Description of process
Owners of risks identified on Husky's Enterprise Risk Matrix review the risks regularly. Risk owners are Vice President level or above. Updates on Husky's Enterprise Risk Matrix are provided quarterly to the Audit Committee of the Board, and (for HS&E risks), semi-annually to the Health, Safety and Environment Committee of the Board, and annually to the Board of Directors. Husky's evaluation of climate-related risks considers both physical and transition risk. Risks are evaluated using Husky's Enterprise Risk Matrix, based on likelihood and severity of the risk. Severity of risk includes whether a given risk may have a substantive financial impact, i.e. more than $10 million.
Mitigations for each risk are identified and updates on implementation of those mitigations are provided as part of the regular risk review. For example, a low carbon transition may imply increasing carbon costs to Husky. This risk is evaluated annually based on the use of sensitivity analysis for carbon pricing in Husky's long-range plan. As a mitigation, an update on this analysis is provided at least annually to senior management, including options to reduce carbon costs over the short to medium term.

(C2.2a) Which risk types are considered in your organization's climate-related risk assessments?
Relevance | Please explain | |
& | ||
inclusion | ||
Current | Relevant, | Husky's GHG management framework includes an Environmental Performance Reporting System (EPRS) for inventory, quantification, reporting and verification of GHG emissions. The Air |
regulation | always | Team uses the outputs of EPRS to quantify and manage exposure to current regulatory risk. Husky includes carbon pricing in its long-range planning and budgeting cycle completed |
included | annually for subsequent years. For example, Husky facilities under federal or provincial government carbon pricing policies use pricing of $30/tonne in 2020, $40/tonne in 2021 and | |
$50/tonne in 2022 and beyond to forecast carbon compliance obligations. | ||
Emerging | Relevant, | The Air Team works with Corporate Strategy and Planning to incorporate carbon costs in the Company's Long-Range Plan (LRP). Facility production and energy use forecasts provided by |
regulation | always | business units are entered into jurisdiction-specific models to quantify, forecast and manage exposure to risks associated with emerging regulation from Canadian and U.S. governments, |
included | as well as provincial and state governments in jurisdictions where the Company operates. For example, Husky evaluates the cost impacts of emerging policies such as Provincial | |
Aggregate Facility models during the policy development phase and includes the best approximation of the impacts as part of the planning and budgeting process. By estimating its current | ||
and projected future emissions and understanding forthcoming regulations that may impact its business, the Company determines the areas of its operations that may face future | ||
compliance obligations or additional costs from regulation. Husky's Enterprise Risk Management program supports decision making via comprehensive and systematic identification and | ||
assessment of risks that could materially impact the results of the Company. It builds risk management and mitigation into strategic planning and operational processes for its business | ||
units. Husky has developed an Enterprise Risk Matrix to identify risks to its people, the environment, its assets and its reputation, and to systematically mitigate these risks to an | ||
acceptable level. | ||
Technology | Relevant, | Husky's GHG management framework includes a process for climate-related technology assessment, including new innovations that can reduce the Company's emissions intensity, and |
always | innovations that could disrupt Husky's business strategy. As new technologies are identified by subject matter experts across the Company, they are shared as appropriate, and are | |
included | incorporated into regular updates to the Executive Health, Safety and Environment Committee and business unit leadership. For example, since 2017 Husky has prepared a greenhouse | |
gas management plan for the Sunrise Energy Project that includes updates on various carbon policy and new technologies being considered to reduce GHG emissions. This is also | ||
reviewed with the joint-venture partner for alignment on this asset's greenhouse gas management strategy. | ||
Legal | Relevant, | Husky's Legal group monitors developments in climate-related litigation that could impact Husky's business. As potential risks are identified, Husky evaluates its exposure to similar risks, |
always | and adjusts corporate policies, strategies and/or practices as deemed appropriate. For example, Husky's review of U.S. litigation against energy companies related to their public disclosure | |
included | of climate-related risk informed its own public disclosure of climate-related risk. | |
Market | Relevant, | As climate-related risks associated with shifts in supply and demand for commodities are identified, they are evaluated and incorporated into regular reports to the Executive Health, Safety |
always | and Environment Committee and business unit leadership. For example, changes in lower-carbon and clean fuels regulations across Canada have the potential to change the market for | |
included | Husky's fuel products sold in its 553 (2019 average) retail locations in Canada. The Air, Downstream Regulatory and Government Relations groups supported Husky's assessment of | |
these market risks and ensured this knowledge was shared across the organization. | ||
Reputation | Relevant, | Performance and communication of performance determines a company's reputation, and the Corporate Affairs business unit leads understanding and helps manage issues that affect |
always | Husky reputation. Climate-related impacts to reputation, resulting from changing consumer, investor, government or community perceptions of Husky, or the broader Canadian energy | |
included | industry, are evaluated and strategies are developed and incorporated into reports to the Executive Committee. In 2019, Husky's CEO established a Climate Strike Force to manage and | |
communicate climate-related risk at Husky. The Climate Strike Force was chaired by the SVP Corporate Affairs and Human Resources. Climate-related impacts to reputation resulting from | ||
changing consumer or community perceptions of Husky, or the broader Canadian energy system context, were evaluated and strategies developed and incorporated into a report to the | ||
Executive Committee in September 2019. Climate Strike Force actions and activities include: portfolio scenario analysis, corporate target setting, and business unit carbon management | ||
plans have commenced under the direction of the Climate Strike Force. | ||
Acute | Relevant, | Event-driven, acute physical climate-related risks are identified as part of the hazardous operations planning process used by Husky. For example, Husky facilities such as well sites, |
physical | always | pipeline infrastructure or retail stations that are exposed to flood risk incorporate mitigation measures as part of the design and engineering process, as well as response measures into |
included | their emergency response plans. | |
Chronic | Relevant, | Climate-related risks from longer-term shifts in climate patterns are incorporated into operational risk assessments that influence production and facilities planning processes. For example, |
physical | always | Husky employs a water risk assessment process that identifies exposure to drought for facilities that require access to fresh-water supply for production operations. This risk assessment |
included | process has been incorporated into facility planning for thermal facilities relying on water from the North Saskatchewan River basin. | |

