Boralex unveils new management model: A consolidated management team and geographic business units to support Boralex's growth
28 Octubre 2022 - 6:00AM
Boralex Inc. (“Boralex” or the “Company”) (TSX: BLX) is pleased to
present a new management model, aiming to increase agility in key
markets and a fast-growing environment. The Company is also
announcing new appointments in its Executive Committee to support
its 2025 Strategic Plan’s ambitious goals.
Boralex is adopting a geographic management
model. The Company is establishing a business unit in North
America, in addition to the existing one in Europe, now officially
helmed by an Executive Vice President and General Manager, Europe.
The regional business units will consolidate operations in organic
development, public affairs, human resources, construction, asset
management, operational finance and accounting, energy sales, as
well as local mergers and acquisitions. This is a natural evolution
for Boralex, whose past success is based on its close
collaborations within its areas of operations, as well as its
detailed understanding of market specifics and its agility in
seizing business opportunities.
At the corporate level, Boralex is adding a
Senior Vice President, Enterprise Risk Management and Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) to its Executive Committee. This role
will focus on risk exposure monitoring in the changing and
increasingly complex energy environment. It demonstrates Boralex’s
willingness to seize business opportunities with even more
confidence and resilience, and will ensure the implementation of
Boralex’s overall CSR strategy.
The Company is also adding a Senior Vice
President, Corporate Strategy & Business Performance to its
Executive Committee. This role aims to execute the business
strategy in a timelier manner and continue Boralex’s strong
reputation as it regionalizes its business model. This new role
will also focus on managing Boralex’s overall performance.
“It’s important for Boralex to be able to rely
on a rigorous and agile management model to ensure that our
strategic objectives are met, and to seize growing opportunities in
the renewable energy sector. These changes will enable us to be
more proactive with and closer to our regional markets’ specific
realities. We will also be able to make quicker informed decisions,
build on our competitive strengths, act on best opportunities, and
make the best possible contribution to the ongoing energy
transition,” said Patrick Decostre, Boralex’s President and
CEO.
