Environmental Responsibility
At Northern Gateway, safeguarding the quality-of-life enjoyed by communities along the project route is always front-of-mind. The long-term success of our project depends on our ability to construct and operate the project in an environmentally responsible way. As part of Northern Gateway’s planning, a team of over 200 environmental experts and scientists conducted comprehensive marine biology, geology, archaeology and other environmental analysis along the project route.
