As a Crown corporation, JCCBI recognizes the importance of sound governance, effective risk management, and ethical business practices in all its activities.
The Corporation therefore pays close attention to risk management, accountability, ethical conduct, and sustainable procurement throughout its operations.
JCCBI’s 2020-2023 sustainable development plan was created in line with the orientations of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy and the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.
An internal Sustainable Development Committee of senior administrators and managers meets regularly to ensure the sustainable development plan is being implemented.
