By using a principle- based decision-making approach, BCCMB strives to achieve effective governance of our industry. We often refer to six principles of principle-based decision making collectively under the acronym “SAFETI”:
Strategic – Identify key opportunities and systemic challenges, and plan for actions to effectively manage risks and take advantage of future opportunities.
Accountable – Maintain legitimacy and integrity through understanding and discharging responsibilities and reporting performance.
Fair – Ensure procedural fairness in processes and decision making.
Effective – A clearly defined outcome with appropriate processes and measures.
Transparent – Ensure that processes, practices, procedures & reporting on exercise of mandate are open, accessible and fully informed.
Inclusive – Ensure that appropriate interests, including the public interest, are included.