Company-specific description
Risk Description: Compliance costs associated with regulations of GHG emissions at Husky operations. Risk examples: Policies that put a price on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are in place across Canada. As of January 1, 2018, carbon pricing regulations have been enacted throughout Canada. Commonly referred to as "carbon pricing systems," the carbon pricing system varies between jurisdictions. An example of this policy: As of 2019, the federal Output-Based Pricing System applies in Manitoba, affecting Husky's Minnedosa ethanol plant. Prior to 2019, emissions costs were not applied to Husky's Minnedosa ethanol plant. The federal carbon policy has two key elements: a carbon levy applied to fossil fuels ($20 per tonne starting on April 1, 2019 and increasing by $10 annually to $50 per tonne in 2022), and an output-based pricing system for industrial facilities emitting GHG above 50,000 tonnes per year. Risk Effects: As costs increase, the risks associated with new developments are considered as part of the project's economics and integrated into long-range planning. Energy efficiency and new technology are evaluated and considered as part of the risk mitigation.

Explanation of financial impact figure
Husky makes carbon-related payments in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador. These payments totaled $19,112,300 in 2019. This figure was calculated by aggregating total costs from the Alberta fuel levy, Alberta Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation, British Columbia carbon fees upstream assets, Saskatchewan output-based performance standards, Newfoundland and Labrador Carbon Tax, Federal Fuel Levy and the Federal Output-Based Pricing System. The Company's current financial exposure to fees associated with carbon emissions is approximately 0.1% of Husky's 2019 gross revenue (including marketing and other income as listed in Husky's 2019 Annual Report). With increased regulation, there will be increased costs associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Husky incorporates costs of existing and pending regulations in its long-range plan to budget for carbon pricing impacts on an annual cycle and to inform internal stakeholders of future costs as well as mitigation opportunities.
Cost of response to risk
22600000
Description of response and explanation of cost calculation
Husky manages its exposure to uncertainty in new regulation through strategic investments that focus on positive return on investment (ROI), reduced operating costs and lower emissions intensity. Husky participates in direct and joint industry engagement with policy makers to stay abreast of emerging trends in regulation and advocate for regulatory certainty. During the past year, Husky has actively participated in the technical working groups for the development of aggregated facility programs for conventional oil and gas production in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Husky continues to engage the Saskatchewan government on their Methane Action Plan and on the development of the Technology Fund and Offset Frameworks to ensure emissions reduction targets set by the province are achieved. Husky continues to monitor international and domestic efforts to address climate change, including developments through the UN Conference of the Parties process and emerging regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Performance improvement may be achieved through technology. Husky invests in technology and participates in industry knowledge-sharing initiatives that will help it drive operational improvements. The total cost of implementation for emissions reduction initiatives implemented in 2019 as per the projects listed in C4.3b was $22.6 million.

Explanation of financial impact figure
The potential consequences of a severe weather or ice related event to Husky's offshore operations include possible production disruptions, spills, asset damage and human impacts. While this is mitigated through the methods described in this table, the potential production disruption from a two-month period of disconnection due to ice for the SeaRose Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel could result in $63,792,720 in reduced revenues. This estimate is based on 2019 average daily production numbers of 12,300 boe (net equity share) and 2019 average gross revenue per barrel of $86.44, as published in Husky's 2019 Annual Report. (12,300 boe x 60 days x $86.44/boe = $63,792,720).
Cost of response to risk

Description of response and explanation of cost calculation
Husky's Atlantic region business unit has an ice management program that uses a range of resources, including advanced detection, monitoring and management. Ice monitoring is facilitated through fixed-wing flight reconnaissance, satellite imagery processing and offshore supply vessel reconnaissance. Monitoring data is processed in georeferenced format and ice drift is predicted using established software developed by the National Research Council and the Canadian Ice Service. Supply vessels alter the trajectory of icebergs through various methods as needed. During ice season, Husky owned, operated and/or contracted offshore facilities are assigned ice observers, providing 24-hour coverage. Regular ice surveillance flights usually commence in February and continue throughout iceberg season. Husky maintains a series of ad-hoc relationships with contractors, providing for the quick mobilization of additional resources as required. The cost of the Company's ice monitoring and management activities was approximately $4.7 million in 2019.

