HOME INTRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT SOCIAL GOVERNANCE
About This Report
The ESG Report ("the report") and associated disclosures represent MEG's ongoing commitment to transparency and the disclosure of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics and performance metrics relevant to our business and our stakeholders.
The report focuses on ESG topics our stakeholders have identified as important and that have potential impact on MEG's success as identified in our ESG Materiality Assessment (conducted in early 2023). For more details on MEG's approach to managing ESG topics, see relevant pages or sections in this report.
Scope
The report covers the ESG performance of MEG's 100 per cent owned and operated asset, the Christina Lake Regional Project (CLRP), unless explicitly stated otherwise. All other assets are currently not developed. MEG does not hold any operated or non- operated joint venture interests. This report focuses on performance and activities from January 1 to December 31, 2022, and significant events early in 2023.
The accompanying ESG Performance Data (EPD) Report provides historical data, where available and appropriate, to share trends. Data exclusions or additions are noted throughout the report. Financial
data is stated in Canadian dollars and in a manner consistent with our 2022 reports and regulatory filings. Environmental data is reported in metric units.
Framework
Where applicable, indicators used in this report align with internationally recognized standards and frameworks relevant to the energy industry.
This report is aligned to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Task Force on Climate- Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) reporting frameworks and, where applicable, reflects the TCFD pillars: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.

to previously reported performance data are required, they are noted in the footnotes of the EPD Report and SASB Index.
