Integrating sustainability
Our sustainable business strategy
We strive to be the first-choice energy delivery company in North America and beyond—for customers, communities, investors, regulators, policymakers and employees. Over the last two decades, we have developed a diversified portfolio across both conventional and lower-carbon sources of energy.
Our strategy, which is underpinned by a deep understanding of jurisdictional, North American and global energy fundamentals, focuses on positioning our Company for resiliency and long-term growth. We execute this strategy through disciplined capital allocation aligned with our outlook on energy markets and a continued focus on responsible business practices. We strive to embed sustainability into our business and continue to adapt as energy markets evolve. Learn more about our strategy in our Strategic Plan and our 2025 Annual Report.

A conversation with our CSO and Sustainability Committee Chair
Pete Sheffield and Susan Cunningham.
To mark 25 years of sustainability reporting, Enbridge launches its first Sustainability Report Podcast.
Host Mike Fernandez, SVP Public Affairs, Communications and Sustainability and Chief Communications Officer, sits down with Chief Sustainability Officer & Vice President External Affairs Pete Sheffield and Susan Cunningham, Chair, Sustainability Committee of the Board, to explore how sustainability is embedded in strategy, operations, and governance.
Together, they discuss progress, challenges, and what it takes to deliver reliable, affordable energy while strengthening trust, accountability, and long-term resilience across Enbridge’s diverse energy businesses today.
“Sustainability isn’t an add-on; it’s how we plan, operate, invest and govern.”
Sustainability reporting and governance
We have enhanced our sustainability reporting practices over the past 25 years. Each year, we aim to improve clarity, consistency and data quality across our sustainability reporting documents. To incorporate external perspectives, we conduct a formal materiality1 assessment every two years, review our material1 topics annually, and continually monitor our operating environment for emerging issues that may affect our business, including our sustainability reporting practices.
Our prioritization process
To gain insight into the issues of greatest importance to our business, our shareholders and our stakeholders, we carried out a double materiality1 assessment in 2025. We assessed sustainability topics through a dual lens: the impact that these topics have on the Company and the Company’s impact on the economy, people and the environment. The Sustainability Committee of the Board of Directors (Board) reviewed the results of this assessment.
Sustainability governance
Oversight of sustainability matters is integrated into the responsibilities of the Board and all five of our Board committees. This governance structure promotes accountability, supports our progress against sustainability goals and enables continuous improvement.