Description of response and explanation of cost calculation
As regulations develop and markets for its products change, Husky continues to manage the risk using the enterprise risk management process. Through this process, Husky monitors emerging regulations, advises management and lead officers of any developments, and advocates the Company's position with the regulators. Additionally, Husky's Executive Health, Safety, and Environment Committee reviews and approves compliance and emission reduction strategies and allocates resources as appropriate. This includes allocating resources as appropriate to growth opportunities in natural gas, enhanced oil production using CO2, and ethanol-blended transportation fuels. Husky is currently reducing emissions through increased renewable fuel blending to address this risk. The use of this technology allows us to produce some of the lowest carbon intensity ethanol in Canada. Husky has integrated its Climate Change GHG Management Framework into daily business operations at a corporate-services level. There are no additional material costs to manage the risks described in this response at this time. If any of these risks are determined to be more pressing or impactful, a reassessment of management plans and costs will be performed.

Company-specific description
Risk Description: Where Husky has operations in flood-prone areas, extreme weather events can expose the Company to increased risk of disruption to operations. Risk
Effects: Flooding and extreme weather has the potential to disrupt operations in the field as well as at Husky's head office in Calgary. In June 2013, Calgary experienced a flood event that prevented access to the entire downtown core, including Husky's head office, for a week. In May of 2016, Husky shut down the Sunrise facility due to wildfires. The project was restarted in June. At the time, Sunrise was producing about 30,000 barrels gross per day of bitumen. Sunrise is 50% owned by JV partners, amounting to an approximate production loss net to Husky of 15,000 barrels per day during the outage.

CDP | Page | 8 | of 65 |
Husky has a number of CO2 sources where it may be feasible to capture emissions. These sources include ethanol plants, hydrogen plants and other post-combustion sources. There is currently no widespread infrastructure in place to transport captured CO2 for other uses. Regulations will influence the construction and operation of CO2 capture and transport infrastructure. Husky operates a pilot plant at the Pikes Peak South thermal project at Lashburn, Sask. that captures up to 30 tonnes a day of CO2 from once-through steam generators for use at the Pikes Peak South enhanced oil recovery (EOR) facility. Multiple low-emission technologies are under consideration for future application at thermal projects. Opportunity Effects: The CO2 sources available for carbon capture will provide opportunities for Husky to respond to regulatory changes influencing carbon capture and storage.

Explanation of financial impact figure
Husky is evaluating the financial impact of this opportunity. Commodity prices of CO2 for EOR purposes can exceed $100 per tonne when delivered to remote sites. For example, if CO2 can be captured at $50 per tonne, it would represent $3.2 million in savings, based on 2019 injection volumes of CO2. (63,149 tonnes injected * $50 / tonne savings = $3.2 million)
Cost to realize opportunity

Strategy to realize opportunity and explanation of cost calculation
Husky's carbon management experts advise business units on potential projects for CO2 capture that could support EOR or other markets. As part of this process, support has been provided to submit applications for research and development funding in this area. In addition, through participation in joint industry projects and conferences, Husky keeps abreast of developing technologies that could improve the feasibility of this opportunity. Through its test facility at the Pikes Peak South thermal plant in Lashburn, Sask., Husky is currently implementing a CO2 capture program for an EOR pilot from once-through steam generators to evaluate technological and economic feasibility of large-scale technology adoption and opportunity exploitation. Carbon capture is assumed to cost $100/tonne ($100/tonne * 63,149 tonnes = $6.3 million)

Company-specific description
Husky continually focuses on fuel consumption and emissions reduction. In 2019, Husky continued to use its FuelTrax Fuel Management and Monitoring system to conserve fuel and reduce air emissions from its Atlantic operations. Husky identified primary fuel consumption activities and installed fuel monitoring systems on select vessels to understand fuel consumption for these activities. This has allowed Husky to understand fuel consumption within the supply chain, and data obtained allowed for the identification of administrative controls in the supply chain that could have significant impact on fuel consumption. Further to those reduction initiatives Husky has now moved towards advanced vessel power management designs that are optimizing fuel consumption. In 2019, Husky approved a substitution of a hybrid diesel electric power management design vessel for a conventionally powered vessel, resulting in approximately a 4 cubic metres a day (m3/day) reduction in fuel consumption, for a larger more capable vessel.

Company-specific description
Husky may have an opportunity to provide low-carbon fuels to meet new market demand. Certain markets are assigning premium value to low-carbon transportation fuels and coal is being phased out in some jurisdictions and replaced by natural gas as the fuel of choice for power generation. Husky is well positioned to benefit from these trends in consumer behaviour as it has growth opportunities in natural gas production and ethanol-blended gasoline. The Company's Lloydminster Ethanol Plant currently provides low-carbon intensity ethanol to the B.C. market to support blending requirements to meet the province's Renewable and Low Carbon Fuels Requirements Regulation. Husky is also considering options for CO2 capture and storage at its Minnedosa Ethanol Plant in Manitoba. Opportunity Effects: Increased consumer demand for low-carbon transportation fuels and natural gas could result in new revenue opportunities.

In 2019, Husky's low carbon intensity ethanol from the Lloydminster Ethanol plant received, on average, a premium of $0.059 per litre on sales. Approximately 90% of the production at Lloydminster has a low carbon intensity, resulting in an additional $8,430,000 in revenue above market pricing. (142,676,000 litres * 0.9 * $0.059 = $8,430,000).

