Our corporate responsibility. - ARC Resources Ltd.

Management ApproachThe strategic management of corporate responsibility is shared among numerous corporate groups:HSE, Human Resources, Corporate Services, Investor Relations, Land and Operations. These groupshave a mandate to provide strategic-level support to ARC’s senior management team. The dailymanagement of corporate responsibility commitments and implementation of programs is led by ARC’ssenior officer and management teams. Our approach incorporates management systems (e.g., HSEManagement System), regular audits, and corrective action tracking.PoliciesWe have adopted a range of mandatory policies to govern our behaviour and ensure ethical and responsibleoperations. One of our primary mechanisms for ensuring ethical conduct is our Code of Business Conductand Ethics, which is described in the Employee section of this report. In addition to a wide-ranging Health,Safety and Environment Policy, we adhere to internally developed policies addressing: harassment anddiscrimination; compensation, benefits and leave; and whistleblower protection.Stakeholder EngagementStakeholder engagement is at the heart of corporate responsibility. We need to understand what ourstakeholders care about so we can mutually develop beneficial solutions. The traditional definition ofstakeholder is along the lines of “one who can be affected by or can affect a company’s operations.”This covers almost everyone. To engage in a more pragmatic manner we have categorized our primarystakeholders as: unitholders; employees; landowners and community members; governments;regulators; and suppliers and other business partners. We engage with any party that is interested inour company and its activities.Political Activities and ContributionsOur Code governs the political activities and contributions of employees and of the corporation. ARCdoes not contribute funds to any political parties in Canada or abroad. ARC participates in publicpolicy debate on the federal and provincial level on subjects such as greenhouse gas legislation,provincial royalties and proposed changes to the tax regime for trusts.The following sections describe how ARC tackles the areas we see as integral to operatingresponsibly. Each section presents the related commitments we have made, our managementapproach, select management issues, and our performance on select indicators.82Corporate Responsibility
