Voluntary Standards

At Enbridge, we believe that helping to improve the social well-being of communities where our employees live and work is key to our success. In the last few years, we have joined the ranks of companies worldwide in adopting voluntary codes of conduct for social responsibility.

In 2003, Enbridge became a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, a voluntary code that brings companies together with UN agencies, labour organizations and civil society to advance responsible corporate citizenship. Its ten principles address best practices in human rights, labour and environmental issues. Our participation in this forum will enable our company to improve our knowledge and experience in developing socially responsible business practices and to share our experiences with other companies and organizations.

Our company also endorses the internationally recognized Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. These principles deal with responsible corporate action in "zones of conflict" and are especially relevant to our business involvement in Colombia, where we own 24% of and operate the OCENSA pipeline.