Strategy to realize opportunity and explanation of cost calculation
Husky identifies and manages opportunities related to consumer behaviour through several mechanisms. The Company's Enterprise Risk Matrix with mitigation strategies is reviewed by the Audit Committee quarterly and provided to the Board of Directors annually. Through the application of this risk matrix over time, the Company will be able to determine the appropriate response to changing markets as they develop. This includes allocating resources as appropriate to growth opportunities in natural gas, and ethanol-blended gasoline. For example, the Company's Lloydminster Ethanol Plant currently provides low-carbon intensity ethanol to the B.C. market. Husky has integrated its risk and opportunity identification processes into everyday business operations at a corporate services level. There are no additional material costs to identify and manage the opportunities described in this response at this time. If any of these opportunities are determined to warrant further study, a formal project sanctioning process would follow with the appropriate decision gates as needed. Costs would be refined at each of these gates.

Company-specific description
Regulations may encourage research into the use of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery. Husky completed a project in 2012 which included capturing CO2 and injecting it into heavy oil reservoirs to assist with enhanced heavy oil recovery, and continues to investigate additional capture technologies. Husky is developing this recovery method, which has not yet been applied commercially in the thin, shallow, viscous formations typical of heavy oil. Specifically, the Company is developing knowledge and methods on how to capture CO2 from its Lloydminster Ethanol Plant and other sources; and then purify, dehydrate and compress it before transporting it to heavy oil reservoirs located in proximity to the plant. The CO2 is injected into the reservoirs and used to enhance oil recovery. When the reservoirs are fully depleted, the CO2 can be stored in the reservoir.

IEA | Husky has evaluated its operations in relation to emerging regulations that are based on international commitments. As part of its long-range planning process, the Company developed scenarios |
Sustainable | based on the assumed cost of carbon required to meet Canada's Nationally Determined Contributions, and tested development projects for sensitivity to these prices in both short to medium-term |
development | time horizons. This process was applied to Husky's upstream and downstream operations in Canada. Results of this analysis were reported to senior management and factored into investment |
scenario | decisions. In 2019, Husky undertook a portfolio-wide scenario analysis to stress-test its ten-year business plan for resiliency against different oil and gas demand scenarios, including one where |
IEA CPS | global warming is limited to a less than two-degree temperature rise. The assumptions for this scenario were drawn from the International Energy Agency's Sustainable Development Scenario as |
Nationally | interpreted by the Canadian Energy Regulator. Husky supports the work of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Using the TCFD's categories, the scenario analysis |
determined | focused on the two elements Husky deemed most likely to potentially be material: carbon price and commodity price. The scenario analysis tested an alternate set of prices and application, based on |
contributions | the International Energy Agency and Canadian Energy Regulator cases. It found that over its 10-year life, Husky's current long-range plan is resilient to escalations in carbon pricing. |

Products | Yes | Current and emerging clean and renewable fuels regulations have affected costs and markets for blended fuels in Husky's Integrated Corridor business. The carbon intensity of the |
and | Company's ethanol production is favourable to many of its competitors, which presents an opportunity under both clean fuel standards and renewable fuel standards that require a | |
services | carbon intensity reduction (e.g. B.C.). In 2019, Husky's low carbon intensity ethanol from the Lloydminster Ethanol plant received, on average, a premium of $0.059 per litre on sales. | |
Approximately 90% of the production at Lloydminster has a low carbon intensity, resulting in an additional $8,430,000 in revenue above market pricing. | ||
Supply | Yes | Many of Husky's suppliers have been impacted by the Canadian federal fuel levy. Husky has worked with its suppliers to ensure that a fair flow-through of costs related to the levy are |
chain | negotiated into its agreements. To date, impacts have not been substantive (less than $10 million). | |
and/or | ||

Investment | Yes | As part of its efforts to improve the efficiency of getting bitumen products to market, Husky has proposed a substantive (greater than $10 million) investment in Husky Diluent Reduction, |
in R&D | a process that provides significantly reduced diluent for use in transmission pipelines. Additionally, Husky commissioned a 30 tonne/day carbon capture pilot in 2019 as part of a third- | |
party partnership. | ||
Operations | Yes | Husky makes carbon-related payments in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador. These payments totaled $19,112,300 in 2019. This |
figure was calculated by aggregating total costs from the Alberta fuel levy, Alberta Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation, British Columbia carbon fees, upstream assets, | ||
Saskatchewan output-based performance standards, Newfoundland and Labrador carbon tax, the federal fuel levy and the federal Output-Based Pricing System. The Company's | ||
current financial exposure to fees associated with carbon emissions is approximately 0.1% of Husky's 2019 gross revenue (including marketing and other income as listed in Husky's | ||
2019 Annual Report). With increased regulation, there will be increased costs associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Husky incorporates costs of existing and pending regulations | ||
in its long-range plan to adequately budget for carbon pricing impacts on an annual budgeting cycle and to inform internal stakeholders of future costs and mitigation opportunities. |

