Life Below Water Life on Land Partnerships for the Goals Affordable & Clean Energy Decent Work & Economic Growth We are making significant strides to produce cleaner energy today while investing in the clean energy solutions of the future. By accelerating the decarbonization of our oil and gas operations, expanding our low-carbon ammonia portfolio, and investing in low-carbon hydrogen and renewables through our shareholding in Masdar, we are driving energy systems transformation. We work to actively protect the UAE’s marine ecosystem. We have installed artificial fish habitats to repopulate the area and developed a rescue and rehabilitation program for endangered sea turtles in the area surrounding the Hail and Ghasha development project which is located in the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO designated area. We are dedicated to fostering economic diversification, socioeconomic development and job creation. Through the In-Country Value program, we aim to enable local businesses to benefit from planned large-scale projects while promoting the employment of local talent in the private sector, contributing to long- term national growth. Our commitment to protecting the natural environment is anchored in our operating framework and practices. We work to positively impact the environment by protecting, preserving, enhancing and restoring biodiversity, especially in sensitive onshore and offshore areas. To support this commitment, we have established protected exclusion zones for the Arabian oryx and other endangered wildlife species. Climate Action We rank among the world’s lowest carbon-intensity oil and gas producers, regularly investing in lowering the carbon footprint of the energy we produce. Our decarbonization efforts include expanding renewable energy investments, developing a global hydrogen value chain, deploying cutting-edge climate technologies, and advancing nature-based solutions, such as planting 10 million mangroves in the UAE by 2030. We believe there is a need for collaboration and partnership to achieve our business and sustainability goals, leveraging collective knowledge and experience in the areas of operational excellence, innovation and sustainable development. We are a participant in the UN Global Compact. We are members of industry collaborations such as the Institute of Oil and Gas Providers (IOGP), the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA), the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0, and the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC). “ ADNOC's sustainability performance sets a high standard for the energy sector. By leveraging data-driven insights and innovative practices, ADNOC is advancing initiatives that benefit people, planet, and foster long-term prosperity. Their strong commitment to sustainable growth not only supports our collective progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, but also strengthens the UAE’s global competitiveness as a leader in responsible energy. ● H.E.
