9 BOARD CONFLICT OF INTEREST Section Manual Policy and Procedure-Governance Board Conflict of Interest Board of Directors CKH-G-2 March 18, 2014 Purpose: All Directors have a duty to ensure that the trust and confidence of the public in the integrity of the decision-making processes of the Board are maintained by ensuring that they and other members of the Board are free from conflict or potential conflict in their decision-making. It is important that all Directors understand their obligations when a conflict of interest or potential conflicting interests arises. Policy: Directors and non-board committee members avoid situations in which they may be in a position of conflict of interest. The by-laws contain provisions with respect to conflict of interest that must be strictly adhered to. In addition to the By-laws, the process set out in this policy shall be followed when a conflict or potential conflict arises. A conflict of interest exists in any situation where Directors and committee members ability to fulfill their official duties and responsibilities could be adversely affected by their private interests or personal considerations. This goes beyond a financial or economic interest to include any personal interest that arises from business dealings, social ties, or other personal considerations. Description of Conflict of Interest The situations in which potential conflict of interest may arise cannot be exhaustively set out but some general examples are included below. Conflicts generally arise in the following situations: 1. Interest of a Director Wearing Two Hats When a director transacts with the corporation directly or indirectly. When a director has a significant direct or indirect interest in a transaction or contract with the corporation. Failing to disclose is an offence under the Corporations Act, resulting in liability being imposed on the director for any profit realized from the contract and a penalty on conviction. 2. Interest of a Relative When the corporation conducts business with suppliers of goods or services or any other party of which a relative or member of the household of a director is a principal, officer or representative. 3. Gifts When a director or a member of the director s household or any other person or entity designated by the director, accepts gifts, payments, services CHATHAM KENT HOSPICE BOARD CONFLICT OF INTEREST 1 of 3

10 BOARD CONFLICT OF INTEREST Section Manual Policy and Procedure-Governance Board Conflict of Interest Board of Directors CKH-G-2 March 18, 2014 or anything else of more than a token or nominal value from a party with whom the corporation may transact business (including a supplier of goods or services) for the purposes of (or that may be perceived to be for the purposes of) influencing an act or decision of the Board. 4. Acting for an Improper Purpose When directors exercise their powers motivated by self-interest or other improper purposes. Directors must act solely in the best interest of the corporation. Directors who are nominees of a particular group must act in the best interest of the corporation even if this conflicts with the interests of the nominating party. 5. Appropriation of Corporate Opportunity When a director diverts to his or her own use an opportunity or advantage that belongs to the corporation. Procedure: Directors and their businesses are allowed to supply services, products and enter into contracts with the CK Hospice provided they closely follow the following process. The purpose of the process is to eliminate any real or perceived conflict of interest, or unfair advantage that the hospice directors might have over the general public. The effect of such an unfair advantage would be to damage the reputation of the CK Hospice or its leadership. The Process: The Director will declare his / her interest at the first meeting of the Directors after which he /she became interested; (a) Request that his/her declaration be recorded in the minutes of that meeting; (b) Not participate in the consideration of the issue; and (c) Not vote on any resolution concerning conflict with the proposed business If there is a disagreement about whether a conflict of interest exists, the matter shall be decided by the presiding chairperson, subject to challenge by a majority vote of the remaining Directors present at the meeting. The Director who is the subject of the issue shall not vote on any appeal of the chairperson s decision. Process for Resolution of Conflicts and Addressing Breaches of Duty CHATHAM KENT HOSPICE BOARD CONFLICT OF INTEREST 2 of 3

11 BOARD CONFLICT OF INTEREST Section Policy and Procedure-Governance Board Conflict of Interest Manual Board of Directors CKH-G-2 March 18, 2014 All Directors shall comply with the requirements of the by-laws. It is acknowledged that not all conflicts or potential conflicts may be satisfactorily resolved by strict compliance with the by-laws. There may be cases where the perception of a conflict or interest or breach of duty may be harmful to the corporation not withstanding that there has been compliance with the by-laws. A director may be referred to the process outlined below in any of the following circumstances: 1. Circumstances for Referral Where any Director believes that that Director or another Director: (a) Has breached his or her duties to the corporation; (b) Is in a position where there is a potential breach of duty to the corporation; (c) Is in a situation of actual or potential conflict of interest; or, (d) Has behaved or is likely to behave in a manner that is not consistent with the highest standards of public trust and integrity and such behavior may have an adverse impact on the corporation. 2. Process for Resolution The matter shall be referred to the following process: (a) Refer matter to the Chair or where the issue may involve the Chair, to any Vice-Chair, with notice to the Chief Executive Officer. (b) Chair (or Vice-Chair as the case may be) may either (i) attempt to resolve the matter informally, or (ii) refer the matter to an ad hoc subcommittee of the Board established by the Chair in which the subcommittee shall report to the Board. (c) If the matter cannot be informally resolved to the satisfaction of the Chair (or Vice-Chair as the case may be), the Director referring the matter and the Director involved, then the Chair shall refer the matter to the process in (b)(ii) above.

12 BOARD CONFIDENTIALITY Section Policies and Procedures-Governance Board Confidentiality Manual Board of Directors CKH-G-1 March 18, 2014 Purpose: To ensure that confidential matters are not disclosed until disclosure is authorized by the Board. Policy: The Directors owe to Chatham Kent Hospice a duty of confidence not to disclose or discuss with another person or entity, confidential information concerning the business and affairs of Chatham Kent Hospice received in their capacity as Directors unless otherwise authorized by the Board. In addition; CK Hospice Directors owe to St. Andrew s Residence and affiliates (Adelaide Non Profit Housing Community, St. Andrew s Residence, Chatham Foundation and St. Andrew s Terrace Life Lease Residence Inc.), not to disclose or discuss confidential information about St Andrew's Residence and it's affiliate which is shared with the Chatham Kent Hospice Board. Procedure: We often receive or have access to confidential, private and sensitive client information and information related to the financial and business operations of Chatham Kent Hospice. Directors must follow the commitment to confidentiality. Each Director signs an oath of confidentiality that remains in effect even upon leaving as a volunteer. This is demonstrated by: Avoiding discussion of confidential client matters in places where people who do not have a valid need to know such information may overhear you. Ensuring that documents containing confidential client information are maintained in a manner that persons who do not have a need to know the content of such documents cannot see or access them. Ensuring that an individual s computer IDs and passwords are not given to any other person. Information discussed at Board Meetings remains confidential unless otherwise specified.
