COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

We recognize that our role begins in the communities where we live and work. 

Through our Community Investment Program, we contribute to charitable organizations and initiatives that strengthen our operating communities and reflect our social commitment.  Our investments are centered around three main themes: Safety, Education and Community Wellness. 

Local Investment

We are committed to giving back. We believe in being an active partner by supporting initiatives that focus on building safer and more resilient communities. This includes support for education initiatives, first responders, community wellness programs for safe and secure communities.

Ovintiv Gives

At Ovintiv, we believe there is a human connection between the energy we produce and the energy of our people. Through Ovintiv Gives, our workplace giving program, we match employee charitable contributions dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000 per employee per year. This is an increase of 150% from 2021 and amplifies the impact our employees can have at a time when communities need it most.

As a company, our commitment to social responsibility includes empowering our people to make impactful change. Whether it is rolling up our sleeves to volunteer in local neighborhoods or rallying for a cause, our employees look for ways to make life better in our communities. We know that supporting the causes that matter most to our employees is integral to Ovintiv’s culture of giving back. We want to be recognized as a force of good in the communities where we operate—improving lives and driving progress.

In 2022, our employees leveraged Ovintiv’s charitable donation match program to give $2.6 million to over 800 charities across North America, providing a positive, far-reaching impact in the communities where we live and work.    

Our People
in Action

Leveraging corporately supported programs like Ovintiv Gives and our employee resource groups, our people have taken the initiative to drive fundraising campaigns for causes close to their hearts.

To recognize our employees’ commitment to the communities and support their passions, we have introduced the Ovintiv Gives Community Leadership Rewards program. It is a multi-dimensional volunteer program that rewards employees who volunteer with a grant of up to $500 for the charity or not-for-profit of their choice. Additionally, to encourage their development, employees who volunteer their time on the board of directors for a not-for-profit receive a $500 charitable grant for that organization each calendar year.
