SCOPE AND PURPOSE
This policy guidance & standard (PG&S) applies to Suncor Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries world-wide (collectively “Suncor” or the “Company”). All Suncor Personnel must comply with this PG&S. References in this document to “Suncor Personnel” include members of the board of directors, officers, employees and independent contractors (formerly referred to as contract workers) of Suncor.
All Suncor Personnel whose principal job responsibilities or accountabilities are in the areas of communications or investor relations, and all Suncor officers with a position of Vice President, General Manager or higher, must be thoroughly familiar with this PG&S, and for such individuals, this PG&S is subject to and forms part of Suncor's Standards of Business Conduct Code and Compliance Program.
One of the cornerstones of securities laws, including the requirements of securities commissions and stock exchanges (“Securities Laws”), is that all persons investing in securities have equal access to information that may affect investment decisions, and that all material information be promptly and generally disclosed to the public. The objectives of this Policy Guidance and Standard on Public Communications, in conjunction with Suncor’s Standards of Business Conduct Policies on “Disclosure of Material Information and Trading in Shares andSecurities” and “Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality”, are to ensure that Suncor has appropriate processes in place to communicate to the public in a timely, factual and accurate manner, and to communicate material information in a way that constitutes general disclosure in accordance with Securities Laws.

|---|---|
| 1. | COMMUNICATIONS<br> TO THE PUBLIC - DEFINED |
| --- | --- |
This PG&S applies to all of the Company’s communications to the public. A communication to the public is a communication made under any circumstances where it is placed in, or is likely to enter, the public domain, and can include communication to employees generally, that is not expressly subject to an obligation of confidence**.** Suncor’s communications to the public include, but are not limited to:
| · | formal<br> written documents such as shareholder reports, annual information forms, press releases,<br> proxy circulars and financial statements (including management’s discussion and analysis); |
|---|---|
| · | newsletters,<br> letters to shareholders, environment and social responsibility reports that are made generally<br> available outside the Company; |
| --- | --- |
| · | internal<br> and external web site (or intranet) content; |
| --- | --- |
| · | investor<br> presentations, advertising and marketing literature; |
| --- | --- |
| · | employee<br> newsletters; and |
| --- | --- |
| · | oral<br> presentations by Suncor Personnel on behalf of Suncor, such as speeches, investor presentations<br> and analyst / media conferences, professional and industry conferences, interviews and meetings,<br> whether or not stated to be on a “confidential” or “off the record”<br> basis. |
| --- | --- |
| 2. | SECURITIES<br> LAWS & GENERAL DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL INFORMATION |
| --- | --- |
Under Securities Laws, general disclosure requires two things: (1) broad public dissemination; and (2) sufficient time thereafter for public investors to analyze the information. For the purposes of this standard, “broad public dissemination” is achieved through a news release distributed through a widely circulated news or wire service that provides simultaneous national and/or international distribution, including distribution to all applicable stock exchanges and securities regulatory authorities, as well as major financial media.
Posting of material information on our web site should occur concurrently with or shortly after the news release, but posting alone is not broad public dissemination. A press conference or conference call may be scheduled for a time shortly following the news release.
In addition, Securities Laws recognize that time is required for markets to absorb the impact of such information, although the applicable period of time is not prescribed by law. Under stock exchange practices, trading halts pending material announcements ordinarily last for periods of between one half hour and two hours. Accordingly, for the purposes of this PG&S, under most circumstances, a period of two hours following distribution via newswire must elapse before information is deemed to be broadly and publicly disseminated.
Suncor has a Material Information Committee. One of the roles of this committee is to assist the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), or in his or her absence, the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), in making judgments on materiality and other disclosure issues. Suncor Personnel who become aware of information that they believe is material and not within the knowledge of Suncor’s management, should refer to the PG&S relating to “Disclosure of Material Information & Trading in Shares & Securities” for guidance.

