Another organization that highlights its interest in sustainability is Enbridge, Inc. The company joined forces with the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business on March 27, 2012, to unveil the Enbridge Centre for Corporate Sustainability.

But these days the name Enbridge is more likely to evoke images of its 2010 oil spill, in which 20,000 barrels of oil flowed into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River. The disaster has been called the largest inland oil spill in the history of the U.S. Midwest.

In its July 25 report on the Enbridge oil spill, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board twice recommends that Enbridge require its operators “to provide system-specific information about their pipeline systems to the emergency response agencies of the communities and jurisdictions in which those pipelines are located.” The report goes on to say that these reports should include details such as “pipe diameter, operating pressure, product transported, and the potential impact radius.”
