[SID_255] Risk Factors In 2023, E3 procured a minimal amount of products, equipment and services from outside of Canada, the United States and Europe
[SID_255] The risk during the period was very low
[SID_255] Based on E3s review of its supply chain, the Company believes the greatest risk of forced labour and child labour in its supply chain originates from products and equipment sourced outside of Canada, the United States and Europe
[SID_255] The Company plans to engage with critical Suppliers (particularly those who import goods) to confirm their understanding of the Act and to understand how they intend to comply with the requirements
[SID_255] E3 recognizes that the risks of forced labour and child labour are increased in certain high-risk areas, including: sectors reliant on low-skilled labour, often vulnerable to exploitative practices; dangerous or undesirable roles more likely to involve coercion; migrant workers at risk due to language barriers, uncertain legal status, and isolation; labour brokers or intermediaries that may obscure exploitative employment practices; manufacturing or production in regions with lax labour laws or enforcement, posing a higher risk; extended supply chains lacking transparency, complicating oversight and increasing the likelihood of labour abuses; industries and regions known for prevalent child labour and forced labour; and risks exacerbated by poverty and conflict
[SID_255] E3 will consider in the future, additional ways to monitor and improve interactions with its employees and Suppliers, especially those in sectors potentially at higher risk of labour exploitation
[SID_255] Risk Management Strategy E3 understands that the risks associated with modern slavery are complex and ever-changing
[SID_255] The potential elimination of forced labour and child labour requires ongoing diligence
[SID_255] We are committed to continuously identifying and addressing these risks within our business, and will consider in the future how we might refine our policies further to help combat forced labour and child labour
[SID_255] Measures Taken to Remediate Forced Labour or Child Labour and Loss of Income E3 has not identified any instances of forced labour or child labour in its operations or supply chain
[SID_255] As a result, it has not had to take any measures to remediate any forced labour or child labour
[SID_255] E3 acknowledges that efforts to prevent and reduce forced labor and child labor can unintentionally impact the income of vulnerable families
[SID_255] However, there have been no identified or reported instances where our measures to eliminate forced or child labor have led to income loss for these families within our activities and supply chains
[SID_255] Should E3 identify incidents of forced labour or child labour, it may have the option of the following responses: taking actions to halt the identified practices and initiate an investigation to fully understand the issue; DocuSign Envelope ID: 2F9DFB1C-8F09-41B3-9BD1-BA80C667BAA0
[SID_255] taking measures to ensure the well-being of impacted individuals, focusing on their safety and immediate needs; discussing with relevant parties, including Suppliers, the formulation and execution of a corrective action plan to address underlying causes and prevent recurrence; and conducting a review of associated policies and procedures to identify and implement enhancements that could strengthen its preventive strategies against forced labour and child labour
[SID_255] VI
[SID_255] Employee Training When onboarding new employees, and annually for existing employees, E3 provides training regarding our safety commitments
[SID_255] Employees are provided E3s employee handbook, which includes polices outlined in the policy section above and requires annual sign-off
[SID_255] E3 is also committed to improving the capacity of our employees to understand, identify and manage the risks of modern slavery in our operations and across our supply chains
[SID_255] E3 will consider in the future, mandatory training modules for new employees to familiarize them with E3s core principles and guidelines
[SID_255] VII
[SID_255] Assessment of Effectiveness E3 will explore in the future, additional ways to maintain standards of ethics and integrity, which are reflected in its policies referenced above
[SID_255] Review and Response E3 is evaluating how to address concerns raised through these channels, including taking necessary actions to resolve identified issues
[SID_255] These actions may include implementing corrective measures, adjusting policies, or providing additional training to prevent recurrence
[SID_255] E3s ongoing evaluation of its governance and compliance processes reflects its interest in upholding ethical business practices and the welfare of its employees and supply chain partners
[SID_255] Board Oversight E3 will dedicate a line item at a meeting of its corporate governance committee, a sub-committee to the board of directors with board oversight to improving its policies and procedures for identifying and tackling forced labour and child labour in its operations and supply chain

[SID_256] Canada Fighting Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act Report 2023 3 Policies and due diligence processes bp supports the elimination of forced labour and child labour in line with the International Labour Organization Core Conventions on Rights at Workb