| 3. | SPOKESPERSONS |
| --- | --- |
The primary spokespersons for the Company are the CEO, Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), CFO, Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, Vice President, Sustainability & Communications, Vice President, Investor Relations, Director, Strategic Communications & Content Strategy and Manager, Media & Issues Management. Within each business unit, the chief executive of that business unit is a designated spokesperson for that business unit. These spokespersons may, from time to time, designate others to communicate on behalf of the Company either in their absence or in response to a specific enquiry or category of enquiry. The spokespersons named above shall keep a current written list of other such designated spokespersons and shall ensure that the list is available to the communications departments in each of Suncor’s businesses, including the corporate office. Suncor Personnel other than the appropriate designated spokespersons shall not issue communications to nor respond to enquiries about Suncor from the media, members of the investment community, or other members of the public. Suncor Personnel shall promptly refer all such enquiries to the appropriate designated spokesperson or, in cases of doubt, the Vice President, Sustainability & Communications or the Vice President, Investor Relations.
| 4. | RUMOURS |
|---|
It is Suncor’s standard policy not to confirm or deny market rumours or speculation. If a stock exchange or a securities regulatory authority requests the Company to issue a statement in response to such rumours or speculation, the Material Information Committee will consider the matter and authorize the appropriate response. In addition, the Vice President, Investor Relations or Vice President, Sustainability & Communications, may, where it is deemed appropriate, in their discretion, and where it will not otherwise constitute selective disclosure or otherwise contravene this PG&S, correct misinformation in the public domain that may arise from spurious rumours that are not widespread and not reasonably expected to impact the market.
| 5. | COMMUNICATIONS<br> WITH FINANCIAL ANALYSTS & INVESTORS |
|---|
The CEO, COO, CFO or Vice President, Investor Relations, must approve all written materials and oral presentations to the investment community, including financial analysts and investors. All such presentations shall be derived from the Company’s public disclosure record and shall be vetted by one of the foregoing or a delegate, and by the Disclosure Committee, to ensure consistency and conformity with same. Under no circumstances shall material non-public information be provided to any person (including without limitation any member of the media or investment community) prior to general disclosure (this practice, which is unlawful, is called “Selective Disclosure”), except under the limited circumstances permitted by Securities Laws.^1^
The CEO, COO, CFO or Vice President, Investor Relations, or their delegates, will attend all meetings with the investment community. Unless authorized by a member of the Material Information Committee, at least two designated spokespersons from the Company must be present at all meetings with the investment community.
| 6. | INADVERTENT<br> SELECTIVE DISCLOSURE |
|---|
If material non-public information is inadvertently disclosed selectively, the Company will take immediate action to achieve general disclosure of the material information as soon as possible, and in any event within 24 hours of discovering there has been inadvertent Selective Disclosure. The Material Information Committee will be promptly informed of such inadvertent Selective Disclosure and may provide direction as to any steps to be taken by the Company pending general disclosure, which may include requesting a trading halt.
^1^ Under Securities Laws, certain information may be disclosed without violating the law, where disclosure is in the necessary course of business and is made in circumstances designed to ensure there will be no misuse of the information. In appropriate circumstances, this exception could cover, on a “need to know” basis, vendors, suppliers or strategic partners, employees, officers and board members, lenders, legal counsel, auditors, financial advisors, underwriters, parties to negotiations, labor unions and industry associations, government agencies and non-governmental regulators, and credit rating agencies. Under these circumstances a written confidentiality agreement or other assurance of confidentiality is required to ensure the information will not be used unlawfully. Only those persons expressly authorized to disclose information in these circumstances may do so. This exception does not permit a company to make a selective disclosure to the media, an analyst, an institutional investor or other market professional.

