“Corporate governance and management best practices: these are mission-critical ingredients for survival in our complex cannabis industry.” – Mark Stermer

Considering the recent allegations of misconduct surrounding CannTrust Holdings Inc., it is interesting to note that the former CEO had longstanding concerns over how the business was running at the leadership and board levels. As suggested in the BNN Bloomberg piece, the cannabis sector is regulated and regularly monitored so corporate governance and compliance are imperatives. This is accentuated by the ever-changing and evolving regulatory framework. At NAVAYA I am personally committed to instill corporate discipline, governance and process. It is the foundation on which my previous business, MAS Industries, grew and thrived. I am proud to be able to work with an experienced team of leaders and board members that shares our commitment to becoming one of Canada’s leading and trusted cannabis organizations. It is important to note that two of NAVAYA’s values are (1) Value the contributions and capabilities of employees, stakeholder and constituencies and (2) to provide products with the highest regard to consumer and employee safety. Only in this way can we build a business that enjoys solid foundations and the promise of a bright future.
