Our Social Performance

BUSINESS ETHICS

We are committed to following world-class standards of business integrity everywhere we operate. Our Statement on Business Conduct defines the business principles that apply to all employees, contractors, senior management and Board members of Enbridge. This statement not only complies with legislated requirements, but sets out specific commitments that apply to Enbridge's relations with customers, shareholders, governments and the public.

Each new employee is required to sign a certificate acknowledging having received and read the statement. Employees and directors are required each year to review the statement and certify compliance or identify any departures from the statement. Compliance with this statement is monitored and reported annually to the Board's Governance Committee.

In 2004, to meet the requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we introduced new procedures for a financial "whistleblowers" hotline, which provides employees with an anonymous channel for asking questions or expressing concerns about internal accounting and auditing matters.

At Enbridge, there are no dividing lines between good business practices and being a responsible company — one that is ethical, is a steward of the environment, is safe, engages its stakeholders and is attentive to social needs.