| 7. | CONFERENCE<br> CALLS |
| --- | --- |
Suncor maintains a policy of open communication with stakeholders subject to business exigencies including maintenance of Suncor’s competitive position, and compliance with legal obligations including confidentiality obligations and Securities Laws. Accordingly, where practical, Suncor will hold conference calls for the purpose of discussing annual and quarterly earnings, outlook and outlook updates, and major corporate developments. All such conference calls shall be preceded by a news release and Suncor web site announcement describing how the call may be accessed, and may also be announced by direct invitations to analysts, investors, the media and other particular interest groups, to permit all interested persons to participate either on an interactive or “listen-only” basis, as appropriate in the circumstances. In general, the public will be provided with “listen-only” access to investor and media conference calls. An audio recording of the call will be made available to the public on the Company’s web site for a period of 90 days following the date of the conference call.
| 8. | ANNUAL<br> OUTLOOK |
|---|
The Company shall issue an annual outlook before or early in each financial year to assist the investment community in understanding the Company’s expectations for key performance factors. The performance factors to be addressed in the outlook will be determined by the CFO and/or the Vice President, Investor Relations. Prior to issuance, the outlook release shall be vetted by the Company’s Disclosure Committee and reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors. The outlook shall be reviewed quarterly and otherwise at such time or times as the CFO determines. In addition, should any material events or circumstances occur that the CFO reasonably believes will materially alter the issued outlook including any update thereto, the Company shall promptly issue an update. The Company shall establish and implement reasonable due diligence procedures for preparation of the outlook and updates thereto. The Company’s outlook and all updates to same shall be broadly and publicly disseminated.
| 9. | NEWS<br> RELEASES |
|---|
All news releases issued by Suncor containing business information that would be of general interest to the investment community or that contains otherwise sensitive information, must be approved by Corporate legal counsel. Ideally the following additional approvals are required, in addition to approval by Corporate legal counsel, prior to these documents being issued:
| TYPE OF INFORMATION | APPROVAL BY: |
|---|---|
| Information<br> relevant to the investment community | Vice<br> President, Investor Relations, CFO, COO and CEO, or delegate |
| Financial<br> or other quantitative information that has not been previously disclosed | CFO<br> or Vice President, Controller, or delegate* |
| Other<br> sensitive information | The<br> applicable Executive or Senior Vice President, the COO, the CEO, or delegate |
| Material<br> information | See<br> “Material Announcements” below |
*In some circumstances the release of significant financial information may require approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors and of the Disclosure Committee, as determined by the CFO or Vice President and Controller in accordance with criteria approved by the Audit Committee from time to time.
As news releases may have to be issued on short notice, there may be circumstances where not all approvals will be obtained on a timely basis. In that situation the Vice President, Sustainability & Communications or the Director, External Communications, together with those approving officers who are available to provide approval, shall exercise judgment in making a decision to release news even though all approvals have not been obtained.

|---|
In all cases, it is the responsibility of the Director, External Communications to ensure the information contained is accurate and aligned with prior disclosure and future business strategies. This may mean that review by a variety of experts in Corporate and/or the business units, may also be required.
| 10. | SPEECHES<br> AND PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS |
|---|
When Suncor Personnel are asked to make a public presentation on behalf of Suncor, if they will be presenting information that is not already on the public record, they must ensure that they have, or receive, the authorization of a designated spokesperson. All speeches or other public presentations that contain previously undisclosed business information that would be of general interest to the investment community, or that contain otherwise sensitive information, must also be approved in the same manner as news releases (see above) and in addition, must be approved by the Vice President, Sustainability & Communications or the Director, External Communications. Except with the approval of the Material Information Committee, material announcements shall not be made solely through speeches or public presentations, but rather must be made in a manner which constitutes broad public dissemination, discussed below.
| 11. | MATERIAL<br> ANNOUNCEMENTS |
|---|
Material announcements shall be made in a manner that constitutes broad public dissemination of information in accordance with applicable Securities Laws. Where practical, material announcements shall be made in the manner specified under Section 2 of this PG&S.
In addition, if practical, the following actions will be taken in conjunction with material announcements:
| · | If<br> a stock exchange upon which Suncor’s securities are listed is open for trading at the<br> time of a proposed material announcement, prior notice of the possibility of such material<br> announcement will be provided to the market surveillance department to enable a trading halt,<br> if deemed necessary. |
|---|---|
| · | Pending<br> the public release of the material information, and if deemed necessary by the Material Information<br> Committee, a trading ban will be implemented for all Suncor personnel who have knowledge<br> of the information, pending general disclosure of the information. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Section<br> 10 of this PG&S applies to all material announcements. In addition, the Material Information<br> Committee may at any time impose additional requirements relating to material announcements. |
| --- | --- |
| 12. | REVIEW<br> OF ANALYST REPORTS |
| --- | --- |
Except in a quiet period (see “Quiet Period” below), the Vice President, Investor Relations, or other officer of the Company designated by the CEO, COO, CFO or Vice President, Investor Relations, may review financial analyst’s reports or models upon request. Comment on same shall be limited to factual information and underlying assumptions, provided that no such comment shall be made that would constitute prohibited Selective Disclosure. Under no circumstances shall a financial analyst’s report or opinions expressed therein be confirmed, denied or corrected by the Company (including without limitation by expression of comfort or discomfort with same) either explicitly or implicitly.

