CEO's Message

Patrick D. Daniel
President & CEO

Enbridge has a vision: we want to be the leading energy delivery company in North America. We deliver energy and we deliver value to shareholders.

Future development at Enbridge

At Enbridge, strategic planning and succession planning are ongoing processes that have positioned the company well for continued growth.

Our planning processes have provided Enbridge with its basic direction today, and that basic direction remains sound. While I do foresee some course corrections, they are corrections that will be the result of the rapidly changing environment we work in.

Strategies for growth

Enbridge's resources are focused on four broad strategic thrusts. The major strategies are to:

Continue to expand the Company’s core business – developing and operating energy delivery infrastructure assets.
Develop new growth platforms, such renewable energy (wind and solar), CO₂ transportation and sequestration and Pathfinding initiatives.
Focus on operational excellence, to ensure we are able to deliver consistent and predictable operating and financial performance while growing our asset and earnings base.
Manage and mitigate execution risk. Executing Enbridge’s unprecedented capital program demands effective strategies for mitigating and managing project development risk. Key priorities include enhanced project management systems and processes, proactive human resource planning and an increased focus on social investment.

In summary

At Enbridge, our goal is to deliver superior earnings growth while maintaining our relatively low risk profile, and we will continue to focus on delivering total returns to shareholders that exceed those of our peers.

By building on our core competencies and making the necessary course corrections to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise, Enbridge will remain well positioned to maintain the pattern we have established in recent years of long-term growth in earnings per share.
