Corporate governance and environmental and social responsibility are significant issues for bcIMC’s clients. In fact, several of our clients
have established responsible investing policies for assets managed on their behalf by bcIMC. In addition to meeting client expectations, we
focus on responsible investing for the following reasons:
Promoting strong corporate governance practices in our clients’ publicly traded companies has been part of bcIMC’s investment activities for a
number of years. We understand that if companies are well-governed, they will generally outperform other companies and can attract investors
whose support can help to finance further growth. On the other hand, poor corporate governance policies weaken a company’s potential and at
worst, can pave the way for financial difficulties and even fraud.

More recently, bcIMC has started to actively monitor and encourage companies to implement responsible environmental and social practices/policies.
This is based on the belief that if companies are aware of and responsive to the environmental and social impacts of their operations
(i.e., manage these issues to at least industry/global business standards), they can reduce risk to long-term profitability. On the other hand,
poor environmental and social policies can damage a company’s reputation and long-term financial performance.