Row | Revenues | Revenues: Husky participates in clean and renewable fuels programs in the U.S. and Canada. These programs mandate blending of renewable fuels into marketed fuels at various percentages, |
1 | Capital | depending on jurisdiction. Markets for blendstocks or other compliance options can be volatile, and financial planning for compliance is an important part of mitigating these potentially |
expenditures | substantive costs, particularly if Husky is unable to pass these costs on to customers. In 2019, Husky's low- carbon intensity ethanol from the Lloydminster Ethanol Plant received, on average, | |
Capital | a premium of $0.059 per litre on sales. Approximately 90% of the production at the Lloydminster Ethanol Plant has a low carbon intensity, resulting in an additional $8,430,000 in revenue above | |
allocation | market pricing. Capital expenditures/allocation: In making investment decisions, Husky considers both the cost and value of carbon. Project carbon costs are modelled based on current and | |
Acquisitions | emerging policies in any given jurisdiction. Regulatory focus on methane venting management in heavy oil operations has in part led to non-substantive investment in gas conservation | |
and | infrastructure. In 2019, Husky invested approximately $1.4 million in gas compression to capture otherwise vented gases at heavy oil well sites, resulting in an estimated annual savings of | |
divestments | greater than $161,000. Acquisitions and divestments: Husky has completed a disposition program of legacy assets in Western Canada. Part of the process used to evaluate candidate assets | |
Access to | for sale was exposure to regulatory risk. This program had a substantive impact on Husky's balance sheet. In 2019, the Company divested facilities at Taber and Hussar. Husky also completed | |
capital | the sale of its Prince George Refinery. Access to capital: Securing early stage development funding for low emission technology and energy efficiency projects often requires additional policy | |
Assets | incentives, including R&D support funding provided by provincial and federal agencies to successfully compete for internal capital. Husky's diluent reduction technology project development has | |
Liabilities | been awarded substantive (greater than $10 million) financial support through provincial and federal technology R&D funding programs, aiding its current progress through to pilot plant | |
construction. Assets: Climate regulations associated with the development of reserves are factored into reserves valuation. Regulations aimed at reducing emissions intensity of production can | ||
impact current valuation of assets in relation to their emission intensity. These costs can have potentially substantive (greater than $10 million) impacts and can be affected by market, | ||
regulatory and technical risks. In 2019, there were no major regulatory changes that impacted the volume and valuation of Husky's natural gas proved reserves. Liabilities: Asset retirement | ||
planning can be impacted substantively by increased regulatory focus on venting from abandoned wells. While it is not anticipated that this would impact the total cost of retirement, it can affect | ||
the prioritization of projects for remediation and reclamation. In 2019, Husky's estimated total undiscounted inflation-adjusted asset retirement obligation was $10.0 billion. | ||

The term "carbon intensity" refers to a single value that represents the sum of GHG emissions from fuel life cycle. Approved carbon intensities assign a fuel a unique fuel code which is used for compliance reporting. Husky has 18 approved carbon intensities registered with the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines using the GHGenius model to calculate carbon intensities. Due to a revised Data Quality Plan, the number of carbon intensities has dropped from 53 in 2018 to 18 in 2019.

