With over a thousand employees in Colorado, Encana is a leader in oil and gas exploration and production in the state.
The company’s investment—in the form of state severance taxes, local ad valorem taxes, royalties to the state and private citizens, development costs, employee and contractor salaries and operating costs — results in 65 cents of every dollar expended staying right here in Colorado.
But for Encana, investment also means giving to the community. Through the company’s community involvement efforts, Denver area non-profit groups received $2.1 million in grants last year. This money supported education, community wellness, and environmental projects.
Encana believes in continuous improvement and works to develop energy resources responsibly. For example, in Western Colorado, Encana invested in recycling technology that allows over 95 percent of the water it uses to be recycled, greatly reducing reliance on fresh water sources. We’ve also worked to reduce air emissions through the use of innovative technologies.
By providing well-paying jobs, supporting the local community, and developing energy responsibly, Encana strives to be a valued corporate partner in Colorado.
