Responsible Procurement Program

We work with suppliers to advance our sustainability performance.

For Enbridge, our supply chain―those organizations that provide materials, goods, and/or services to Enbridge, including contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and consultants)―plays a key role in our ability to live up to our social responsibility commitments and attain our sustainability objectives. That's why we place strong emphasis on implementing robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) business standards throughout our supply chain.

Our focus is building a strong, broad and inclusive1 supply chain by engaging with suppliers who are part of the communities where we live and operate. We aim to partner with suppliers who prioritize sustainability in their supply chains.

We value safety, integrity, respect, inclusion and high performance. Above all else, we aim to make a difference, economically and socially—as an industry leader, as a responsible corporate citizen. We believe that by working together, we can achieve our shared vision of a sustainable future.
