Enbridge Inc.’s approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and its CSR performance is detailed in the Company’s 2006 Corporate Social Responsibility Report. The report, which reviews Enbridge’s environmental, economic and social performance, was once again written in compliance with the guidelines outlined in the Global Reporting Initiative’s Sustainability Reporting Guidelines as in prior years. In addition, the report was reviewed by Enbridge’s Employee Advisory Committee and Disclosure Committee, as well as by an external panel of CSR experts from a variety of organizations and agencies in Canada and the United States. Selected information and indicators in the report were subjected to an internal review by Enbridge’s Audit Services Department.

Enbridge continues to invest in communities where the Company operates, primarily in health, social services, education, the environment, arts and culture, and civic leadership. For the seventh year in a row, Enbridge was recognized by the United Way and Centraide as a recipient of their Thanks a Million Award for raising more than $1 million for United Way and Centraide campaigns in Canada. Also in 2006, Enbridge Inc. qualified as an Imagine Canada Caring Company, donating 1 per cent of pre-tax Canadian earnings to Canadian causes and communities.

As part of its commitment to CSR, Enbridge also is investing in renewable energy resources, including wind power and fuel cells. The Company is currently involved, through Enbridge Income Fund, in three operating wind power projects in Western Canada, and one that Enbridge Inc. plans to build in Ontario. The four projects will have a combined capacity of more than 270 megawatts. That’s enough electricity to meet the power requirements of more than 100,000 homes.
