2025-26 Statement of Corporate Governance Practices

Strategic Planning and Reporting One of the Board’s principal duties is to provide leadership in setting the long-range strategic direction for the Corporation. This comprehensive strategic planning process results in the Board’s review and approval of SaskEnergy’s Corporate Plan and annual operating and capital budgets. The current Corporate Plan, updated annually, focuses on the ensuing three (3) years, as a living document. This allows SaskEnergy to adjust the plan, as the current operating environment evolves quickly. The Board, together with Executive management, identifies and sets long-term goals for SaskEnergy through the corporate planning process. SaskEnergy’s Corporate Plan sets the Corporation’s path for the next three years and outlines what is important to the Corporation, what it wants to achieve and what it needs to focus on to be successful. The Board oversees the process of plan development, providing input, guidance, validation, support, oversight and critical evaluation of the Corporate Plan and its initiatives. The Board measures management’s success against the Corporate Plan. Each year, the Board and senior management meet jointly to identify strategic risks and review strategies and measurable targets to gauge performance in managing those risks. Every year, a companywide email from the CEO is distributed to employees, providing electronic copies of the Corporate Plan and a Strategy Map reference tool. These items are also available to employees on SaskEnergy’s intranet. As a result, all employees can review SaskEnergy’s Community Aspiration, Vision, Mission, Values, Strategic Imperatives, Operating Environment, Enterprise Risk Management, Strategy (including SaskEnergy’s Balanced Scorecard), Financial Overview and Saskatchewan Crown Sector Strategic Priorities.

The Committee also sets the CEO’s performance goals and objectives and conducts a semi- annual assessment of the CEO’s performance through the Committee Chair and Board Chair. The Committee reports to the Board on the CEO evaluations and any recommended changes to the CEO’s compensation. The Committee also makes recommendations to the Board on employee and executive compensation, including metrics and targets to be utilized. It receives direction on its Terms of Reference — both in and out of scope — through communication with CIC. An ad hoc Board Committee can be created to identify and recommend candidates for the CEO position. The Committee oversees that the incumbent fulfills the role set out in the CEO mandate. The Human Resources and Safety Committee had four (4) meetings this fiscal year. Important issues included: management and executive compensation plans; succession planning updates; relationship with the union; review of health and safety performance indicators, business continuity and emergency response; representative workforce updates; annual work plan status updates; key policies reviews; and compliance with legislation updates.
