Community

Canadian Natural is committed to a long-term presence in the communities where we operate. Our business activities contribute to the economics and quality of life where we do business, as do our community investments.

Throughout our operations we work with our neighbors so the impacts of our operations are minimized on individual landowners as well as communities, while local and regional economic benefits are enhanced.

We are also taking a leadership role in many industry-stakeholder working groups recognizing the important role they play in creating mutually satisfactory relationships and outcomes for communities, governments, and industry. We are active supporters in stakeholder groups that are addressing such broad issues as the cumulative impacts of oil sands developments, greenhouse gas strategies, and activities to introduce the concepts of stewardship to children.

We are working collaboratively with many First Nation and Métis leaders near our operations. With a commitment to improved two-way communications, together we have been identifying strategies and implementing action plans so communities can play a more direct role in the development of oil and natural gas resources. Priorities have included the development of business and career opportunities, the delivery of effective education, training and cultural programs, and the pursuit of mitigative strategies related to environmental matters.  

By working together with community and industry groups, we will all ensure a better, sustainable energy industry.
