Calgary, July 27, 2022 - Baytex Energy Corp. (TSX: BTE) today released its 2021 Environment, Social and Governance ("ESG") Report, which demonstrates our commitment to transparency and accountability, and shows our progress in managing the environmental and social impacts of our business. Baytex has also released its inaugural Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD") Report. Both reports are available on the Baytex website at www.baytexenergy.com. "We are pleased to share Baytex's ESG Report and our inaugural TCFD Report. Since 2012, we have proudly reported on our activities to reduce our environmental impacts, promote the safety and well-being of employees, contractors, and communities, and ensure effective governance. We remain focused on key ESG initiatives, including GHG emissions, abandonment and reclamation, strong and mutually beneficial indigenous community relations, safety, and climate risk management. Our focus on ESG is essential to drive sustainable outcomes and long-term viability, alongside shareholder returns," commented Ed LaFehr, President and Chief Executive Officer. 2021 Highlights
This year's report marks Baytex's sixth ESG report and our second year publishing this report annually. Our 2021 disclosures on our ESG performance are guided by three reporting frameworks: the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We also engaged a independent third-party to verify our 2021 reported GHG emissions data. TCFD Report Baytex has been reporting climate-related information since 2018, when the TCFD first published its reporting framework. We have expanded our disclosure this year with our inaugural stand-a-lone TCFD report. Highlights from the 2021 report include:
