Message from our President and CEO
At Enbridge, we are deeply committed to reconciliation. We have learned that what we do today impacts the next seven generations, and we have a responsibility to preserve and care for the land, learn from her original inhabitants and move forward together in the spirit of healing, reconciliation and partnership. We take these responsibilities seriously. Our inaugural 2022 IRAP and its 22 commitments served as a guiding light in our company-wide commitment to advance reconciliation.
As we pause and reflect on our reconciliation journey, I am proud of the dialogue that has taken place, the listening and learning that have occurred, and the work that has been done. We have made great strides, including: enhanced engagement with Indigenous thought leaders through our sharing circles, roundtables and the seven-member Indigenous Advisory Group; 100% employee participation in Indigenous cultural awareness training; and the advancement of economic reconciliation through the formation of new equity partnerships and C$2 billion (US$1.4 billion) in Indigenous spend to date.
But the work is not done. While we recognize there is still a long road ahead, we remain focused on fulfilling both our new and renewed commitments. We are dedicated to early engagement and meaningful, respectful dialogue, and we remain steadfast in our responsibility to empower and build vital economic relationships as we move forward together.
—Greg Ebel, President and CEO
