EnLink considers the interests of our stakeholders and makes decisions with our long-term sustainability strategy in mind. Our Core Values – the principles that guide our actions – have long emphasized the importance of safety, integrity, people, innovation, and excellence, each of which contribute to our strong sustainability culture.
We established an official sustainability program in 2018 and have consistently developed the program structure and goals to align with our company strategy and industry developments. Since we issued our first report in 2019, we have provided annual updates on our progress in environmental, social, and governance areas via an annual sustainability report.

Sustainability Governance
Our management-approved, companywide sustainability policy drives our sustainability approach and communicates the expectation that all employees are responsible to support our sustainability goals. The EnLink Board of Directors has ultimate oversight of EnLink’s sustainability program.
We have several sustainability working groups that focus on various aspects of sustainability. In 2023, these included:
- The Operational Excellence Leadership Team: oversees the company’s operational excellence efforts, including pursuing best-in-class environmental, health, and safety performance; consists of leadership from across the company.
- The Sustainability Reporting Core Team: considers current sustainability trends, risks, and opportunities and produces yearly sustainability reporting materials; this cross-functional team encourages employees to consider sustainability in business decisions, programs, and processes across the company.
- The Emissions Reduction Team: develops a strategic approach for emissions reduction and tracks progress; led by our engineering team with key input from our Operational Excellence, Operations, and Environmental, Health, and Safety teams.
- The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Action Team: fosters and encourages a diverse and inclusive workplace where employees can reach their full potential; includes employees from across the company, representing numerous demographics and diverse perspectives.
Sustainability Focus Areas and Data Assurance
We monitor and report progress in three main sustainability areas, as summarized below. Our Sustainability Reporting Core Team regularly reviews these focus areas and may expand or change them periodically to meet evolving sustainability best practices, company needs, and industry trends.
- Environmental Stewardship: includes energy transformation, energy use and emissions, environmental performance, biodiversity and habitat maintenance and restoration, and asset integrity and reliability.
- Social Responsibility: includes employee and public safety; emergency preparedness and response; employee development; diversity, equity, and inclusion; community involvement; and supply chain.
- Governance and Ethics: includes corporate governance, code of business conduct and ethics, risk management and business continuity, cybersecurity, and sustainability reporting.
Our Sustainability Reporting Core Team drafts our annual Sustainability Report, assessing the completeness and accuracy of the report and evaluating its metrics, components, and attributes against industry standards and common practices. Our Internal Audit team then conducts a review of data in the annual Sustainability Report, including the metrics in our data charts, confirming documentation for the information presented supports each fact or datum. The report is further reviewed by our executive leadership and Board-level Sustainability Committee prior to issuance.