|---|---|
| 13. | DISTRIBUTION<br> OF ANALYST REPORTS |
| --- | --- |
Distribution of analyst reports by Suncor by any means other than internal distribution on a need to know basis (including without limitation by web site hyperlink or posting) is prohibited, as such a practice could be deemed to be endorsement of the views of the analyst by the Company. However, Suncor may maintain on its web site a list of analysts covering the Company, with analyst contact information, provided that (1) Suncor has the analysts (or analyst firm’s) consent; and (2) the listing is kept current and contains a list of ALL analysts reasonably known covering the Company.
| 14. | FORWARD<br> LOOKING INFORMATION |
|---|
Suncor shall not provide forecasts or projections of future earnings (“Forward Looking Financial Information, or “FOFI”) unless such FOFI has been specifically authorized by the CFO or CEO or included in a document that has been approved by Suncor’s board of directors or the Audit Committee thereof. However, the Company may make forward looking statements that do not constitute FOFI to enable the public to view the Company and its prospects and plans through the eyes of management. Such forward looking statements may include information relating to expected production growth or decline based on known factors and trends, capital spending plans, plans for new projects and other aspects of the Company’s business.
Forward looking statements in written documents will be clearly identified as forward looking. These statements will be accompanied with meaningful and proximate cautionary language that warns investors that there is a risk the statements could change materially, identifies material assumptions upon which the forward looking statements are based and where appropriate and practical includes a sensitivity analysis to indicate the extent to which different business conditions could affect actual outcomes. Oral forward looking statements, including such statements in conference calls, speeches or at shareholder or investor meetings, will be similarly qualified with oral cautionary statements to the same effect. Forward looking statements will also be accompanied by a statement that disclaims the Company’s intention or obligation to update or revise same, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless the Company is otherwise required to do so under relevant securities laws. Notwithstanding this disclaimer, where management believes any material forward looking statement was materially inaccurate when given, or in light of subsequent events or circumstances becomes materially inaccurate, Suncor shall take appropriate steps to update or correct such forward looking information by appropriate means.
| 15. | QUIET<br> PERIOD |
|---|
Designated spokespersons will not comment to the media or investment community about the Company’s earnings prospects during the quarterly “quiet periods” which will begin when the preliminary quarterly financial results (“quick fix”) are circulated internally, and end following broad public dissemination of such financial results. The sole exception to the foregoing is that the Company may update its quarterly outlook during a quiet period by broad public dissemination of a guidance release and by analyst/media conference call in accordance with the procedures outlined in this standard, and may comment on its quarterly guidance update for a brief period of time after public release if such comment is limited to the public record (including the update and associated analyst / media call) and does not constitute Selective Disclosure.

| 3 | Conflict of Interest Guidance | |
| --- | --- | |
| What is a conflict of interest? | A conflict of interest arises when an individual's course of action or decision<br> could at least create the appearance that the individual is acting other than in Suncor’s best interests. | |
| --- | --- | |
| Examples | Appearances can be as damaging as actions. Individuals should not only avoid<br> actual conflict situations, they should also avoid placing themselves in positions that may be perceived as conflicts. Each case depends<br> on the specific facts and will be judged on its own merits. Accordingly, it is not possible to identify all the scenarios which may<br> give rise to a conflict of interest. It is up to each individual, when in doubt, to err on the side of reporting the matter. The following,<br> however, outlines several examples of potential conflicts: | |
| 1. | Involvement<br> in outside interests (e.g. doing consulting work for others, operating a side business, running<br> for political office, being involved in charitable activities, etc.) which may compromise<br> an individual’s ability to act solely in the best interests of Suncor. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 2. | Participating<br> in outside interests to the extent that it interferes with an individual’s ability<br> to devote their full time and attention to their Suncor duties or safely and effectively<br> do their Suncor job. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 3. | Participating<br> in a hiring decision concerning a family member or close friend. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 4. | Having<br> a reporting relationship with a family member or close friend. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 5. | Participating<br> in a procurement decision, supervising or directing work or approving invoices relating to<br> a Suncor supplier when the individual has a personal connection to the supplier (e.g. the<br> individual’s spouse or child works at the supplier, the supplier is owned by the employee,<br> a family member or close friend, etc.). | |
| --- | --- | |
| 6. | Having<br> an ownership interest in a competitor, supplier or any other business which does or seeks<br> to do business with Suncor. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 7. | Sitting<br> on the board of directors of a competitor, supplier or any other business which does or seeks<br> to do business with Suncor. | |

| 2 | Material Information Requirements | |
| --- | --- | |
| Reporting and Trading | The following requirements are applicable to all Suncor Personnel. | |

