ESG Priority Topics & Index - Husky Energy ESG Report 2019

Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics are those which, in the view of management, affect Husky’s performance and long-term sustainability and/or inform investor assessments and decisions about us.

Our ESG assessment process includes internal interviews and considers information from investors, analysts and community members to determine our top ESG topics. These are prioritized by management and senior executives and approved by our ESG Steering Committee and Executive Health, Safety and Environment Committee. In 2018 we evaluated existing and emerging issues to confirm 12 priority topics, and in 2019 determined our priorities were best aligned and managed under nine topics. We combined occupational health and safety, asset integrity and reliability, and emergency preparedness and response into one topic, now called Safety & Operations Integrity. Energy use is managed within the topics of innovation and advanced technology given the opportunity to use innovation to drive improvements, business resilience given the direct link between energy use and costs, and air emissions management given the relationship between energy use and air emissions, including greenhouse gases.

Throughout this report you will find information on our programs supporting each of these priority topics, as well as information on our performance. Our performance data table provides quantitative information and is aligned with the voluntary sustainability reporting guidance developed by IPIECA, the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) and the American Petroleum Institute (API).
