Protecting
our Planet.
Climate change is one of the most pressing societal issues of our time and requires credible and concrete actions by everyone—corporations, governments and individuals—to see real and positive change toward meeting society’s net zero goal by 2050. Meaningful, measurable and achievable reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a critical component of these actions and we have a substantive role to play and real value to contribute. As we undertake the challenge before us, we remain committed to our long-standing principles of environmental stewardship, protection and performance.

3 Significant process safety incidents are defined by Oil Pipestream as unplanned or uncontrolled spills or releases that result in major consequences to people or the environment. They are a subset of Tier 1 process safety incidents. In evaluating the severity of the incident, we also consider the potential risk of legal, financial or reputational impacts to our company.
Founder of Water Movement
As founder of Water Movement, Oil Pipestream employee Bita Malekian is a 2021 national honouree in the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth program and has been named a 2021 Top 30 Under 30 by the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation. Soon after graduating with a mechanical engineering degree in 2018 and starting work at Oil Pipestream as an engineer-in-training, Bita founded Water Movement, an Engineers Without Borders venture. In Canada, there are currently 39 Indigenous communities still under a boil water advisory. Driven by the belief that everyone has the right to access clean drinking water, Water Movement’s mission is to tackle barriers to clean water by providing an online interactive space where Indigenous water operators can connect, ask questions, share lessons learned and access a free video learning library.