| 2.1.1 | Suncor<br> Personnel who become aware of information that is or potentially may be Material Information<br> that has not been publicly disclosed must immediately report it to their leader and to Suncor’s<br> corporate legal team and must not discuss it with anyone else unless otherwise instructed. | |
| --- | --- | |
| “Material Information” means any information that significantly affects or would<br> reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of Suncor securities. Non-public information about<br> Suncor is generally considered to be “material” if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider<br> the information important in deciding whether to purchase, sell, or hold a Suncor security, or what value the investor would place<br> on the Suncor security. | ||
| --- | ||
| 2.1.2 | Suncor<br> Personnel must not trade in Suncor shares or other Suncor securities, including acquiring<br> Suncor shares through the exercise of a stock option, with knowledge of undisclosed Material<br> Information regarding Suncor and must not engage in any other action to take personal advantage<br> of such undisclosed Material Information. | |
| --- | --- | |
| Material Information is considered publicly disclosed after it has been accurately published and<br> widely disseminated (through major newswire services, national news services and/or financial news services) and at least one full<br> trading day has elapsed from the time of disclosure by Suncor to permit evaluation of the information by the investing public. | ||
| --- | ||
| Suncor Personnel must not attempt to “beat the market” by trading simultaneously with,<br> or shortly after, the official release of Material Information. | ||
| Trading in shares or other securities of Suncor is not made permissible merely because Material Information<br> is reflected in rumours or other unofficial statements in the market place. | ||

| The only exception to this trading prohibition is for purchase of shares under an automatic<br> purchase plan, such as the Suncor savings plan, pursuant to which the timing of trading, the number of shares to be traded and the<br> price payable or receivable are established in advance without any knowledge of undisclosed Material Information and is not subject<br> to a subsequent exercise of discretion while in possession of undisclosed Material Information. | ||
| --- | ||
| 2.1.4 | Suncor<br> Personnel must not trade in the shares or other securities of another organization with knowledge<br> of undisclosed Material Information regarding Suncor and/or such other organization and must<br> not engage in any other action to take personal advantage of such undisclosed Material Information. | |
| --- | --- | |
| Suncor Personnel may become aware of undisclosed Material Information regarding another organization<br> as a result of Suncor’s activity with that other organization (for example, Suncor may be involved in a joint venture or other<br> project or transaction with that organization). Information not material to Suncor may be material to another organization. | ||
| --- | ||
| Suncor Personnel may be aware of undisclosed Material Information of Suncor or of another organization<br> that may influence the share price of such other organization. Trading in the shares or other securities of such organizations is prohibited<br> while in possession of undisclosed Material Information. | ||
| 2.1.5 | If<br> you become aware, or suspect, that persons are trading in shares or other securities with<br> undisclosed Material Information, or are informing others of undisclosed Material Information,<br> you should immediately advise the corporate legal team. | |

| · | A<br> change in the manner in which a Reporting Insider holds Suncor securities, e.g. you transfer<br> directly held Suncor shares to a family trust, you transfer common shares from an unregistered<br> investment account to your RRSP or you request a share certificate for shares held in your<br> Suncor savings plan. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 5.1.3 | Insider<br> reports must be filed electronically on the “System for Electronic Disclosure for Insiders”,<br> or “SEDI”, located at www.sedi.ca.<br> Reporting Insiders are responsible to ensure that insider reports and the “insider<br> profile” are properly filed on SEDI on a timely basis and are accurate and complete. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 5.1.4 | Unless<br> otherwise instructed, Suncor’s corporate legal team will file a Reporting Insider’s<br> insider reports for events related to issuances, grants or exercises of Suncor securities<br> pursuant to Suncor’s long-term incentive plans. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 5.1.5 | Reporting<br> Insiders must notify Suncor’s corporate legal team of any events that trigger a reporting<br> obligation within two (2) calendar days following the event (other than grants<br> of Suncor securities made to a Reporting Insider or a payout in relation to Suncor’s<br> long-term incentive plans which will be filed by Suncor’s corporate legal team pursuant<br> to 5.1.4 above). | |
| --- | --- | |
| These reporting requirements can be deferred for the automatic purchase of Suncor securities, such<br> as under the Suncor savings plan or any dividend reinvestment plan. If completing your filings, Suncor will rely on an exemption to<br> defer the reporting requirements for filings made in connection with the Suncor savings plan (unless the filing relates to an ad hoc<br> purchase of Suncor shares), a dividend reinvestment plan and in the case of directors, DSUs. If relying on the exemption, an annual<br> report disclosing, on a transaction-by-transaction basis or in an acceptable summary form, must be filed by March 31 of each year<br> in respect of unreported acquisitions under these plans up to and including December 31 of the preceding year. | ||

