Who we are
Kiwetinohk, pronounced Key-WHEAT-In-KNOW,
means "north" or "northward" in Cree, the most widely spoken Indigenous language in Canada.
Bestowed by Indigenous friends, our name reflects the high value Canadians place on our natural environment and honours the strong role of stakeholders and Indigenous peoples in our past, present and future.
Who is Kiwetinohk Energy Corp?
Kiwetinohk produces natural gas, natural gas liquids, oil and condensate and is a developer of renewable and natural gas power projects, and early stage carbon capture and storage opportunities, in Alberta.
Prime Directive
ESG leadership through stakeholder inclusion
At Kiwetinohk we recognize that the fortunes of our stakeholders are inseparable. In the long term, for any to benefit, all must be engaged and contribute. We acknowledge these stakeholders and the duty to address the reasonable desires of each:
People, everywhere, who seek to protect the environment want us to reach beyond compliance and find ways to lead the energy industry in reducing the environmental impact of our activities, restoring disturbed land and reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensity
Governments and regulators want us to comply with all laws and regulations and to advise them of changes that would enable the industry to better serve society
Communities most impacted by the Company’s activities, including Indigenous communities, want to participate in planning, building and operating projects and in promptly restoring the land when the projects are done
Industry partners want us to honor our arrangements and reasonably accommodate change and adaptation
Customers want us to reliably deliver our products at the specifications and in the amounts that we forecast
Suppliers and service providers want an opportunity to compete for our business, to be paid promptly and fairly, and to contribute to the evolution of our business
Employees want an energizing, inclusive, happy work environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, to be compensated fairly and a safe and healthy workplace
Capital Providers want strong returns on their investment, effective communication, and management of risks; financial, environmental and reputational
We at Kiwetinohk see ourselves in the business of serving our stakeholders and together, with them, we will strive to produce energy. By engaging all our stakeholders openly and honestly and by encouraging their participation in our business we expect to best serve each of them. This goal of building a better enterprise by stakeholder engagement and accommodation is our prime directive. The pursuit of this objective is the foundation of all Kiwetinohk’s management conduct policies.
