Environmental Challenges

  • Scope 3 emissions representing the majority of the company's GHG emissions are not included in the KPI 1 target.
  • Limited information available for comparison against past performance for KPI 1.
  • Limited information available for comparison against issuer's sectorial peer group for KPI 2.
  • Risks to maintaining consistent women's representation on the Board of Directors due to the limited number of board members and potential retirements/departures.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Enbridge is working on a roadmap to reduce Scope 3 emissions and has implemented several projects (Green Hydrogen, Renewable Natural Gas, CNG buses).
  • Enbridge calibrated SPT 2 based on an assessment of internal diversity representation and compared this data with external labor market availability studies and demographic projections.
  • Enbridge's Governance Committee is responsible for developing a Board composition plan, including a process for identifying and considering potential director candidates and recommending the nomination of directors to the Board and Board committees.
