Sustainability reporting
2021 environmental, social & governance report (PDF)
Our commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance is key to how we work and approach sustainability at Cenovus. We recognize the importance of reporting in an open and accountable manner. We report information that’s required by law and regulation, and also voluntarily disclose information that more broadly describes our activities, policies, opportunities and risks. Our reporting is further guided by principles of accuracy, balance, clarity, comparability, reliability and timeliness.
Our 2021 ESG report includes a focus on performance and progress, including 2021 milestones toward our targets.
Our reporting structure aligns with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and references the standards established by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Ipieca (formerly known as the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association).
Learn how Cenovus activities are contributing positively to the SDGs, and where we have opportunities to minimize our negative impact.
We want to hear from you. Let us know if you have a question about how we work or see an area where we could improve in our sustainability practices.

Fostering transparency and anti-corruption
On June 1, 2015, the Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (“the Act”) was brought into effect by the Canadian government. The Act requires companies in the business of the commercial development of crude oil, natural gas and minerals, such as Cenovus, to publicly disclose, on an annual basis, specific payments made to all governments in Canada and abroad.
We recognize that conducting our business in a responsible, ethical and respectful way requires a commitment to transparency with our stakeholders. We believe reporting payments to governments is an important way to increase trust with our stakeholders. The ESTMA report provides an overview of the payments made to governments by Cenovus and our subsidiaries and partnerships involved in the commercial development of crude oil and natural gas.
The Act is one of the ways Canada is delivering on its international commitment to contribute to global efforts to increase transparency and deter corruption in the extractive sector.
