As the first Group Head of Business Conduct and Compliance for BAT, Caroline led the design and implementation of BAT’s global compliance and ethics programme (BAT operates in more than 150 jurisdictions across the world). Caroline is also experienced in managing strategic litigation and regulatory investigations. She was awarded the Advocatus Emeritus (Ad.E) recognition by the Quebec Bar in 2014. Previously, she chaired the Board of Directors of the Quebec Branch of the Canadian Bar Association, and of the Centre d’accès à l’information juridique. She was also a Director of other Boards, such as the Fondation Marie-Vincent, the Barreau du Québec and the Barreau de Montréal. Ms. Ferland is a Chartered Director (C.Dir) and recognized Administrateur de sociétés certifié (ASC). Caroline holds a BA in Economics from Université de Sherbrooke, as well as a B.C.L. and an LL.B Law from McGill University.