| Regardless of whether a Reporting Insider files their own reports, or has their reports completed<br> and filed on their behalf by their legal counsel or any other person, both Suncor and securities regulators will look to the Reporting<br> Insider as being responsible for ensuring that insider reports are accurately completed and filed on a timely basis and that the insider<br> profile filed under SEDI is accurate and complete. A failure to accurately file insider reports in a timely manner can attract regulatory<br> consequences and the insiders’ names may be published by securities regulators. | ||
| --- | ||
| 5.1.7 | A<br> Reporting Insider should contact Suncor’s corporate legal team immediately if they<br> believe that they own or are considering purchasing any security or financial instrument<br> of Suncor, other than Suncor securities discussed above, or are a party to or are considering<br> entering into any agreement that affects their economic exposure to Suncor. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 5.1.8 | Reporting<br> Insiders who cease to be “insiders” for securities law purposes (generally, this<br> will occur when a Reporting Insider leaves the employ of Suncor or ceases to be a director)<br> must file an amendment to their insider profile on SEDI. | |

| 4 | Harassment | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 4.1 | Requirements and Guidance | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Requirement | Suncor is committed to providing a respectful work environment. Suncor does<br> not tolerate any forms of harassment and is committed to taking reasonable measures to eliminate or, if that is not reasonably practicable,<br> control the hazard of harassment. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Guidance | Harassment is any single incident or repeated incidents of objectionable or<br> unwelcome conduct, comment, bullying or action by a person that the person knows or ought reasonably to know will or would cause<br> offence or humiliation to a person, or adversely affects the person’s health and safety, and includes: | ||
| a) | conduct,<br> comment, bullying or action because of age, ancestry, citizenship, colour, family status,<br> gender identity, gender expression, marital status, physical or mental disability, place<br> of origin, race, religion or creed, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation or any<br> other status protected by applicable laws; and | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| b) | a<br> sexual solicitation or advance | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| but excludes any reasonable conduct of an employer or leader in<br> respect of the management of Suncor Personnel. | |||
| --- | --- | ||
| Harassment includes actions (such as touching or pushing), comments<br> (including jokes or name-calling) and visual displays (such as jewelry, clothing, buttons, slogans, body art/tattoos, posters or<br> cartoons), which are reasonably perceived as insulting, intimidating, humiliating, hurtful, malicious, degrading or otherwise offensive<br> to an individual, and includes sexual harassment, discriminatory harassment and other forms of harassment. Harassment can involve<br> a single incident, or a series of incidents. Harassment can also occur on-line or through social media, as inappropriate emails,<br> texts, and social media posts can be equally hurtful. All forms of harassment are prohibited by this standard. | |||
| The above types of harassment are examples only and do not cover<br> all circumstances or conduct that may constitute harassment. If an individual feels that they are being harassed, they are encouraged<br> to seek guidance from Human Resources or Legal Affairs | |||
![]() |
Important: Legitimate management intervention,<br> or exercise of authority, including performance appraisals, counselling, and discipline, is not harassment. | ||

