About Pathways Alliance

Pathways Alliance is made up of Canadian Natural, Cenovus, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial, MEG Energy and Suncor. We’re working together to provide energy the world needs while advancing environmental innovation.

The oil sands industry is a key economic driver for Alberta and Canada contributing billions to the economy annually. Our country has long benefitted from a strong energy sector that supports Canada’s high standard of living by creating thousands of jobs and generating significant revenue to governments that helps fund essential services, including education and roads.

To ensure our industry is able to continue providing these benefits for decades to come, we’re also focused on advancing environmental innovation and projects, including carbon capture and storage.

In 2022, Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) became part of Pathways Alliance. Formed in 2012, COSIA is focused on collaborative action and innovation in oil sands environmental technology in four key environmental priority areas: tailings, water, land and greenhouse gases.
