Managing and Acting Responsibly
Conducting our affairs ethically and with integrity. Contributing to economic well-being. Providing what is important to employees: fairness, equality, diversity and opportunity. Encouraging environmental stewardship and partnering for healthy, resilient communities. That’s how we practice corporate responsibility at BMO. Why we do so is clear too. By being responsible to all whose lives are touched by our business, we ultimately do what’s in the best interests of our customers, employees, shareholders and communities.
In the following pages, we discuss three areas of corporate responsibility – employees, community and environment – that are of particular relevance to our stakeholders and our company. For a broader account of our corporate responsibility strategy and activities, please refer to our 2007 Corporate Responsibility Report and Public Accountability Statement, to be released in February 2008.
