Director Orientation and Continuing Education As part of the Board of Director’s orientation program, upon their appointment, each new Director reviews copies of:
- business plan and implementation strategy;
- annual disclosure documents;
- minutes of the Board and Committee meetings for the past year;
- Corporate Governance Handbook
- Code of Business Conduct
Each new Director has one-on-one sessions with each of the business unit leaders. As required, the Company arranges a mentor for every new Director to help them learn about the Company’s operations.
Petro-Canada encourages all Directors to take advantage of continuing education programs. The Company supports Directors through a cost-sharing arrangement or by paying all reasonable expenses. Petro-Canada also provides a number of in-house education sessions, such as tours of the Company’s facilities and technical paper presentations. Also at each meeting, the Board is provided with an update from a selected business unit. All Directors are provided with agendas for all Committee meetings and may attend any Committee meetings, whether or not they are a Committee member.
