The Investment Management Corporation of Ontario (IMCO) has announced that it has become a member of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance (CCGG). As a leading corporate governance organization, CCGG represents the interests of institutional investors, including pension funds, mutual funds and asset managers. By joining CCGG, IMCO is supporting direct engagement with Canadian public companies and the public policy submissions, guidance and research produced by the organization.

“Strong corporate governance is a fundamental part of our values and investment beliefs,” said Bert Clark, President and CEO of IMCO. “We are proud to be a CCGG member and look forward to working with our peers to act as role models and promote the highest standards of governance within Canada.”

Participation involves working with companies and policy makers to ensure that Canadian public companies are adopting governance practices and a regulatory framework that meet or exceed global best practices. Together with other leading pension funds and asset managers, IMCO will be helping to improve the regulatory environment to best align the interests of boards with those of their shareholders, and to promote the efficiency of Canadian capital markets.
