Social Investment

We energize the world to make people’s lives better. One way we bring this sentiment to life is through our social investments which combine financial contributions with the passions of our people to create meaningful, lasting impact in the communities where we live and work.

How we drive impact

Our social investment strategy is rooted in:

• Purpose – dedicating efforts to four focus areas to ensure contributions are meaningful, impactful and aligned with community needs as well as our business priorities. 
• Collaboration – working closely with local organizations and groups with historically fewer opportunities to understand priorities and co-create solutions.
• Long-term impact – delivering lasting value rather than short-term fixes.
• Employee engagement – encouraging our people to contribute their skills and resources, and increasing their impact by matching their donations and rewarding their volunteer hours with additional contributions to charities they support.

By focusing our efforts, we achieve more

Prioritizing four focus areas allows us to closely align our social investments with our business priorities.

We’re stronger together

We know it will take a collective effort to make progress on challenges facing society. That’s why we collaborate with community partners to co-create innovative and sustainable solutions. This reflects one of our four values: Do it together. With trust and a shared commitment to success, we work side by side with our partners to empower communities and drive sustainable improvement.

Cenovus Cares is our Employee Giving and Volunteering Program, which makes it easy for employees to support the causes that matter most to them while also increasing their impact.
