### PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY
Our Operating Model

Becoming best in the world and best for the world includes having great corporate governance, competitive compensation and excellent shareholder relations. To achieve this, we’ve developed an operating model that is memorable, sustainable, and actionable by all employees to ensure it drives the behaviors that help us reach our aspiration.

Our Aspiration

#### Best in the world and best for the world
At DTE (“DTE Energy,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), we aspire to be best in the world and best for the world. This aspiration drives everything we do, including our priorities for serving each of our stakeholders: Our Team, Customers, Communities, and Investors. Our stakeholder priorities drive our daily, monthly and annual plans which help us to achieve this aspiration. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) evaluates our Company’s and executives’ performance based upon goals that align to our priorities for each of our stakeholders, and we will refer to these stakeholders as we discuss DTE’s performance and our compensation programs throughout this proxy statement.

Our Purpose

#### We improve lives with our energy
At DTE, the word energy has two meanings – our products and our personal energy. Each employee can reflect on our purpose each day and ask themselves “How did I improve lives today with my energy?”

Our Strategy

#### Distinctive service excellence and growth
To achieve our aspiration to be best in the world and best for the world, we’ve developed a strategy based on distinctive service excellence and growth focusing on three key areas: who we serve, how we serve and how we lead.
