Our Social Performance

HUMAN RIGHTS

Enbridge is committed to observing and promoting human rights in our activities. We demonstrate our attitudes and values through the way we conduct our business and make human rights a priority.

In Colombia, Enbridge owns 24.7% of OCENSA, a consortium that runs one of that country's most important crude oil pipelines. OCENSA has a policy that commits the company to respect human rights and obligates all employees and contractors to reject violence and to avoid association with any of the illegal armed groups fuelling Colombia's internal conflict. To implement the policy, OCENSA carries out regular human rights training of employees, contractors and army personnel involved in protecting the pipeline. In 2004, OCENSA hired Costa Rica's Center for Studies in Human Rights to conduct human rights training for employees, contractors and military personnel. In 2004, 850 military personnel were trained.
