CDC is a plc whose sole shareholder is the Department for International Development (DfID). We have an independent Board bringing professional development and private sector investment expertise to the company.
The government has no involvement in CDC’s day-to-day decision making which is carried out by the CDC Board of executive and non-executive directors based in London.
Our shareholder, DfID, does not require a dividend from CDC. Instead, all profits are re-invested in funds throughout our target emerging markets. CDC has received no government capital for 14 years.