| SUN-00021 | 7 of 13 | Revision: 3:1 | |
| Enterprise Standard | |||
| --- | |||
| Respectful<br>Workplace Standard | |||
| Sexual Harassment Guidance | Sexual harassment has been defined in some jurisdictions as any conduct, comment,<br> gesture, or contact of a sexual nature that is likely to cause offence or humiliation to any reasonable person or that might, on<br> reasonable grounds, be perceived by that person as placing a condition of a sexual nature on employment or on any benefits or employment<br> opportunity. Such harassment can include direct advances and reprisals or threats of reprisal if the advances are rejected. It also<br> includes making a sexual solicitation or advance where the person making the solicitation or advance is in a position to confer,<br> grant or deny a benefit or advancement to the person and the person knows or ought to know the solicitation or advance is unwelcome. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| **** | Sexual harassment also includes offensive or humiliating behaviour of a sexual<br> nature that creates an intimidating, hostile or “poisoned” work environment. A few examples are: questions and discussions<br> about a person’s sexual life; touching a person in a sexual way; commenting on someone’s sexual attractiveness or sexual<br> unattractiveness; persisting in asking for a date after having been refused; telling a woman she belongs at home or is not suited<br> for a particular job; eyeing someone in a suggestive way; displaying cartoons or posters of a sexual nature; clothing or tattoos<br> displaying images of a sexual nature, obscene jokes, suggestive comments, and writing sexually suggestive letters or notes, including<br> emails or texts; and offensive, obscene or persistent phone calls. | ||
| **** | Sexual harassment is frequently more about the abuse of power than sex. It often<br> occurs in situations where there is unequal power between the people involved and is an attempt by one person to assert power over<br> the other. Harassment can also occur when an individual is in a vulnerable position because he or she is in the minority. | ||
| **** | Persons flirting with each other or becoming involved in a romantic or sexual<br> relationship are not harassing each other, as long as the relationship is consensual and none of the elements of sexual harassment,<br> discussed above, are present. If one of the individuals changes her or his mind, and the other person persists in trying to continue<br> the relationship, then the conduct can quickly become harassment and would fall within the behaviour prohibited by this standard. | ||
| Discriminatory Harassment Guidance | Discriminatory harassment is any harassment directed against any person on the<br> basis of that person’s age, ancestry, citizenship, colour, family status, gender identity, gender expression, marital status,<br> physical or mental disability, place of origin, race, religion or creed, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or any other<br> status protected by applicable laws. | ||
| **** | Some examples of discriminatory harassment may include racial or ethnic slurs,<br> innuendos concerning a person’s age, marital status, sexual orientation, ethnic or racial origin, religion, or disability;<br> sexist, racist, ethnic, religious or hate graffiti or symbols, offensive posters, and e-mails or screen savers mimicking someone<br> with a disability. | ||

| Respectful<br>Workplace Standard | |||
| Other Harassment Guidance | Disrespectful behaviour, also known as “personal” harassment, is<br> also covered by this standard. While it also involves unwelcome behaviour that demeans or embarrasses an individual, the behaviour<br> is not based on unlawful discrimination or is not sexual in nature. It includes patronizing or condescending behaviour, such as humiliating<br> a person in front of co-workers and practical jokes that offend, embarrass or insult someone. This type of harassment can create<br> a “poisoned work environment” where employees do not feel safe or comfortable or feel humiliated or demeaned. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 4.2 | Resolution | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Suncor Personnel may choose to resolve harassment issues informally or formally<br> using the following methods below: | |||
| --- | --- | ||
| Informal Resolution | While harassment has no place in a Suncor workplace, it may well be unintentional.<br> Silence can be, and often is, interpreted as acceptance. | ||
| 1. | Direct Approach – Sometimes the best way of dealing with harassment may be to inform the<br> harasser that the particular behaviour is unwelcome, and to ask that it stop. Often, a person<br> may not be aware that his or her behaviour is inappropriate and will change the behaviour<br> once they realize this. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 2. | Informal Intervention – It may be that communicating directly with the person is not enough,<br> or that a person feels unable to deal with him or her directly. In that case, Suncor Personnel<br> can speak to their leader, a more senior leader, or HR representative. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| These informal methods are optional and depending on the situation, the individual<br> may want to file a formal complaint immediately. If attempts at informal resolution fail, Suncor Personnel may still file a formal<br> complaint. | |||
| --- | |||
| Note: Suncor reserves the right to conduct a formal investigation into<br> all incidents and complaints of workplace harassment that may be appropriate in the circumstances, including in cases of informal<br> intervention. | |||
| --- | |||
| Formal Resolution | If the informal procedures described above are<br> not appropriate or the behaviour continues: | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 1 | Suncor<br> Personnel may take their concerns to their leader to file a formal complaint. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 2 | If<br> Suncor Personnel cannot discuss the issue with their leader, or they are dissatisfied with<br> the results, they should consult with a more senior leader, a HR director, or contact the<br> Suncor Integrity Hotline. | ||

| 5.1 | Requirements and Guidance | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Requirement | Suncor values safety above all else. Suncor does not tolerate any forms of violence<br> and is committed to taking reasonable measures to eliminate or, if that is not reasonably practicable, control the hazard of workplace<br> violence. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Guidance | Workplace violence includes, but is not limited to: | ||
| · | The<br> threatened, attempted, or actual conduct of a person that causes or is likely to cause physical<br> or psychological injury or harm to a person, and includes domestic or sexual violence (e.g.,<br> hitting, shoving, pushing, kicking, sexual assault); | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| · | Any<br> threat, behaviour or action which is interpreted to carry the potential to harm or endanger<br> the safety of others, result in an act of aggression, or destroy or damage property; | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| · | Disruptive<br> behaviour that is not appropriate to the work environment, e.g. yelling or swearing; and | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| · | Other<br> threatening or intimidating behavior such as following someone home from work, possession<br> of weapons, ammunition, explosives (except such items used in the course of employment),<br> any threat or attempt to initiate or participate in violence vandalism or malicious acts<br> against the personal property of any person. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 5.2 | Resolution | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Workplace Violence | In the event that any Suncor Personnel experiences an act of violence, they<br> are encouraged to: | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 1. | Immediate<br> Assistance – obtain immediate assistance by calling 911 (as appropriate) or the emergency<br> number on the back of their Suncor access card (if applicable); and | ||

