This policy will include: 1. The review of the Board’s skills matrix to explicitly include key areas such as: • Climate and sustainability; • Social and racial equity; • Relations with Indigenous people; • Ethics of artificial intelligence; • Community impact and responsible investment. 2. A commitment to actively consider candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, including community, academic, Indigenous or technological backgrounds, provided these individuals have relevant strategic or societal expertise. 3. The annual publication, in the proxy circular, of a transparent report on the diversity of expertise represented on the Board, and on the progress made in this area. The boards of directors of financial institutions operate in an environment where corporate governance issues are rapidly becoming more complex. Issues related to technology, climate risks, social equity, Indigenous rights and business ethics demand diversified and up-to-date expertise. However, demographic diversity alone, while essential, is not enough. It is imperative to broaden the range of skills represented on the board to ensure: • Better quality deliberations and strategic decisions; • More accurate anticipation of emerging risks; • Strengthened social legitimacy and credibility of the organization; • Ability to meet the growing expectations of investors and society. Actively integrating profiles from non-traditional backgrounds, particularly from community, Indigenous, academic, or technological circles, enriches collective thinking and better positions the organization to face the challenges of today and tomorrow. Finally, the publication of transparent information on the diversity of expertise contributes to accountability and stakeholder confidence.
