IN MAY 2009, AT ENBRIDGE’S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING IN TORONTO, Enbridge’s former President & CEO, Patrick D. Daniel, announced an ambitious plan to stabilize Enbridge’s environmental footprint at January 2009 levels. Enbridge’s Neutral Footprint commitments are the result of that vision. They are designed to reduce the company’s environmental impact where it is felt most: on the trees we remove, the natural habitat we permanently impact, and the energy we consume to power our operations, within five years of the impacts occurring.
