Investing in and engaging with our communities We believe that ADNOCs success and resilience is inextricably linked to the wellbeing of our communities. We are committed to contributing to the social and economic development of the communities where we operate. Managing social risk Our social risk management standard is aligned with the International Finance Corporation Environmental and Social Performance Standard and national requirements. We apply social risk management across all project lifecycle stages from concept to construction, from operations to decommissioning. We have cross-functional social risk management teams in place across ADNOC who oversee our risk management activity. In 2023, these teams held 42 engagements to review social risk management performance across the business. We actively identify, assess, monitor and address any potential social impact on the communities where we operate and on stakeholders linked to our activities. To identify social risks, we conduct social impact assessments. The outcomes of these assessments are translated into social management and stakeholder engagement plans, which include actions for mitigation and are communicated to the communities potentially impacted. Regular stakeholder communication and engagement is an important aspect of how we manage our social impact. A wide range of communication and engagement activities, such as multilingual brochures, SMS messages, group discussions and face-to-face meetings, are employed to regularly update key stakeholders on projects status and impacts.
