Footnotes
1 Unless otherwise noted, the data reflects all Pembina majority-owned and operated assets. Assets which are jointly owned and which Pembina does not operate are excluded. Assets assumed by way of the acquisition of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited and the U.S. portion of the Cochin Pipeline system, which closed on December 16, 2019, have been included in 2020 reported data. 2 Where noted, certain prior periods have been restated from data reported in Pembina's 2020 Sustainability Report as a result of newly available information or a change in methodology.
3 Total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIF) is defined as the number of recordable injuries per 200,000 hours of work.
4 Motor vehicle incident frequency rate (MVI) is the number of preventable incidents per 1,000,000 kms driven.
5 Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) is defined as the number of lost time injuries per 200,000 hours of work. Note, prior periods have been revised as previous disclosure was based on 1,000,000 hours of work.
6 Industry average based on employee data from member companies reported by the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA).
7 Total ILIs completed includes maintenance and post-construction ILIs.
8 The increase in total ILI length completed in 2020 is driven by inspections on acquired assets.
9 Pembina uses CEPA's definition of a significant failure incident – a failure incident that includes one or more of the following: caused a serious injury or fatality, caused a liquid release of greater than 8 m3 (50 US barrels), produced an unintentional ignition or fire, or occurred as a rupture.
10 Maintaining the integrity of our energy infrastructure is integral to the health and safety of the communities and environment where we operate. In 2020, 69% of reportable spills were of small volume (1m3 or less) while 23% were marginally larger (1m3 to 5 m3) and the remaining 8% is related to the Fox Creek spill as discussed below.
11 As noted above, the majority of 2020 reportable spills were of small volume. A large portion (80%) of the 2020 total reportable spill volume of 70 m3 is attributable to a single event. On February 27th, 2020, a 55.9 m3 release of crude oil occurred at the Fox Creek pump station due to facility piping equipment failure. The release was fully contained on site within secondary containment berms.
12 2020 reportable spill intensity increase influenced by Fox Creek pump station release event within secondary containment berms, and a decrease in mmboe.
13 A “responder” is a Pembina employee or contractor trained to support during an emergency. Prior periods cumulative training totals have been replaced with individual responders trained annually.
14 The reported emissions are based on operational control and direct emissions sources primarily using metered fuel volumes or invoiced volumes; however, in instances where metering data is not available, calculated emissions from sources were determined using industry best practices and accepted regulatory methodologies. Pembina participates in the following applicable regulated emissions reporting programs: Environment and Climate Change Canada Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program, British Columbia Greenhouse Gas Industrial Reporting and Control Act, Alberta Specified Gas Reporting Regulations, Alberta Technology, Innovation and Emission Reduction Regulations, Saskatchewan Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases Regulations and Standards, Ontario Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting (O Reg. 390/18) and the US Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Part 98 Reporting Regulations.
15 Pembina has obtained independent limited assurance of scope 1 and scope 2 emissions for the year ended December 31, 2020.
16 Adjustments made to prior period include production data updates (2018 and 2019) and inclusion of emissions attributable to Kinder Morgan Canada Limited and the U.S. portion of the Cochin Pipeline system (2019).
17 Corporate shared services added to the emission inventory for 2020, representing GHG emissions not associated with any one operational division (e.g., corporate head office and district field offices, fleet vehicles, corporate aircraft, communication towers).
18 Metrics are not available as data was not tracked on a comparable basis for prior periods.
19 Scope 1 GHG Emission sources in the reported data include emissions from stationary combustion equipment, fugitive emission leaks, as well as flaring, incineration, venting and mobile equipment operated by Pembina. Data not included in the scope 1 emissions are fugitive emissions of SF6 from electrical gear due to limited available operational data at the time of publication. Other exclusions include construction related emissions, fugitive emissions from mobile equipment refrigeration, and incidental emissions from spills.
20 Scope 2 GHG Emission sources in the reported data include the electrical consumption used to power corporate shared services, pipelines and facility assets operated by Pembina. Imported waste heat is also included in this report as a scope 2 emission.
21 Total volume BOE decrease resulted in increased emissions intensity for 2020.
22 Increase in methane emissions largely attributable to an enhanced leak detection and repair (LDAR) program that has increased reporting, as well as vented emissions at the Duvernay Gas Processing Plant, which were addressed with an operational improvement in 2021.
23 Percent of emissions which fall under emissions-limiting regulations such as a carbon tax or emission trade system (i.e., Alberta Technology, Innovation and Emission Reduction regulations effective 2020).
24 Prior period waste data has been updated to include produced water. Liquid waste has been converted from m3 to metric tonnes at a 1:1 conversion.
25 Variance in total non-hazardous waste largely attributable to produced water. Please see footnote 28.
26 Prior period non-hazardous waste diverted from landfill (i.e. recycled) adjusted to remove produced water.
27 Prior period non-hazardous waste sent for disposal adjusted to remove produced water.
28 Construction of a Redwater cavern occurred between 2017 to 2019; cavern construction uses considerably more water than cavern maintenance (washing). The fluctuations in produced water in 2019 is a result of water taken for cavern construction and stored, and subsequently disposed of in 2020. Produced water numbers will fluctuate with cavern washing activity completed as needed.
29 Increase in hazardous waste sent for treatment in 2020 largely attributable to assets assumed by way of the acquisition of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited.
30 Certain entries include estimated volumes where actuals are not available.
31 Total water withdrawn increased in 2020 in relation to integrity testing of an asset expansion.
32 Increase in total water disposed attributable to produced water stored in 2019 and disposed in 2020.
33 Environmental Technician program in 2020 was limited due to health and safety risks related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
34 Assets excluded from Community Investment include: VMLP and Aux Sable
35 Employee volunteering in 2020 was limited due to health and safety risks related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
36 Workforce data for 2018 is inclusive of certain assets which Pembina assumed by way of the acquisition of Veresen Inc., which closed on October 1, 2017 including Alliance Pipeline, Jordan Cove, Alberta Ethane Gathering System, and Veresen Midstream Limited Partnership. Workforce data for 2019 includes the assets assumed by way of the acquisition of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited and the U.S. portion of the Cochin Pipeline system, which closed on December 16, 2019.

41 As of March 2021, our Officer Team was made up of five males and one female.
42 Excluded from the 2019 figures are 67 U.S. employees associated with the acquisition of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited and the U.S. portion of the Cochin Pipeline system, which closed on December 16, 2019. Diversity information (including age) was not tracked for these employees, however this subset is included in 2020.