[SID_256] This type of exploitation is contrary to our commitment to respecting the rights of our workforce
[SID_256] Each of the Reporting Entities is a member of the bp group of companies and is required to conduct its activities in conformance with the bp group policies and procedures applicable to their activities
[SID_256] These policies and procedures set expectations of our interactions within bp, and with external partners, suppliers, and communities where we operate
[SID_256] We describe here a framework of policies and controls underlying the activities undertaken by the Reporting Entities in 2023 and relating to mapping, assessing, developing and implementing the due diligence processes related to identifying and addressing labour rights and modern slavery (LRMS) risks in our supply chains
[SID_256] Our processes for assessing and managing modern slavery risks are risk-prioritized globally based on geography and work activity
[SID_256] Since the business activities of the Reporting Entities in Canada and the United States are in many areas lower-risk for modern slavery, relative to business activities in some other geographies, specic actions pursuant to these processes taken for the Reporting Entities business activities may accordingly be relatively limited
[SID_256] b In this report we also refer in places to modern slavery
[SID_256] This is a term used in policy and law, for example in the UK Modern Slavery Act, to describe forms of exploitation that constitute serious violations of human rights, including forced labour, human tracking, and child labour
[SID_256] Canada Fighting Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act Report 2023 4 Key controls supporting modern slavery prevention bp group control Description How it supports mitigation of modern slavery risks Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy Establishes principles and expectations for how we work
[SID_256] Code of Conduct underpins and reinforces our Human Rights Policy
[SID_256] These policies apply to all employees
[SID_256] These policies reference recognized human rights and core labour standards as established by International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organizations Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work
[SID_256] In addition to requiring employees to report human rights abuses, we expect them, and encourage contractors, communities and other third-parties, to speak up if they see something they feel to be potentially unsafe, unethical, or harmful
[SID_256] The policies are supported by a variety of channels to facilitate this speak up culture, such as line managers, supporting teams, ethics and compliance, human resources, or via bp's condential helpline OpenTalk
[SID_256] bp Labour Rights & Modern Slavery (LRMS) Principles The principles are intended to assist our businesses as they work to check performance against our expectations relating to LRMS
[SID_256] Lays out our expectation that workers in our operations and supply chains are not subject to abusive or inhumane practices, such as child labour, forced labour, tracking, slavery or servitude, discrimination, or harassment
[SID_256] Other bp key controls and policies in the LRMS space align with these principles and expectations
[SID_256] Operating Management System (OMS) Governs our activities where bp operates
[SID_256] Our OMS provides a framework for delivering safe, reliable, and compliant operations in bp
[SID_256] It brings together bp requirements on health, safety, security, environment, social performance (including LRMS) and operational reliability, as well as related areas such as maintenance, working with contractors and organizational learning, into a common management system
[SID_256] Procurement and Supply Chain Management Processes Supports procurement minimum standards, methodology, vendor vetting and management processes
[SID_256] Applies to bp procurement activities
[SID_256] Sets out expectations on how bp procures goods and services in relation to LRMS due diligence
[SID_256] Supported by training and guidance to build awareness on LRMS risks and how to engage with suppliers
[SID_256] Counterparty Due Diligence Sets minimum KYC (Know Your Counterpart) requirements to contract with any third party wishing to do business with bp
[SID_256] Risk assessment and due diligence of third-parties bp contracts with, that includes corporate structure vetting, assessment of sanctions, criminal activity, negative media coverage for reputational risks (including modern slavery), assignment of risk rating and ongoing dynamic monitoring for updates and red ags
[SID_256] The Group Investment Assurance and Approvals Process (GIAAP) Governs the evaluation, documentation, and approval of investment projects
[SID_256] For projects above pre-determined thresholds, sustainability professionals are included in the assurance process, to assess impacts and opportunities, including LRMS risks, arising from the proposed investments
[SID_256] Canada Fighting Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act Report 2023 5 Assessing and managing our risk bp has taken a risk-based approach to the assessment and identication of modern slavery in our businesses and supply chains, based on business activity, country risk and workforce demographics
