t Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P., our commitment to good governance, ethical conduct and social responsibility is core to our way of doing business and strongly aligned with our drive to create and increase unitholder and shareholder value. The board of directors functions independently of management and is responsible for the overall stewardship of the Partnership. The board is forward-looking and anticipates the ever-changing internal and external environments to provide guidance in our long-range strategic planning.

We believe social responsibility is about taking greater account of the social and environmental impact of our operations as well as understanding and recognizing wider values, which are significant to the success of our business. To us, social responsibility means achieving business success in ways that uphold our values and high standards of ethics and demonstrate respect for people and the environment. The board monitors the effectiveness of the Partnership’s social responsibility measures by ensuring systems are in place to manage risk and by ensuring employee and management commitment to social responsibility programs. Enbridge companies continue to measure the effectiveness of their social responsibility strategies and publicly disclose their environmental, safety and social performance in an annual Corporate Social Responsibility report.

Our board of directors, management team and skilled employees are the backbone of Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. We are aligned in our goals and motivated to help the Partnership achieve its overall business objectives and deliver outstanding results to our investors in the years ahead.
