Revolve Announces ESG & Corporate Governance Strategy and Changes to its Non-Executive Directors

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2023 / Revolve Renewable Power Corp. (TSXV:REVV)(OTCQB:REVVF) ("Revolve" or the "Company"), a North American owner, operator and developer of renewable energy projects is pleased to announce an outline of the Company's Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") strategy including proposed changes to the Company's board of directors.

ESG Policy and Reporting

As a developer and operator of renewable energy projects, the Company is playing an important role in the transition to "Net Zero" in the key markets it operates in.

The Company is committed to formalizing its corporate sustainability strategy and priorities and intends on commencing a formal process to complete its first ESG report. The work involved in the preparation of this report will guide Revolve's ESG efforts in the areas that are most important to the business and stakeholders in the years to come as we continue to expand the Company's activities and operational base.

Revolve intends to appoint a third party advisory firm to assist with a stakeholder outreach program, which will be used to gather information and data required in order to prepare and complete the ESG report.

The final ESG report is expected to be finalized in H1 2024 and will be made available on the Company's website (www.revolve-renewablepower.com) once completed.

Corporate Governance Strategy

As the Company continues to implement its strategy towards becoming a large developer and operator of renewable energy projects, a transition of our corporate governance structures will also be required. This transition is intended to continue to build on the skills, knowledge and experience of the Board while considering the strategic needs of the Company as it grows its operational asset base in the months and years ahead.

In this regard the Board has agreed to a corporate governance plan that will see the Company (i) reduce the number of directors from eight currently to seven directors consisting of two executive directors and five non-executive directors and (ii) adopt a succession and renewal plan regarding the existing non-executive directors, which will target the addition of a number of new non-executive directors over the next two years.

This succession and renewal plan will focus on building the diversity of the Board as well as adding non-executive directors with further experience in the renewable energy market in North America.

Following adoption of this plan, the Board has been informed by Mr. Finn Lyden that he has decided to step down as a non-executive director of the Company and will be resigning on November 8, 2023.

Steve Dalton, CEO commented "Finn was a key investor and board member of the Company and has been a strong supporter of the management team for over 10 years. He has provided invaluable advice and guidance to the Board and his insights and industry experience have been instrumental particularly as the Company completed its move to being a public company. I would like to thank him personally, and on behalf of the Board for his support and contribution to Revolve."

In addition to this change, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Susan Shaw (P. Eng) to the Board as a non-executive director. Susan has over 40 years of experience in energy, including nuclear power, waste-to-energy and district energy, but has focused the last 20 years on renewable power in the Canadian market. Across these energy specialties, her roles included business development, construction and project management, engineering and operations, and executive positions with profit /loss responsibility. Susan is a graduate of Georgia Tech and was the first woman licensed in the US as a Waste-to-energy plant operator.

She led the Canadian District Energy Association for several years and is a founding director of an Ontario renewable energy co-op. Susan currently teaches renewable energy courses at Fanshawe College.

Steve Dalton, CEO said "On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Susan to Revolve. Susan brings a wealth of experience and a long track record in the Canadian renewable energy market, which will benefit the Company greatly as we continue to build our Canadian operations and deliver our overall strategy."

Following these changes, Mr. JP Maguire, will replace Mr. Finn Lyden as a member of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee.
