Contracts and Due Diligence Processes
SaskEnergy supports combating modern slavery. We prioritize early detection and prevention of potential issues as integral components of our supply chain due diligence process .
Our standard procurement templates and contracts are being reviewed and updated to include supplier representations and warranties declaring no forced labour and exploitation of children was used to supply goods or services to SaskEnergy. We are also consi dering a requirement that SaskEnergy be notified of any actual or suspected instances of forced or child labour within the supply chain relevant to our contracts.
