SaskEnergy Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy

3.3 Information Technology & Social Media

Guidelines

What to Remember Employees are to be careful when drafting electronic messages, including email and text messages, as these communications are permanent business records. Messages can be forward or altered without knowledge and can damage the Company’s reputation.

Employees are to use information technology systems and assets (such as computers, mobile phones, tablets and IT networks) responsibly and in accordance with company policies and practices. This includes using them for legitimate business purposes and requires that employees take adequate precautionary steps to protect against potential cyber risks. Employees are to never use these resources to perform illegal or unethical activities. Social Media Social media includes websites, networking and online tools that allow users to interact with each other in diverse ways — by instantly sharing information, opinions, knowledge and interests. Employees must maintain constant awareness that online activities may reflect on the Company. Employees should never engage in social media activities that could harm the reputation of the Company. Employees are to communicate with integrity and respect and ensure their comments are business appropriate. Employees are to let people know that their views are their own and not those of SaskEnergy.

What You ShouldKnow

The Company reserves the right to monitor its system, including blocking access to inappropriate websites and intercepting any messages or files transmitted by or stored in their systems. While occasional personal use of SaskEnergy information technology systems and assets is permissible, use of the assets must not cause significant added cost to SaskEnergy and/or interfere with work-related duties and responsibilities.
