Corporate Governance

Management, Shareholders and the Board Working Together

Corporate Governance is the interaction of the management, shareholders and board of directors to help ensure that all investors — both shareholders and creditors — are protected against managers acting solely in their own best interest. Corporate Governance consists of laws, policies, procedures and, most importantly, practices that ensure the well-being of the assets of the company. Corporate Governance is at its highest levels when management is acting as if they are long-term investors in the company.

The policies, procedures and practices spelled out in this Web site demonstrate that Oceana takes Corporate Governance very seriously. It is not hard for their management to act as long-term investors of the company because they, like most Oceana employees at all levels, are in fact long-term investors.
