STEPS TAKEN TO ADDRESS MODERN SLAVERY RISKS

We understand that getting suppliers to recognize their potential links to modern slavery in their supply chains is an important initial step in combating modern slavery.

VendorSight Survey

SaskEnergy’s inaugural VendorSight Supplier Survey was conducted in 2023/24 , intended to promote dialogue between SaskEnergy and our suppliers. The survey focuses on how our suppliers perceive SaskEnergy as a customer and enables suppliers to provide feedback on targeted issues in relation to SaskEnergy’s procurement and contracting performances across multiple supplier relationship competencies. The results are used to inform our future sourcing strategies and continuous improvement effort s. The next surve y is targeted for Q4 2024/25.

Supplier Performance Management Program

Through SaskEnergy’s Supplier Performance Management Program, contract administrators can proactively manage suppliers and associated performance matters, to ensure suppliers conform to SaskEnergy’s performance requirements and ethical standards. If SaskEnergy becomes aware and reasonably believes that a supplier, subcontractor, or any party for whom they are responsible is violating applicable laws or SaskEnergy policies, we reserve the right to escalate the matter with the party. This may include provision of a formal notice under a contract, reporting the matter to applicable regulators, and possibly taking investigative steps. If the supplier does not take corrective action in accordance with the terms of the notice, we may decide to exercise legal rights to terminate any existing contracts and their inaction may also impact their ability to secure future SaskEnergy work.

Avenues for Whistleblower s

SaskEnergy is committed to integrity and accountability in its supplier relationships. If an employee suspects wrongdoing either internally or of an external supplier , they can file a report using the processes described in The Public Interest Disclosure Act , or through the anonymous reporting process provided through SaskEnergy’s Whistleblower Policy.
