Report on Sustainability

A lower-carbon future and our responsibility

We are focused on a pragmatic   and financially disciplined strategy that focuses on progressing emissions reduction efforts across our assets and investing in low-carbon technologies—effectively balancing energy security, affordability and sustainability.

We have introduced a methane-intensity target, underlining our commitment to operational GHG emissions reductions. With a 40 to 55 per cent reduction by 2035 in our methane intensity from our 2019 baseline, we’ve advanced the application of operational best practices and made targeted investments to enhance performance across our footprint.

Promoting a learning mindset in alignment with safety values

To promote a culture where everyone has a learning mindset, we embed Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles into our safety training, programming and informal activities.

By cultivating a learning culture, HOP principles play a key role in reinforcing psychological safety, empowering employees to speak without fear of blame. This approach fosters an environment where employees and contractors feel safe reporting issues and are motivated to collaborate towards continuous improvement.

In 2024, to build frontline confidence and competency in HOP principles, TC Energy provided HOP Foundations Training to over 400 employees, added 40 new HOP coaches to our network and completed approximately 400 HOP overview sessions with various projects and operational teams. By integrating HOP principles in our day-to-day work, we can work together to help prevent incident recurrence and Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) incidents. 

Measuring our impact instead of dollars  

By measuring impact instead of dollars, we are moving our focus away from inputs in dollars towards the ultimate goal—improving people's lives. For example, our social impact measurement framework allows us to track not just the financial support provided to local food banks, but also the number of families served, their demographics and whether receiving food assistance will enable them to reallocate funds to other basic needs.

With key performance indicators (KPIs) for each focus area, the new framework provides transparency for community partners, supports their understanding of TC Energy's community giving strategy and helps jointly identify what is working so we can build on it together. In 2025, community partners began completing post-grant reporting to evaluate actual program outcomes against desired outcomes.
