Active asset management is a hallmark of Borealis Infrastructure's investment style and strong corporate governance is critical to the effectiveness of this approach. Borealis believes that active asset management is the key to managing its portfolio of infrastructure assets to mitigate risk and maximize long term returns for its sponsor, the OMERS Pension Plan. Borealis holds board of director positions in each of its investments and, through participation at the board and through the diligent exercise of shareholder rights, Borealis actively monitors operational and financial performance of its investments and provides strategic oversight. All Borealis employees at the vice-president level and above are strongly encouraged to become Chartered Directors to develop and hone the skills and expertise required for long term investing. The presentation of the 2012 Gil Bennett Award to Reena Sagoo is a clear testament to Reena's achievements and to the importance that Borealis places on corporate governance.