Scope 1 GHG emissions from transportation fuel combustion were avoided by blending renewable alternatives to gasoline (ethanol) and renewable alternatives to diesel (Hydrogenation-Derived Renewable Diesel [HDRD] and biodiesel) into gasoline and diesel, respectively. Where possible, Husky blends up to 10% ethanol into all blends of its gasoline. In 2019, this equated to an average of 9.1% ethanol blend, which exceeded federal and provincial requirements at the point of blending (Canada Federal - 5%, BC - 5%, AB - 5%, SK - 7.5%, MB - 8.5%, ON - 5%). The most up-to-date version of National Resources Canada's (NRCan) GHGenius model was used to calculate the carbon intensities of Husky's fuel blends. The B.C. Renewable and Low Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation's Emissions Calculation was used to determine emissions reductions. Emissions Reduction (tonnes) = (CI class x EER fuel - CI fuel) x EC fuel / 1,000,000, where CI class = the prescribed carbon intensity limit for the compliance period for the class of fuel of which the fuel is a part; EER fuel = the prescribed energy effectiveness ratio for that fuel in that class of fuel; CI fuel = the carbon intensity of the fuel (via GHGenius); EC fuel = the energy content of the fuel calculated in accordance with the regulations. For biodiesel and HDRD, the 2019 blend resulted in an average of 2.8% renewables for Husky's Canadian supply of diesel to the market.
C-OG4.6
CDP | Page | 26 | of 65 |
(C-OG4.6) Describe your organization's efforts to reduce methane emissions from your activities.
Husky continues engagement with regulators to contribute to the development of voluntary and mandatory methane emission reduction programs to meet federal and provincial targets.
Husky has worked towards reducing methane emissions as follows:
- Increased understanding and focus on gas production (calculated via gas oil ratio or GOR) and the implications on emissions.
- Increased understanding and focus on gas management strategies.
- Developing an inventory of methane emitting equipment to inform where investment will have the largest impact in reducing methane emissions.
- Developing new ways to reduce venting other than conventional conservation (pipeline and compressor).
- Added enclosed combustors as a gas management reduction tool. No significant impact to date, but step-change reductions are anticipated with regulatory change to address spacing issues.
- Developing processes and tools to help focus on leading indicators to resolve potential vent issues before they become a regulatory concern.
- Partnering with external parties to sponsor the development of new technology to address methane emissions.
- Participation in external committees which emphasize industry sharing of best practices with focus on methane.
- In 2019 Husky continued a project to reduce methane venting from pneumatic controllers through replacements and retrofits that is expected to result in reductions of greater than 40,000 tCO2e/year.
- In 2019, Husky installed compressors at heavy oil sites that will capture otherwise vented produced gas, generating estimated savings of more than 74,000 tonnes CO2e.
C-OG4.7
(C-OG4.7) Does your organization conduct leak detection and repair (LDAR) or use other methods to find and fix fugitive methane emissions from oil and gas production activities?
Yes
C-OG4.7a
(C-OG4.7a) Describe the protocol through which methane leak detection and repair or other leak detection methods, are conducted for oil and gas production activities, including predominant frequency of inspections, estimates of assets covered, and methodologies employed.
Husky meets regulatory compliance requirements for monitoring, repairing and reporting.
Canadian Upstream Facilities:
Husky's upstream sites and facilities are subject to provincial regulations to manage equipment leaks of methane. A prescriptive fugitive emissions management program (FEMP) was developed by Husky for the leak detection and repair (LDAR) of fugitive emission sources. The program specifies sites can be monitored up to a quarterly frequency with additional surveys completed as needed to address specific fugitive emission issues.
As per the FEMP program, Husky conducts quarterly LDAR surveys of its Lloydminster thermal assets. These surveys utilize infrared and ultrasonic detection to identify leaks in real time. Methodologies used include optical gas imaging cameras and toxic/organic vapour analyzers, which are supported by point source qualification/quantification technology, remote sensing, or other applicable methods to meet the requirements of LDAR program.
Canadian Downstream Facilities:
Husky has a LDAR program specific to its Canadian downstream facilities for the survey of lines and equipment that contain natural gas, fuel gas, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The LDAR program is designed to identify leaking equipment components, prompt the timely repair of the leaks, verify repair success, quantify the emission and report the volume/mass of the fugitive emissions. Downstream facilities are monitored once annually with a toxic/organic vapour analyzer under the methodology outlined in United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 21 as directed Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) Environmental Code of Practice for the Measurement and Control of Fugitive VOC Emissions from Equipment Leaks (1993). Any component identified with a VOC concentration above 10,000 parts per million (ppm) is considered leaking and requires an attempt to repair within five days of detection with final repairs completed within 15 days. Maintenance personnel accompany leak detection staff to perform repairs as leaks are discovered, wherever possible.
US Refineries:
Husky's US refineries are subject to numerous U.S. federal regulations and state regulations for managing equipment leaks of volatile organic compounds ("VOC") whereby the most stringent requirements for each program are combined into a facility LDAR Management Plan. The management plans outline monitoring, inspection, testing, record- keeping, reporting, maintenance and use of low leak valves. For example, the facilities monitor valves, pumps, and compressors. This is conducted at least quarterly, and in some instances monthly. Component leaks above certain thresholds trigger an obligation to repair, replace, or repack the component
C-OG4.8
CDP | Page | 27 | of 65 |
(C-OG4.8) If flaring is relevant to your oil and gas production activities, describe your organization's efforts to reduce flaring, including any flaring reduction targets.
Regulations in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan mandate both operational and economic evaluations that prioritize collection and conservation of produced gas over flaring. In addition, Husky engages in voluntary and collaborative efforts with government and industry organizations to reduce flaring through application of technology and sharing of knowledge and experience. Husky is also piloting enclosed combustors as an alternative to flaring, providing for a more controlled combustion of waste gases where gas conservation is not a viable solution. In the Atlantic region, Husky proposes targets for flaring volumes with the regulator and is then required to stay within those limits. These targets are approved for the period beginning April 1 and ending March 31 of the following year. For 2019-2020, the approved flare limit was 55.7 million cubic metres (m3) and Husky flared approximately 31.4 million m3, staying 43.7% below the target.

These factors are significantly lower than the emission factors generated from National Inventory Reporting and local electricity system operator data used to report location-based Scope 2 emissions, due to their large regional coverage.

Electricity emissions factors for location-based Scope 2 accounting are taken from the 2019 Canadian National Inventory Report as submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or supplied by grid operators where available. Market-based figures are calculated using Green-e Residual Mix electricity emission factors as recommended by CDP. The market-based and location-based emission factor for steam emissions is the same.

Husky includes retail site electricity Scope 2 emissions data where available (primarily in Alberta and Saskatchewan). Based on sampling of those retail sites with available emissions data, Husky estimates that emissions from building heating and electricity consumption from sites where data is unavailable are immaterial when compared to the Company's total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

C-OG9.2b
(C-OG9.2b) Explain which listing requirements or other methodologies you use to report reserves data. If your organization cannot provide data due to legal restrictions on reporting reserves figures in certain countries, please explain this.
Husky's oil and gas reserves are estimated in accordance with the standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH"), and the reserves data disclosed conforms with the requirements of National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). All of Husky's oil and gas reserves estimates are prepared by internal qualified reserves evaluation staff using a formalized process for determining, approving and booking reserves.
For the purposes of Husky's NI 51-101 reserves disclosure in the 2019 AIF, Sproule Associates Ltd. ("Sproule"), an independent firm of qualified reserves evaluators, was engaged to conduct a complete audit and review of 100% of Husky's oil and gas reserves estimates. Sproule issued an audit opinion stating that Husky's internally generated proved and probable reserves and net present values based on forecast and constant price assumptions are, in aggregate, reasonable, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted oil and gas engineering and evaluation practices as set out in the COGEH. Sproule has also this year executed the Form 51-101F2 attached as Appendix B to the AIF.
The Board of Directors has approved, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the content of Husky's disclosure of its reserves data and other oil and gas information. The reserves in C-OG9.2 are Husky's gross reserves, which are the working interest share of reserves before deduction of royalties and without including any royalty interests.

