OVERVIEW
AN ENBRIDGE PRIORITY
Enbridge was recognized at the 2005 World Economic Forum in
Davos, Switzerland as one of the Global 100: Most Sustainable
Corporations in the World. Enbridge is one of only six Canadian
companies to make the list, and as a leader in energy transportation
and distribution, corporate social responsibility has always been
a priority. Thanks to our over 4,500 employees, that priority is put
into practice every day.
This report succeeds our 2001, 2002 and 2003 Environment, Health and Safety Reports and our 2004 Corporate Social
Responsibility Report. Although our environment, health and safety performance continues to be an important focus
of this report, we have expanded coverage to more fully discuss our economic and social impacts and contributions.
Our target audience consists of investor analysts, shareholders, government leaders, regulators, employees, business
partners and local communities where we operate. This report is supplemented by our annual financial reports, which
include more detailed information on economic aspects of our business activities.
All of Enbridge's four main businesses - Liquids Pipelines, Gas Pipelines, Enbridge Gas Distribution and our
U.S. Natural Gas Business - are included in this report, which covers 2004 and the early part of 2005. Wherever
possible, we have also included information about the activities of Enbridge International. The indicators used in this
report have been chosen with a view to monitoring our company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments.
Changes from the previous year in measurement methods used to prepare this report have been footnoted in our
summary of performance indicators.
We have prepared this report in a way that meets the "in accordance" specifications set forth by the Global
Reporting Initiative's 2002 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. We have received important stakeholder input from
various sources: investor surveys, employee forums, customer research and public consultation activities. The various
drafts of this report have been reviewed by the members of Enbridge's CSR Advisory Committee, a cross-functional
group of senior staff who provide advice to the corporate leadership team on CSR policies and strategies.
To achieve ongoing improvement, selected information and indicators have been subject to an internal review
by our Audit Services Department.
