Sustainability Q and A
“We’ve stepped forward and outperformed our peers in retaining confidence in our business model and I think a lot of that has to do with our longstanding commitment to sustainability as a core value and a key part of our business strategy.”
Eric Axford
EVP and chief sustainability officer
Sustainability goals
Suncor’s sustainability goals reflect our focused efforts on strengthening relationships with Indigenous Peoples in Canada, and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) intensity.
About our report and sustainability priorities
Suncor has reported our sustainability progress and performance for over two decades and this 2019 Report on Sustainability continues our approach to transparency.
We reviewed the most relevant sustainability priorities through an in depth materiality assessment. In the context used for this report, materiality reflects the relative significance of sustainability priorities and their impacts (both positive and negative) both to our business, and to stakeholders and Indigenous communities affected by our business.
Indigenous relations
The trust and support of stakeholders and Indigenous communities are very important to Suncor and foundational to successful energy development.
Climate change
In today’s polarized world, constructive and solutions-focused conversations about climate change and our shared energy future are more essential than ever.
Water stewardship
Water is a shared and precious resource. Suncor’s integrated water management approach balances optimizing our water use practices with technological innovation to sustainably manage water.
Operational reliability and safety
Suncor is committed to incident prevention and learning and continues to raise the bar to improve process safety and reliability performance.
