Enbridge Posts 2013 Annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report Following 2013 Annual Report

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - April 15, 2014) - Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) today published its 2013 annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report (csr.enbridge.com/Downloads) which provides a comprehensive overview of the Company's governance, environmental, social and economic performance in 2013. This report is being posted following Enbridge's 2013 Annual Report, which was issued on March 27, to more closely align the reporting of the Company's financial information with the reporting of its social, economic and environmental performance.

Included in the 2013 CSR Report are the subjects that Enbridge, based on stakeholder feedback and input, believes to be most material to its stakeholders, including key areas of safety and operational performance, emergency preparedness and response, energy and climate change, stakeholder engagement, Aboriginal and Native American engagement and economic impacts, among others. In addressing these subjects, the report identifies challenges and enhancements the Company made over the year. The report also includes sections on Enbridge's governance and compliance, and the recent investments it has made in innovation.

"Our approach to CSR is just as important as the other elements of strong performance at Enbridge," said Al Monaco, President and Chief Executive Officer, Enbridge Inc. "Ultimately, success in our business requires a deep understanding of concerns and a commitment to delivering results for a wide variety of stakeholders including our customers, landowners, employees, regulators, shareholders and the general public. Our stakeholders place their trust in us. Our strong focus on CSR actions, results and reporting gives them confidence that we are living up to their expectations, and provides them transparency into our efforts to continually strive for improvement in meeting our obligations to them."

The CSR report also provides background on the progress Enbridge has made on its Operational Risk Management (ORM) plan, an integrated initiative focused on six key action areas: integrity management, third-party damage avoidance, leak detection and control systems, incident response capacity, worker and contractor occupational safety, and public safety and environmental protection. Through the ORM plan, Enbridge is working to achieve its goal of industry leadership in safety and operational reliability.

"Enbridge's ORM plan illustrates our intense focus on achieving industry leadership in key elements of the business," said Mr. Monaco. "This includes not only achieving measureable improvements in the six key areas, but also cultivating and supporting a culture where we refuse to accept that any incident is inevitable or acceptable. The ORM plan further builds on our number one priority as a company – safety and operational reliability."

Enbridge's Annual Report provides a detailed overview of its financial and operating performance for the same year, and includes Consolidated Financial Statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for the year ended December 31, 2013.