| 5.3 | Violence Prevention Procedures | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Security | Most Suncor sites are staffed with security personnel and the entry into Suncor<br> workplaces is generally controlled and monitored through the use of security access cards. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 1. | Suncor<br> Personnel can contact security in the event of an emergency, generally by referring to the<br> phone numbers listed on the back of each security access card. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 2. | In<br> addition, in the event that Suncor becomes aware of a persistent threat of violence or a<br> specific threat of violence, Suncor will take reasonable steps to inform those Suncor Personnel<br> affected or potentially affected by such threat of violence and the measures being taken<br> to eliminate or control such threat. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 6 | Investigations and Reporting | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 6.1 | Requirements and Guidance | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Requirements | The following provide the requirements when an<br> investigation takes place related to an incident of discrimination, harassment, or violence. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 1. | All<br> discrimination, harassment and violence incidents will be investigated in accordance with<br> the Standards of Business Conduct - Investigation Standard and this document. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 2. | In<br> any investigation, Suncor will not disclose the circumstances related to an incident of discrimination,<br> harassment or violence or the names of the complainant, the person alleged to have committed<br> the discrimination, harassment or violence, and any witnesses, except: | ||
| --- | --- | ||

| 6.2 | Investigation Process | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| Steps | Once an investigator has been assigned the following<br> steps will be completed: | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 4. | Step 1: Investigation - The investigator will collect all relevant information and facts in<br> respect of the incident. The complainant will be asked to provide and maintain all relevant<br> information and facts including dates, times, places, names (including witnesses) and other<br> details relating to the incident(s). The investigation will include, where appropriate, written<br> statements outlining names, dates, times of the offence(s), the nature of the alleged discrimination,<br> harassment or violence, any potential witnesses and the form of correction or redress sought<br> through the complaint. The investigator will, with suitable sensitivity and the protection<br> of the parties in mind, conduct individual interviews with all involved parties and document<br> all discussions. The investigator will prepare a written report that documents all relevant<br> information and facts in respect of the incident. All parties will keep confidential any<br> information discussed. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 1. | Step 2: Legal Review – The investigator will compile a report. It will be reviewed by<br> the Human Resources director and the Legal Affairs department, who will then decide on the<br> appropriate next steps. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 2. | Step 3: Resolution – Once a decision has been reached, the results of the investigation<br> will be communicated to the appropriate parties as soon as reasonably practicable. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| 3. | Step 4: Implementation – Any measures or corrective actions that have been identified<br> as a result of any investigation shall be implemented as soon as practicable. | ||
| --- | --- | ||
| If there is insufficient evidence to substantiate the claim of discrimination,<br> harassment or violence, the complainant and the respondent (if applicable) will be so informed. Those involved will also be informed<br> that the documentation on the incident will be retained by the Human Resources Department on a separate confidential file (not on<br> the individual's personnel file), and in the event that there are other claims of a similar nature in the future, the case may be<br> reopened. | |||
| --- | |||
| Where there is sufficient evidence to substantiate the claim of discrimination,<br> harassment or violence, Suncor will take appropriate disciplinary or other action, up to and including termination of employment<br> and reporting to the appropriate authorities. | |||
| Allegations of discrimination, harassment and violence are taken very seriously<br> by Suncor and as such, the investigations are thorough. No retaliation or reprisals will be tolerated against any individual who,<br> in good faith, complains of, reports, or participates in the investigation of any incident of alleged discrimination, harassment<br> or violence. However, should a deliberately false claim be made against an individual, then the person making the false claim will<br> be subject to disciplinary action. | |||
| Suncor Personnel involved either directly or indirectly in an incident of discrimination,<br> harassment or violence are advised to use Suncor’s Employee and Family Assistance Program for counselling. Any person<br> suffering an injury or adverse symptom resulting from an incident of discrimination, harassment or violence is also advised to consult<br> a health professional for appropriate treatment. | |||
