Ensuring our stakeholders know who we are and what to expect from us is crucial to our success.

We recognize

Our stakeholders include shareholders, employees and contractors, landowners, communities, Aboriginal communities, private sector partners and competitors, government, financial institutions, regulators, and civil society organizations such as environmental non-government organizations and community-based organizations.

We listen

We work with stakeholders in a transparent, honest and respectful way by listening to their concerns and working together with them to find solutions to meet their needs. Effective stakeholder engagement at Encana is about building trust, communication and collaboration. Our approach is tailored to meet the individual needs of our stakeholders.

We communicate

Open dialogue with stakeholders enables good decision making, helps identify and resolve issues, builds strong communities and supports shared learning before, during and after our operating activities. We employ a variety of communication methods including:

• posting information regarding rig moves and other activities on community websites
• meeting with municipalities where we operate to discuss our operations and to learn about community priorities
• holding energy expo events to provide an opportunity to get information on our business and to have one-on-one dialogue with Encana staff
• hosting open houses and other community events

We respect

Encana's commitment to stakeholders is demonstrated through our efforts to establish mutually beneficial relationships with communities situated near our operations through honest dialogue and respectful engagement. This includes close liaison with the Aboriginal communities where we operate. This is essential to the long-term sustainability of our operations. To maintain our relationships with landowners, we use guidelines that provide clear expectations of our land agents, including external brokers. We require all land agents acting on our behalf to act with integrity and to treat landowners with respect.
