In February 2021, the Canadian midstream energy company <\/strong>Enbridge<\/a><\/u><\/strong> announced it had secured a $1.0 billion \u201cSustainability Linked\u201d credit. Hiding behind laughable ESG goals, a company which specializes in the transportation of the most polluting fossil fuels uses so-called \u201csustainable\u201d financial tools to help finance its new climate-destroying and rights-violating Line 3 pipeline. Financial institutions must stop being complicit in such shameless greenwashing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When presenting the 2020 Financial Results<\/a><\/u> of its company, Al Monaco, President and CEO of Enbridge boasted about what he called Enbridge\u2019s \u201cESG leadership\u201d. He took pride in underlining that the company was \u201cthe first\u201d in its sector to launch a \u201cSustainability Linked credit facility\u201d.<\/p>\n

Indeed, on February 10th<\/sup> 2021, Enbridge secured a three-year $1.0 billion Sustainability Linked Credit Facility<\/strong> with CIBC, Scotiabank (Bank of Nova Scotia), Bank of Montreal (BMO Capital Markets), RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities. No surprise there: these financial institutions are also the five biggest <\/strong>funders<\/a><\/u><\/strong> of Enbridge: from 2016 to 2020 they dedicated $48.45 billion to the company<\/strong> \u2013 including $9.11 billion in 2020 alone.<\/p>\n

ESG goals for environmental destruction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enbridge\u2019s February operation was not done publicly. No document was published by the company to clearly describe how this credit is \u201csustainable\u201d. The company limited itself to indicating that it incorporates it \u201cESG goals\u201d.<\/p>\n

In November 2020, Enbridge presented new ESG goals<\/a><\/u> that include two environmental objectives regarding its direct GHG emissions (scope 1 and 2):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cTo reduce the intensity of GHG emissions from our operations by 35% by 2030\u201d;<\/li>\n
  2. \u201cTo achieve net zero emissions<\/a><\/u> from our business by 2050\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While these announcements may look good, they are in fact empty words which allow the company to continue to develop highly polluting projects and energies:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. As mentioned, Enbridge\u2019s GHG reduction and net zero targets only apply to <\/strong>scope 1 and 2<\/a><\/u><\/strong> emissions<\/strong>. They do not apply to what represents the lion share of its emissions: the use of the products it sells to utility companies and the electricity grid transmission and distribution losses. Enbridge itself writes that its reduction targets apply to less than 2% of the lifecycle emission intensity of oil sands.<\/li>\n
    2. Reducing GHG intensity does not mean that the absolute level of emission generated by the company will diminish<\/strong>. For example, Enbridge could consume energy with a lower carbon footprint but increase its consumption, thus maintaining – or even increasing – its level of emission.<\/li>\n
    3. To reach \u201c<\/strong>net-zero<\/a><\/u><\/strong>\u201d on its scope 1 and 2 emissions, Enbridge relies on carbon offsets<\/strong> \u2013 namely \u201cnature-based solutions\u201d and renewable credits. Therefore, Enbridge won\u2019t actually bring its scope 1 and 2 emissions down to near zero but will instead buy credits that supposedly offset all of its residual emissions. However, these credits will only allow Enbridge to count \u201cavoided emissions<\/a><\/u>\u201d and not to balance the climate impact of GHG emissions, making this \u201cnet-zero\u201d claim baseless.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Looking closely at Enbridge\u2019s climate plans, you will discover that it consists of building new pipelines and fossil gas distribution infrastructures. While the company likes to show off its renewable investments, the majority of the company\u2019s <\/strong>2020 growth projects<\/a><\/u><\/strong> are still related to oil and gas – which represent 82% of total estimated expenditures<\/strong> \u2013 and 97% of the companies 2019 investments where devoted to these energies.<\/p>\n

      Enbridge totally ignores the scientific studies<\/a><\/u> which prove that fossil fuel production must be drastically reduced and suggests that generating slightly less GHG when transporting them is enough to align its operations with the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

      Tar sands expansion financed with \u201csustainable\u201d credit<\/strong><\/p>\n

      If Enbridge\u2019s overall climate impact and empty climate commitment are reason enough to stop supporting the company and reject any \u201csustainable\u201d or \u201cgreen\u201d funding, the company gives financial actors another reason to keep away: the <\/strong>Line 3<\/a><\/u><\/strong> pipeline project<\/strong> in Minnesota. This pipeline will take oil from Canada\u2019s <\/strong>tar sands<\/a><\/u><\/strong> region to Wisconsin<\/strong>, thus propping up the consumption and production of a fuel that emits 3.2 to 4.5<\/a><\/u> times more GHG than conventional oil.<\/p>\n

      Research have shown<\/a><\/u> that overall credit facilities provide Enbridge with the liquidity that is necessary to carry out its fossil fuel infrastructure projects<\/strong>. In particular, general purpose funding can make up the funds which regulators require pipeline companies to have on hand in the event of an oil spill. In 2018, Enbridge used green bonds<\/a><\/u> to finance renewable energy projects, thus freeing up capital to pursue other fossil fuel investments. The \u201csustainability linked\u201d credit facility signed in February will be crucial<\/a><\/u> for the massive Line 3 project.<\/p>\n

      After six years of opposition to the project by tribal nations and community environmental groups, Enbridge began construction in December 2020, despite COVID risks, legal<\/a> challenges and sustained<\/a> Indigenous-led opposition. This project is an environmental catastrophe: the construction would add <\/strong>193 million tons<\/a><\/u><\/strong> of GHG to the atmosphere annually<\/strong>, annual emissions that are equivalent to 50 new coal plants. According to Honor The Earth, it also violates the treaty rights<\/a><\/u><\/strong> of the Anishinaabeg<\/strong> by endangering critical natural and cultural resources. Ironically, Enbridge\u2019s ESG goals include contributing \u201cto Indigenous reconciliation through employment strategies and training\u201d.<\/p>\n

      End shameless fossil fuel greenwashing<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Enbridge\u2019s case should be a warning to all financial actors which truly want to support the goals of the Paris Agreement and all who support the development of \u201csustainable finance\u201d. Yet, if Enbridge\u2019s sustainability claims are shocking, it is not first-time companies from the oil and gas industry have relied on so-called \u201cgreen\u201d or \u201csustainable\u201d bonds to find capital, and it won\u2019t be the last. In December 2020, NRG was the first North American company to issue a sustainability-linked<\/a><\/u> bond, despite the fact that the company has no plan to exit coal power generation that still account for 34%<\/a><\/u> of its portfolio.<\/p>\n

      Financial regulators and political power must create and adopt strong requirements that bound companies to follow real Paris-Aligned alignment plans and turn financial flows away from climate-destructive projects and companies. In the absence of a regulatory framework that would force companies to truly act in a sustainable manner, it is the duty of financial institutions to carefully check any environmental claim and debunk greenwashing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
