Governance
At the heart of CIBC’s governance structure is an experienced, independent Board of Directors committed to upholding strong governance principles, creating a culture of openness and transparency and leading in governance best practices.

 


 

Governance
Sustaining excellence in governance with an integrated framework
CIBC believes that embracing strong governance is the foundation to delivering against its strategic imperative of consistent and sustainable performance over the long term. The Board employs a comprehensive, integrated governance framework as the basis for its oversight responsibilities of the management of the business and affairs of CIBC. This framework includes a capable and qualified Board of Directors with diverse backgrounds and skills; a collaborative and constructive relationship between the Board and senior management; and a robust set of governance and control policies and procedures.
     The following diagram provides an overview of CIBC’s integrated governance structure:
(BOARD OF DIRECTORS CHART)
The framework guides the Board and management in fulfilling their obligations to CIBC and its stakeholders. The Board continually reviews the effectiveness of the governance structure and is committed to evolving that structure to ensure it serves as the keystone for sustaining excellence in governance in the future.
Continually evolving governance practices to remain at forefront
As part of its ongoing review, the Board regularly assesses and enhances its governance practices and principles to confirm that we continue to meet regulatory requirements and any new developments in regulations, and that we remain at the forefront of governance best practices. In the spirit of openness and transparency, CIBC posts these practices and principles on our corporate website at www.cibc.com.
     The Statement of Corporate Governance Practices describes our comprehensive governance framework, states CIBC’s vision and details the Board’s responsibilities. This document describes the Board’s policy on Board composition, director nomination and tenure, Board independence and education, as well as director and executive compensation and management succession.
     The Board and management of CIBC recognize the importance of consistent and timely communication with CIBC’s stakeholders. The CIBC Disclosure Policy explains CIBC’s disclosure philosophy and practices for disclosing material information to the market and outlines roles and responsibilities of various individuals and groups at CIBC relating to the release of material information. The Policy is intended to minimize the risk of unauthorized, inconsistent or selective disclosure.
Fostering a culture of integrity and personal accountability
In accordance with our commitment to nurture a governance culture of integrity and personal accountability, CIBC has policies on personal conduct for directors, employees and contractors intended to foster a strong ethical culture and to protect our clients, our employees and CIBC.
     The CIBC Code of Ethics for Directors applies to all members of CIBC’s Board of Directors. The principles in this Code require a consistent and high standard of ethical conduct for all directors. The principles are intended to protect the business interests of CIBC, maintain CIBC’s reputation for integrity, and foster compliance with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. Directors are required to certify their compliance with the Code each year.
     The CIBC Code of Conduct promotes ethical decision-making for all employees and supports behaviour that is consistent with CIBC’s core values of trust, teamwork and accountability. All employees are required to complete annual certification and testing on the CIBC Code of Conduct to ensure they understand its requirements. The Board reviews and approves changes to this Code each year.
     All CIBC employees are encouraged to come forward with any concerns. In keeping with our commitment to open and honest communications, employees are expected to report any irregular business activity or behaviour that could place CIBC’s integrity or reputation at risk. Concerns can be reported in confidence and anonymity to any CIBC executive, director or through the confidential CIBC Ethics Hotline. Employees who report suspected contraventions in good faith are protected from retaliation or adverse employment action.

 


 

Meeting and exceeding compliance requirements
As a Canadian public company with securities listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), CIBC has in place a system of corporate governance practices that meets or exceeds all applicable Canadian requirements. CIBC voluntarily complies with many of the NYSE’s governance rules. Some of those rules, with which CIBC does not voluntarily comply, are different from those that apply to CIBC in Canada. A summary of these differences is available on our corporate website at www.cibc.com.
Committed to ongoing Board renewal
We recognize the importance of having a complement of Board skills, experience and competencies. Using our competency matrix, we assess annually the individual skills and contributions of each director to ensure the Board has the appropriate balance of qualifications and skills to effectively address CIBC’s evolving needs.
Supported by an effective committee structure
The CIBC Board of Directors has worked hard to align its governance and risk management philosophies and structure to support our broader long-term strategic imperative of consistent and sustainable performance over the long term.
     As part of its overall responsibilities, the Board has established four committees to assist in carrying out its duties and to enhance governance. Each committee has a mandate outlining its functions and responsibilities. Management committees are in place to support the senior executive team on the governance and control activities of CIBC and various aspects of the oversight of CIBC’s operations. Below is a list of these committees and a brief summary of the key responsibilities of the committee members.
