ROGERS GOOD GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
“ Over the years, the Canadian economy has benefited greatly from family-
founded and controlled companies that are able to take a longer-term view
of investment horizons and general business management. At Rogers, we have
successfully overlaid disciplined corporate governance processes that strike
a healthy balance of being supportive of the company’s continued success,
making business sense, and benefiting all shareholders.”
ALAN D. HORN, , 
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC.
“ Rogers has long benefited from strong, independent voices and Directors
in the boardroom and sound governance structures, which ensure that their
influence is real. The structure of our Board is very much intended to ensure that
the Directors and management act in the interests of all Rogers shareholders –
an approach that has helped ensure the continuance of strong, independent,
family-founded Canadian companies.”
