Leadership perspectives on Enbridge’s 2025 Sustainability Report and how sustainability continues to shape the business
Today marks an important milestone for Enbridge: the release of our 25th Sustainability Report. For a quarter century, we’ve been sharing how we operate safely, support communities, reduce environmental impacts, and govern our business responsibly, an approach that continues to evolve and strengthen each year.
This year, we are also introducing something new: a podcast that brings the report to life. While the report provides detailed data and analysis, the podcast offers context, perspective and, most importantly, the voices behind the work. It is an opportunity to hear directly from our leadership on why this work matters.
In the episode, Chief Sustainability Officer Pete Sheffield and Susan Cunningham, Chair of the Board’s Sustainability Committee, join Chief Communications Officer Mike Fernandez to reflect on what sustainability means at Enbridge today and how, after 25 years, it’s embedded in how we plan, operate and make decisions every day. Listen to the conversation here.
A key message from the conversation is that the role of sustainability has evolved at Enbridge. As Mr. Sheffield explains, it’s no longer only about reporting performance; it’s about running the business with sustainability embedded in decision making. As he puts it, “Sustainability has moved from reporting about the business to being an integral part of how the business approaches non-financial risk.”
From the Board’s perspective, time and consistency are critical. Ms. Cunningham notes that 25 years of continuous reporting, analysis and measurement have built trust and credibility, allowing stakeholders to track progress over time, hold the company accountable and enable informed long-term decision-making.
The conversation touches on many of the key themes in this year’s report, including areas of progress for Enbridge, like infrastructure modernization, new technologies, and ongoing collaboration with communities and Indigenous partners.
There’s also no shying away from the big picture, global-scale themes around energy. As the participants discuss, meeting growing energy demand while continuing to lower emissions will not follow a simple or linear path: it’s a complex journey in need of complex solutions. The discussion highlights how energy systems are evolving, and maintaining reliability and affordability remains a focus.
As Ms. Cunningham says, sustainability reporting is not just a disclosure exercise—it’s a practical tool that helps the company understand risk, measure performance and prepare for a range of future scenarios.
The podcast certainly doesn’t replace the report. It’s intended to make complex topics more accessible and to add leadership perspectives to the report.
After 25 years, sustainability is part of how our business is planned, operated and governed at Enbridge every day. And this year, we’re also sharing that story more directly through the voices of our leadership.
Why Enbridge’s 25th Sustainability Report matters:
- It reflects 25 years of transparent reporting, providing investors and stakeholders with a consistent way to track progress, performance and accountability over time.
- It shows how sustainability is embedded in how Enbridge operates, shapes decisions, governance, and long-term resilience.
- It supports stronger understanding of risk and future readiness by explaining how the company plans for change across energy systems, markets, and communities.
- It’s supported by a new podcast that brings forward perspectives from our Chief Sustainability Officer and Chair of the Sustainability Committee of the Board.
