Diversity, equity and inclusion We are committed to providing a work environment that embraces diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) regardless of gender, age, nationality or religion. As a participant in the UN Global Compact, we uphold principles that promote human rights, labor equity and non-discrimination. Youth engagement remains a strategic priority. In 2024, 48% of our workforce was under the age of 38, and 24% of leadership roles were held by employees in this age group. Through structured engagement, innovation platforms and an active Youth Committee, young professionals contribute meaningfully to our initiatives and strategic priorities. Our workforce represents 126 nationalities, reflecting ADNOC’s diverse, inclusive culture and its ability to attract and retain talent. We also maintain a strong focus on Emiratization in line with the UAE’s national priorities to develop and empower local talent. In 2024, ADNOC exceeded its Emiratization target of 60% with 61% and has since set a more ambitious goal to further increase national representation, particularly in technical and leadership roles. To support these priorities, we deliver targeted development programs such as the Future Leaders Program, to help equip high-potential UAE Nationals with the skills, exposure and experience needed to lead in a dynamic energy sector. Our broader DEI initiatives include training on gender equity, inclusive leadership and cultural awareness. We also conduct specialized workshops for people of determination and deliver dedicated training for their managers, focused on inclusive practices, accessibility and bias reduction – driving a more supportive and equitable work environment for all.