Husky is not currently operating a dedicated carbon capture and sequestration project. However, its CO2 EOR activities do result in partial retention and storage of carbon dioxide during and following operation.
Husky injects CO2 into several reservoirs in the Lloydminster area of Saskatchewan for the purposes of enhanced oil recovery. While some CO2 is retained, this activity is cyclic and not specifically designed to store CO2 in the formation. There is no assurance of long-term storage implied. As understanding of the reservoir response increases, Husky will be able to determine storage and retention capacity of the formation.

Variance of price(s) used
Husky employs a geographically differentiated shadow price that is sensitive to the realistic pricing assumptions of each jurisdiction in which it operates. For Canada, this results in an evolutionary pricing model that is based on the proposed Pan-Canadian Climate Framework, which calls for annual escalating prices approaching $50/tonne by 2022. The starting point for this pricing varies by province based on the carbon pricing regulations currently in place.
Type of internal carbon price
Shadow price
Impact & implication
Husky uses an internal price on carbon to evaluate projects in jurisdictions where there is a regulatory compliance obligation for GHG emissions or where there is a reasonable expectation that additional material compliance obligations will be implemented in the near to mid-term. The Company considers both the cost and value of GHGs; for example, Husky places a value on CO2 as a means to enhance heavy oil production. Husky has evaluated investments in energy efficiency at the Sunrise and Tucker thermal facilities using internal carbon pricing in line with current and proposed regulations of $30 per tonne, escalating to $50 per tonne by 2022 to determine additional sensitivity for the projects.

This includes an emphasis on environmental innovation as well as the creation of effective policies and regulations. CAPP's climate change policy principles are: Collaborative and Solutions-Oriented •Given Canada's climate commitments and industry impacts, CAPP will proactively collaborate with governments and stakeholders towards appropriate policy solutions. •Policy solutions need to be adaptive and carefully consider environmental, economic, and social outcomes. Efficient, Effective and Predictable •Climate policy should target reductions where they are most efficient and effective right across the entire energy value chain from production to end use and considering fairly all sectors and jurisdictions. •Climate change policies should achieve emissions reductions at the least cost to Canadians, the economy and industry. •Revenues from climate policy should be fully recycled back into the economy to incent innovation, assist transition or reduce other taxes and levies. Technology and Innovation Focused •Policy should incent technology and innovation to address climate change, and capture the opportunity to export solutions to the world. •Considerable future emissions reductions will stem from improving the hydrocarbon energy sector requiring continuing strong innovation and policy in these areas. Globally Competitive •Canada's climate policies must ensure our resource development is cost and carbon competitive with other jurisdictions, especially the U.S. as our largest trading partner. •Canada's climate policy leadership should bring proportionate benefits to Canada, including ensuring we receive full value for Canadian energy products through effective access to global markets. •Canada is highly dependent on the development and trade of its natural resources, and on its ability to attract foreign investment. Canada's climate policies must be designed to maintain our ability to raise global investment capital.

CFA's policy position is presented at http://www.canadianfuels.ca/IssuesPolicy/Policy-Positions under the Climate Change and GHG Emission Reduction section. CFA's Position on Climate Change To address the risks of climate change, reducing GHG emissions has become an important global issue. Under the auspices of the Paris Agreement, virtually every country has committed to reduce their GHG emissions. For Canada, our collective efforts to achieve a sustainable, lower carbon future must be founded on three key actions: •Explore, define and evaluate GHG emission-reduction pathways in collaboration with all stakeholders before targets are set. •Recognize Canada's productivity and competitiveness as core considerations in the development and implementation of a national GHG-reduction strategy. •Ensure that sound evidence and cost-benefit analyses drive decision-making and are transparently shared with citizens. Climate policy has far reaching implications for citizens, business and society in general. Canadian Fuels Association and its members support policy approaches that minimize the overall cost to society of reducing climate risks. Broad-based

CME Advocacy Highlights: https://cme-mec.ca/blog/initiatives/lowering-business-costs/ including position on Carbon Taxes and Revenue Recycling and the Clean Fuel
Standard. CME's policy position on carbon taxation and revenue recycling: "CME is calling for the revenue-neutral distribution of carbon pricing monies. Funds collected under the federal backstop system should be returned to the "person" (the company) to invest in projects that improve environmental performance and increase investment in emissions-reducing machinery, equipment and technologies. We believe that federal carbon pricing backstop system must be balanced and cannot compromise economic growth, industrial investment, or the global competitiveness of manufacturers. The system must be designed in such a way so that companies receive access to funds directly in proportion to how much they pay in carbon taxes or cap-and-trade expenses". CME's policy position on Clean Fuel Standard: "CME supports efforts to reduce GHG emissions intensity across Canada but is concerned about the impact the CFS will have on Canada's business competitiveness. The CFS will add cost to doing business and will further discourage investment in Canada. CME calls on the on the federal government to: 1. Complete a comprehensive economic analysis and modelling exercise; and, 2. Exempt all manufacturing fuels from the CFS. The CFS must not result in carbon leakage -whereby companies simply shift their production to other jurisdictions with less stringent regulations, a loss of manufacturing jobs, a weaker economy, or a net increase in global GHG emissions".

