Pembina Pipeline Corporation Releases 2020 Sustainability Report

Pembina Pipeline Corporation (“Pembina”, “our”, “we” or “the Company”) (TSX: PPL) (NYSE: PBA) today released its 2020 Sustainability Report (the “2020 Report”). This marks our second full-length report outlining the Company’s approach, recent performance and our future initiatives for environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors that are most material to our stakeholders and business. The 2020 Report details the Company’s progress since 2018 and further establishes Pembina’s commitment to continuous improvement in this area through the inclusion of enhanced disclosures on additional metrics.

“As we continue our ESG journey, our focus will remain on continuous improvement, transparency and engagement. Building upon our strong foundation, we will seek to further integrate sustainable business practices throughout the Company”, said Mick Dilger, Pembina’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Today, I am pleased to announce the addition of Janet Loduca, who has joined Pembina as General Counsel and Vice President, Legal and Sustainability. With over 30 years of legal, environmental, regulatory and sustainability experience, Janet will be instrumental in advancing our ESG priorities and developing a long-term sustainability strategy”, added Mr. Dilger.

Pembina recognizes the growing risks and opportunities of climate change and the role our industry must play in reducing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions while supplying the world with affordable and reliable energy. As a company we are committed to pursuing emissions reduction initiatives across our businesses. We assess opportunities and employ new practices that can lower our emissions footprint, including investing in co-generation facilities. We recently completed the construction of a co-generation facility at our Redwater Complex, which will reduce our emissions intensity, and are evaluating similar opportunities at other locations.

We have also launched a process to enhance ESG integration across the Company, including establishing a governance framework to develop a longer-term GHG strategy and emissions intensity reduction targets. Our targets will guide business decisions, drive emissions reductions and improve overall emissions intensity performance, while increasing our long-term value and resilience. Finally, we believe that linking compensation to corporate performance on these important factors aligns with long-term value creation and our stakeholders’ interests. As such, we are focused on redesigning our compensation methodologies for 2021 with ESG performance as a significant component.
