Corporate Governance

A resourceful leader

Good corporate governance is critical in ensuring shareholder value. AbitibiBowater's governance practices are the result of a blend of the best practices at Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater, and they stem from both companies' emphasis on integrity and ethical conduct. Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater both have reputations for honesty fairness, and mutual respect in all business dealings. Now, as AbitibiBowater, we aim to strengthen that reputation. At AbitibiBowater, compliance with the law is a given, and our aspirations are considerably higher.

The governance documents contained here are just a few examples of how AbitibiBowater communicates and reinforces its culture of integrity and ethical conduct. We trust that you will see this culture reflected in the actions of our directors and employees worldwide, as well as in our documents.
