal obligations and responsibilities, they must possess, individually or collectively, several skills related to CRCD's business sectors.
Given the importance of the position, the board of firectors considers that it has the responsibility to identify candidates who can make a significant contribution to the achievement of CRCD's mission and strategic objectives, while ensuring broad mix of expertise, experiences, skills and genders as well as regional representation on the board of directors.
Recommendation of three candidates
The Governance and Human Resources Committee reviews elligible nomination requests and recommends to CRCD three nominees for whom to vote proxies that contain no shareholder voting instructions.
Given the scope of the function and the rules of governance specific to CRCD, candidates for election must detail their skills and experience in their form in order to allow shareholders and the board of directors to assess their candidacy.
When identifying these candidates, the collective profile targeted to promote a diversified composition of the board of directors will be taken into consideration.
