Governance
Good governance is good for business
Governance is how we make and implement decisions. At Pembina, strong governance starts at the Board level and is felt throughout our operations.
Pembina’s Board of Directors provides guidance to Pembina’s executive team, sets corporate policy and ensures Pembina maintains regulatory requirements and ethical business practices.
The Board meets a minimum of four times each year.
Additional details on our approach to governance, with a focus on sustainability, can be found in our sustainability section.
