CANADA’S BEST DIVERSITY EMPLOYERS (2025)
Diversity reflects a global village at Enbridge
Enbridge’s commitment to
embracing the diversity of its
employees reflects the way it deals
with the complexities of its operations, says Melissa Moyes, chief
human resources and inclusion
officer. It results in both company
and staff being energized.
Inviting people
to the party
of diversity and
inclusion is like
inviting everyone to
dance.”

Enbridge sponsors a number of employee resource groups celebrating diversity and fostering connection,
belonging and allyship.
W
hen Rose Dolabella
first arrived in
Edmonton 18 years
ago, it was a chilly
December and a marked contrast
to her tropical homeland of Brazil.
But in almost no time at all, she
was given a warm welcome in
her new professional home at
Enbridge Inc.
“I had my first interview during
the Christmas week and then
I got the job in January, which
was a great way to start the new
year,” she says. “And I have never
thought about leaving since.”
Enbridge is a diversified energy
company with headquarters in
Calgary. Its 13,400-plus employees
serve the globe by providing it
with energy safely and reliably.
The company moves a large share
of North America’s oil and natural
gas and is committed to reducing
the emissions intensity from its
operations.
Dolabella says she’s always
been made to feel welcome at
Enbridge, from the party her
fellow employees threw for her
birthday just a week after starting
work, to the present in her role as
senior advisor legal operations.
She engages with a wide variety
of employees and executives to
find ways of using technology to
deliver better legal services.
“I’ve always felt that I belong to
the organization, and the fact that
I have leaders and co-workers who
are also immigrants really gives
me the space to feel like it’s okay to
be myself,” Dolabella says.
“I feel comfortable and
welcome and that makes me
more productive because there is
so much friendship in my work
environment.”
“We’re here to help people in
their everyday lives by providing
a varied portfolio of energy
and choices and that’s reflected
internally in our culture,” says
Moyes.
“We look at individual needs
that focus on development and
growth so that everyone can make
contributions to Enbridge. It’s a
balance of how we win as one, and
how we win as a collective team.”
Dolabella says Enbridge’s
commitment to diversity and
inclusion has created a global
village where everyone is
connected via nine employee
resource groups (ERGs) with
dozens of chapters. These
employee-led groups bring people
together in the workplace based
on shared characteristics or life
experiences. They’re part of a
broad communications network
the company has established to
respond to employee feedback.
