Stakeholder Engagement

Building and sustaining positive relationships are essential to our long-term success.

Enerplus is committed to engaging with our stakeholders in a way that fosters mutually beneficial relationships to maintain our business interests and to promote positive economic and social development in our operating areas.

At Enerplus, we work hard to ensure that our operations are compliant with all legal and regulatory frameworks established by the authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate. However, we are conscious that our continued operations are also dependent on the relationships that we develop with our community neighbours and stakeholders. We firmly believe in working to establish and sustain relationships based on trust and mutual respect which can lead to long-term benefits for both Enerplus and our stakeholders.

Enerplus recognizes that we are corporate citizens in the communities where we operate and that our employees and contractors are often the main point of contact between us and our stakeholders. As such, all Enerplus employees and contractors are expected to honestly represent the interests of our organization and to treat our stakeholders fairly.

Enerplus believes that by actively and openly collaborating with our stakeholders we will foster an environment where we can pursue our business interests while responding to the needs of the economic and social well-being of our stakeholders and the communities where we live and work together.

Consultation

Enerplus recognizes that our operations have an impact on the communities and stakeholders where we operate. To ensure that our stakeholders have access to timely, accurate information regarding our current or planned operations and projects, Enerplus is committed to engaging in meaningful consultation with our stakeholders. Our stakeholders can also be assured that any questions, issues, or concerns can be directed to Enerplus for consideration at any stage of potential project development or operations.

Local Employment and Services

We have a duty to our investors to ensure that we conduct our business and operations in a responsible and cost-effective manner.  However, we recognize that oil and gas development can have a beneficial economic impact on the regions where activity is taking place.  Thus, we will strive to provide local suppliers of goods and services that meet our corporate standards with opportunities to participate in our operations and projects. We will also give consideration to qualified local applicants in our search to meet human resources needs.

Aboriginal Stakeholders

Enerplus recognizes the unique relationship that North America's Aboriginal peoples have with the lands in areas where we operate. We also recognize the unique legal and treaty obligations that exist between the Aboriginal People and Canada and the United States. We strive to engage with the Aboriginal communities in our operating areas with the intention of developing relationships based on trust, mutual respect and common understanding. We are committed to developing long-lasting relationships where Enerplus can benefit from local understanding in areas such as traditional knowledge, environmental stewardship, and socio-economic development and where our activities will have a long-lasting, positive impact on these communities.