Is your position on climate change consistent with theirs?

Please explain the trade association's position
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce recognizes that climate policy must be part of a broader national conversation about Canada's competitiveness. This discussion must include concrete action to address the decline in foreign direct investment in Canada, and our inability to move forward on major infrastructure projects. The CCC has supported putting a price on carbon since 2011. However, the organization believes it must be part of coherent strategy to deal with climate change, and not simply add to a hodge-podge of other measures. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce's Statement on Carbon Pricing is presented at: http://www.chamber.ca/media/news- releases/20181217_statement_on_carbon_pricing/ The CCC's support for putting a price on carbon is not unconditional. It depends upon the carbon pricing mechanism being revenue neutral, that the overall regulatory burden on business is reduced, and that the revenue generated is used to help businesses invest in innovation and technologies to reduce their carbon emissions and energy costs. The Chamber believes that a well-executed carbon pricing policy has the potential to reduce the overall costs to business through the reduction or elimination of other duplicative regulatory burdens. The CCC released a report that outlined the cumulative costs of climate policy in Canada. The CCC recognized the imperative need for Canada to pursue greenhouse gas emissions reductions at the lowest possible cost to Canadians and Canadian businesses. The report highlighted the layering of different carbon prices and increased costs of jurisdictional overlaps will needlessly raise the cost of compliance for Canadian businesses. Energy affordability is key to Canada's economic competitiveness, and the impacts of additional implicit carbon pricing costs must be carefully balanced so energy remains affordable for households, and businesses remain competitive with other jurisdictions that may not face the same regulations. Policymakers must continue to be attentive to how implicit and explicit carbon pricing makes Canada a more expensive place to invest in energy-intensive projects when compared to other jurisdictions. The CCC recommends that emission reductions be approached in a manner that balances the environment, the economy and energy affordability.

Forward-Looking Statements and Information
Certain statements in this document are forward-looking statements and information (collectively "forward-looking statements"), within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are forward-looking and not historical facts.
Some of the forward-looking statements may be identified by statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "is targeting", "estimated", "intend", "plan", "projection", "forecast", "guidance", "could", "may", "would", "aim", "vision", "goals", "objective", "target", "schedules" and "outlook"). In particular, forward-looking statements in this document include, but are not limited to, references to: the Company's general strategic plans and growth strategies; anticipated increases to carbon-related payments; potential financial impacts and time horizons of identified risks; potential climate-related opportunities and their corresponding likelihood, time horizon, magnitude of impact, potential financial impact and the costs and strategies to realize the opportunities; the results of the Company's scenario analysis; Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and associated timelines; methane reduction target and associated timeline; number of emissions reduction initiatives at various stages of development and their estimated annual CO2e savings; estimated annual CO2e savings, annual monetary savings, investment required, payback period and estimated lifetime of implemented emissions reduction initiatives; and a proposed investment in Husky Diluent Reduction.
In addition, statements relating to "reserves" are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment based on certain estimates and assumptions that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and in projecting future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. The total amount or timing of actual future production may vary from reserve and production estimates.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected by the forward-looking statements presented in this document are reasonable, the Company's forward-looking statements have been based on assumptions and factors concerning future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to the Company about itself and the businesses in which it operates. Information used in developing forward-looking statements has been acquired from various sources, including third party consultants, suppliers and regulators, among others.
Because actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which contribute to the possibility that the predicted outcomes will not occur. Some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are similar to those faced by other oil and gas companies and some are unique to the Company.
The Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other documents filed with securities regulatory authorities (accessible through the SEDAR website www.sedar.com and the EDGAR website www.sec.gov) describe risks, material assumptions and other factors that could influence actual results and are incorporated herein by reference.
New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The impact of any one factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as such factors are dependent upon other factors, and the Company's course of action would depend upon management's assessment of the future considering all information available to it at the relevant time. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and, except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Non-GAAP Measures
This document contains reference to the term "breakeven price", which does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. This measure is not used to enhance the Company's reported financial performance or position and there are no comparable measures to this non-GAAP measure in accordance with IFRS.
Breakeven price reflects the estimated WTI oil price per barrel priced in US dollars required in order to generate funds flow from operations equal to the Company's sustaining capital requirements in Canadian dollars over a 12-month period ending December 31. This assumption is based on holding several variables constant throughout the period, including: foreign exchange rate, light-heavy oil differentials, realized refining margins, forecast utilization of downstream facilities, estimated production levels, and other factors consistent with normal oil and gas company operations. Breakeven price is used to assess the impact of changes in WTI oil prices on the net earnings of the Company and could impact future investment decisions.
Disclosure of Oil and Gas Information
Unless otherwise indicated: (i) reserves estimates in this document have been prepared by internal qualified reserves evaluators in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook, have an effective date of December 31 in the years indicated and represent the Company's working interest share before royalties; (ii) projected and historical production volumes provided represent the Company's working interest share before royalties; and (iii) historical production volumes provided are for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company uses the term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe"), which is consistent with other oil and gas companies' disclosures, and is calculated on an energy equivalence basis applicable at the burner tip whereby one barrel of crude oil is equivalent to six thousand cubic feet of natural gas. The term boe is used to express the sum of the total company products in one unit that can be used for comparisons. Readers are cautioned that the term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. This measure is used for consistency with other oil and gas companies and does not represent value equivalency at the wellhead.
