Environment

WildHorse believes that, while production and costs are certainly critical to the well being of the Company, these considerations must never take precedence over protection of the environment in which we operate and the safety & health of the workplace environment for our employees. As a responsible corporate citizen, it is our commitment to: minimize detrimental impacts to the environment from our operations; provide a safe and healthy workplace environment for our employees; and, be a positive contributor to social & economic environment for the local people where we operate.

To achieve these Policy objectives, WildHorse will:

• Assess, and address in decision-making, the potential environmental impacts associated with a project over its full life cycle---including pre-development, construction, operation, closure and post-closure.Responsibly and ethically manage our relationships with the communities in which we operate.
• Identify, assess, measure and manage environmental risks and rigorously apply accepted safeguards, at every stage of a project’s life cycle, including operational products.
• Comply with applicable governmental environmental laws and regulations; and in jurisdictions where such are absent or inadequate, apply good industry practices to avoid, minimize, mitigate or remediate environmental impacts.
• Communicate the importance of these environmental protection measures to our employees, contractors, suppliers, investors, partners and other relevant stakeholders.
• Review the effectiveness of environmental protection and management programs, and act on the results, to achieve continual improvement in the Company’s environmental performance.
• Use resources efficiently; and, promote new, safe, efficient technology in the Company’s operations.

Communities

Communities are of paramount importance to our operations as they are most often our first point of contact. They are also a vital source of employees for our workforce. In keeping with the philosophies of accepted sustainable development practices, we pay close attention to a community’s economic, social and environmental needs and expectations. Respect for the communities in which we operate is demonstrated through our efforts to build strong and long-term relationships with governments, suppliers, local partners, neighbours and employees.

To promote a positive community environment, WildHorse Energy will:

• Responsibly and ethically manage our relationships with the communities in which we operate.
• Recognise that communities and the environment are interdependent; and, be accountable for the effects and potential consequences our actions have on both.
• Value cultural heritage, respect the traditional rights of indigenous peoples, acknowledge and accommodate cultural differences, preferences and lifestyles.
• Promote open, honest communication with people in the communities where we operate and consider their perceptions, opinions and concerns in our decision-making, throughout the life cycle of our operations.
• Advance the sustainable development of host communities by forming local partnerships and improving economic benefits.
• Advocate the responsible use and management of our products and by-products throughout the life of the project.
