ADNOC is committed to the highest health and safety standards to safeguard our employees, contractors, business partners, communities and the environment. Our policy is designed to create accountability across all levels and foster a proactive safety culture, empowering everyone to halt unsafe practices. We implement effective security and business continuity measures in our efforts to adhere to sustainable business practices as outlined in the ADNOC Group Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Policy. ADNOC's HSE policy emphasizes our commitment to health, safety and environmental excellence by protecting people, contractors, communities, assets and the environment. The policy focuses on achieving zero harm and fostering a strong HSE culture through stakeholder engagement, HSE awareness and competency building, to empower intervention in unsafe practices, driving accountability across all levels. It underscores our commitment to preserving natural resources, reducing emissions and effluents, and protecting biodiversity. It includes a focus on risk management, robust emergency preparedness, response and crisis management and the prevention of incidents by maintaining asset integrity and process safety management. It also enforces compliance with HSE laws, regulations and internal procedures as well as performance monitoring and reporting, and continued improvement. The HSE policy is implemented through a comprehensive HSE management system. Our approach We maintain a robust and comprehensive Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSEMS) to provide for the systematic and effective implementation of our policy commitments. Our HSEMS is informed by internationally recognized safety and environmental management frameworks and standards10. It is applied across our business, including all employees and contractors. The purpose of our HSEMS is to: • Protect people, the environment, assets and our reputation • Define clear HSE goals, targets, expectations and roles and responsibilities • Foster continuous improvement in measurement and feedback mechanisms Our process is to conduct Health, Safety, and Environmental Impact Assessments in compliance with relevant regulations, standards and company requirements throughout a project’s lifecycle. These assessments identify potential hazards and impacts, informing decision-making on adequate control measures to manage and mitigate risks. In 2024, we conducted a comprehensive review of our HSE guidelines to further align them with the latest international standards. The review process involved thorough consultations with employees and business partners, including contractors and joint ventures. This collaborative effort brought together technical authorities, risk specialists and operational teams from various departments. The updated manuals now define the minimum requirements for our operations. Additionally, we developed HSE Corporate Practices to recommend approaches for meeting the HSE requirements outlined in our manuals. ADNOC has established a number of HSE committees that actively involve employee participation to support comprehensive safety governance across all levels, such as • CEO HSE Forum, comprising of all Group company CEOs and HSE leaders, as well as HSE Executive Meetings to provide strategic direction and align on key initiatives at the leadership level. • Corporate HSE Committees led by Group company CEOs as well as HSE Site Level Committee, led by site management representatives and including members from various disciplines within the site, keeping operational workers actively involved in maintaining high HSE standards. • In 2024, ADNOC established a Contractor Safety Partnership, fostering collaboration with our top 25 strategic contractor partners, suppliers and service providers, in promoting best safety practices and accelerating institutional learning. Central to our safety ambition is upholding our core value of ‘100% HSE’. This value forms the basis of how we think, behave and act and is a company-wide commitment. It is not only about compliance, but also about empowering everyone to speak up, intervene and learn when safety is compromised. Our goal is to eliminate fatalities, life-altering injuries and serious process safety events. 10 ADNOC HSEMS Structure is aligned with International Standards including ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, ISO 22301, ISO 31000, ISO 55001, International Safety Management (ISM) Code Elements and American Petroleum Institute (API) RP75, International Association of Oil and Gas Producers(IOGP), and International Maritime Organization (IMO). 41 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE ADVANCING NET ZERO EMPOWERING LIVES HOW WE OPERATE SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY
