When it comes to environmental stewardship, TransCanada does much more than meet regulatory requirements. We are constantly seeking better approaches to new project development, issues tracking and the thorough clean-up of legacy sites.

Comprehensive risk assessment guides our efforts. With ever more sophisticated analytical tools at our disposal, many of which we develop ourselves, we manage greenhouse gas and air emissions, maintain biodiversity, foster energy efficiency, engage in policy discussions and respect the diverse cultures in which we operate. We take a life cycle approach to environmental protection, avoiding impacts whenever possible and minimizing or mitigating effects when avoidance is not an option.

Our environmental responsibilities do not end there. In communities across North America, we work closely with local organizations and government representatives to conserve important landscapes, protect threatened and endangered species and conduct leading-edge scientific research studies that will bring future benefits.

This holistic philosophy of sustainability provides optimal protection of the natural environment and human health.
