Doing the right thing
We recognize that how we interact with the environment is of vital importance to you. It is to us, too.
That's why our 环境原则 of 管理、保护 and performance reflect our culture and guide our decisions every day when building and operating energy infrastructure.
We're committed to protecting the environment throughout the complete life cycle of our assets, 从业务发展到项目规划设计, through construction and operations to remediation and final decommissioning.

Climate change
作为一家能源基础设施公司, 我们认识到我们在更大的能源系统中的角色, 包括我们自己排放的温室气体. We are leaders in the development of a balanced and sustainable energy future and we’re doing our part to manage our GHG emissions through the programs and initiatives that meet, and often exceed, 监管要求.
Water
We know that water is a fundamental component of the ecosystems where we operate. The protection of water resources is of the utmost importance to both the environment and our business. Water is responsibly managed throughout the life cycle of our assets through our comprehensive Environment Program.
Land & wildlife
We believe that when we build an asset, we temporarily borrow the land. 在我们超过65年的历史中, we have successfully reclaimed thousands of acres of land in many different ecological regions throughout North America. We undertake field studies and consult with stakeholders and Indigenous groups to develop specific environmental protection plans on all our projects in order to conserve and protect natural resources throughout construction and operation of our facilities.
通过合作进行环境管理
Collaboration and relationship building are at the heart of our 环境原则. 我们与员工建立伙伴关系, industry partners, Indigenous groups and regulatory agencies and work together to help find solutions to important environmental issues.
与员工合作
我们的员工都是尽心尽力保护环境的人. TC Energy's environmental governance process applies to all employees and is integrated throughout all lines of business in all jurisdictions.
与行业合作伙伴合作
We recognize there is strength in numbers and different ways of tackling a problem. We actively seek outside perspectives and participate in a number of industry and multi-stakeholder initiatives to help resolve environmental challenges and advance best practices for our industry.
与社区合作
We work closely with the communities where we live and work to ensure the environmental initiatives we're supporting – whether financially or through volunteer efforts – are the ones that matter the most to them. This means working with national and local organizations to conserve important habitat, 保护濒危物种及推广环保教育.
与土著群体合作
We recognize and respect the rights of Indigenous groups and their distinct relationship with the land. We believe it is important to integrate traditional knowledge into our environmental planning, and work with Indigenous groups to understand how our activities may affect them and find mutually beneficial solutions.
Case study:
保护环境
TC Energy project planning and development includes environmental considerations. As part of the West Path Program’s Environmental Protection Plans, data was collected on environmental elements such as soils and terrain, 野生动物和野生动物栖息地, 植被与湿地, fish and fish habitat, 水及水质, heritage resources, 空气排放与声环境. This data helped identify environmental protection measures to be implemented with the goal of ensuring environmentally responsible construction and returning disturbed areas to equivalent land capability.
Watch how the West Path Program’s Foothills 2023 Elko project considered the environment during construction, as well as learn about the program’s ongoing efforts to support 白皮松的恢复与保护, a species listed as endangered under the Species at Risk Act.
