The oil and gas industry and environmentalists are often viewed as adversaries, but given the chance, they can work together for the benefit of the environment. Alberta Ecotrust is a quality organization, and, as a group that is working to improve Alberta's environment, is a natural fit for Imperial.

Imperial has been a major contributor to the growth of the petroleum industry and to Canada's economic and social development for more than 125 years. In 1890, Imperial gave its first donation to a fisherman's mission in Newfoundland, since then charitable giving has been an integral part of the company.

The Imperial Oil Foundation, Imperial's main philanthropic arm, concentrates support in the areas of education, environment and civic and community programs. The Foundation provides funding and expertise to hundreds of community partners across Canada.

"For Imperial, corporate citizenship means meeting the growing demand for energy in an economically, environmentally and socially responsible way. We place strong emphasis on minimizing our impact on the environment, creating a safe, healthy and supportive workplace, and working with communities to address local needs and create long-term benefits. Imperial is proud to have provided the Alberta Ecotrust Foundation with over $150,000 in donations over the years," said Monica Samper, President, Imperial Oil Foundation
