Enbridge’s Indigenous Lifecycle Engagement Framework

Enbridge is committed to respectful and productive engagement and collaboration with Indigenous peoples. While we have worked to expand Indigenous inclusion within our projects and operations and across our Company, we recognize that there is more work to do.

Our implementation of the Indigenous Lifecycle Engagement Framework (Framework) guides engagement with Indigenous communities focusing on building lasting and respectful relationships. This Framework ensures consistent engagement across the lifecycle of our assets while addressing the unique needs of different communities. It not only supports consultation, but also provides the opportunity for economic benefits to Indigenous communities.

In 2023, we set an external target of an additional C$1 billion in Indigenous spend enterprise-wide across projects and operations from January 2023 to the end of 2030. This builds on the C$2.3 billion Indigenous spend we have made to date. This approach demonstrates our commitment to aligning with best practices and the expectations of Indigenous communities.

As a company that continuously engages with more than 300 Indigenous nations and groups in Canada and 30 federally recognized Native American Tribes in the U.S., we believe that our Framework and IRAP support us as we continue to be leaders on Indigenous inclusion.