[SID_256] Assessment tools and approach We use external labour rights and modern slavery (LRMS) data sources, such as Maplecroft risk indices, to generate risk heatmaps for the countries in which we operate
[SID_256] Each country is then categorized as being either low, medium, or highrisk
[SID_256] Canada is identied as low risk by Maplecroft
[SID_256] Country level risk is used in conjunction with the scope of work conducted and workforce composition to perform risk assessments
[SID_256] Risk assessment is included as a requirement in our operating management system (OMS) processes
[SID_256] This approach intends to enable our businesses to determine any further due diligence or actions required to adequately mitigate supply chain LRMS risks
[SID_256] Our operating businesses are working towards conformance with this requirement
[SID_256] Within the trading & shipping organization, based on an assessment of risk, scale and value, certain investment or divestment cases are required to include an assessment of alignment with bps sustainability frame and the identication of any material sustainability-related impacts and risks, including those related to LRMS, prior to any authority being granted to take the case forward
[SID_256] Supplier due diligence Before contracts are awarded through our procurement teams processes, we consider suppliers scope of work, location, and workforce composition
[SID_256] This helps us conduct risk assessment and prioritize our due diligence activities
[SID_256] In 2023, as part of the pre-contract assessment, high-risk suppliers were required to provide our procurement teams with evidence that they have implemented appropriate policies, processes, and practices to manage LRMS risks
[SID_256] This includes reviewing contractors policies and procedures against LRMS indicators such as recruitment practices, pay and rest periods
[SID_256] High-risk suppliers are also expected to demonstrate that they have shared these with their workforce
[SID_256] This approach enables us to assess whether suppliers can meet our LRMS expectations
[SID_256] In addition to pre-contract due diligence of new suppliers, LRMS risk assessments are ongoing across the bp groups current global supplier base
[SID_256] OMS requires our businesses to carry out contractor risk assessments and regular monitoring activities, which form a key part of our routine due diligence
[SID_256] We supplement the risk assessment processes with information sourced through our speak up channels
[SID_256] Where our assessments and monitoring activities identify gaps or concerns, we work with suppliers to devise prioritized corrective action plans to make ongoing improvements and review their performance during contract review meetings
[SID_256] Canada Fighting Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act Report 2023 6 Remediation measures/assessing eectiveness We encourage a speak up culture among employees and with our contractors and suppliers in their work for us
[SID_256] Concerns can be raised through OpenTalk, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and in 75 languages
[SID_256] Concerns can be raised anonymously from most locations, including Canada and the United States, and reports are kept condential to the fullest extent possible, consistent with law and good business practices
[SID_256] Concerns are taken seriously and bp does not tolerate retaliation of any kind
[SID_256] If we nd that we have caused or directly contributed to adverse impacts on workforce rights, we are committed to provide for, or cooperate in, the remediation of those impacts and work with our contractors and suppliers to encourage them to do the same, in line with our human rights policy
[SID_256] As stated in the policy, we do not impede access to state-based judicial processes or require individuals to permanently waive their legal right to bring a claim through a judicial process as a precondition of raising a grievance through a bp grievance mechanism
[SID_256] Where adverse impacts are directly linked to our activities through our business relationships, we will support our business partners in the remediation of those impacts through their own grievance management processes, or support collaboration to provide for non-judicial remediation through third-parties
[SID_256] The Reporting Entities are also in the process of creating and rening a framework to assess the eectiveness of our approach to LRMS risk management for these entities and reporting under the Act
[SID_256] Training Code of Conduct training is mandatory for all bp employees
[SID_256] bp group also makes available training for use by bp businesses including the Reporting Entities, designed to develop and build the capability needed to eectively identify and manage LRMS risks
[SID_256] This training focuses on three specic needs: (i) raising awareness of LRMS issues amongst employees across bp; (ii) building capability to meet our LRMS due diligence requirements through targeted training for specic groups of employees, for example, certain procurement and contracting teams; and (iii) developing the specialist skills required by a small group of employees to carry out more in-depth LRMS due diligence
