ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024: Driving Progress & Prosperity

DRIVING PROGRESS & PROSPERITY Sustainability Report 2024

Introduction from ADNOC’s Executive Leadership Team The world is undergoing a profound change, shaped by three powerful forces that are defining our future in ways we never thought possible. First, the growth of emerging markets, which now drives more than half of the world’s prosperity. Second, the fundamental transformation of energy systems is expanding our energy mix and creating entirely new industries. And finally, the exponential growth of AI which is changing the pace of change itself. Driving progress and prosperity

These trends have the potential not only to drive progress, but to put progress itself into overdrive. In a world where a billion people still lack access to energy, we believe the world needs a broad mix of energy solutions to convert that potential into reality. In 2024, ADNOC continued its efforts to meet the world’s growing energy needs whilst simultaneously delivering on its objectives to create a more prosperous and sustainable future. We maintained our industry-leading upstream carbon intensity of 7 kilograms of CO2 per barrel of oil equivalent (kgCO2e/boe) and achieved a significant reduction in our operational emissions of 6.6 million tCO2e. We have continued to advance our methane monitoring and reduction efforts, achieving a 22% decrease in methane emissions compared to 2023. We expanded carbon capture, grew our portfolio of low-carbon ammonia, continued to invest in low-carbon hydrogen and grew our renewables energy capacity to 51GW through our shareholding in Masdar. We also launched XRG, a transformative international energy investment company, focused on natural gas, chemicals and scalable energy solutions. Its portfolio includes operating and non-operating interests in industry-leading companies that are meeting the rapidly increasing global demand for energy and the chemicals that are essential to enable sustainable economic growth. In 2024, we fast-tracked our AI ambitions, enhancing and accelerating our strategy, driving efficiency and growth while reducing emissions. We deployed new AI solutions across our business and delivered energy solutions to power AI. We trained over 40,000 employees in AI to help ensure our people remain at the heart of ADNOC’s transformation. From enabling local manufacturing and job creation, to investing in education and training, we continued to drive prosperity and help build a UAE economy that is future ready. We returned $14.9 billion (AED 55.0 billion) to the UAE economy in 2024. Additionally, $19.6 billion (AED 72.3 billion) worth of products in our procurement pipeline were locally manufactured. To empower people, we created 7,000 new jobs for UAE Nationals in the private sector, bringing the total number of jobs created to 18,500 since 2018. Throughout the year, we remained focused on operating with integrity and care: for our people, the environment and the communities we serve. We also took important steps to protect the environment, including planting more than 2.8 million mangroves across the last two years as part of our large-scale mangrove restoration program. Everything we do is underpinned by our commitment to the highest standards of health and safety, a core value that is integral to our culture. We are deeply saddened to have experienced two fatalities in 2024 and have taken immediate steps to reinforce our safety protocols. The loss of our colleagues has strengthened our determination to uphold safety while fostering meaningful change. As we move forward, we are guided by a simple but powerful belief: energy is a force for good that drives progress and improves lives. At ADNOC, we will continue to act with clarity and conviction to help shape a sustainable future for all.

Flaring Carbon capture and storage We are committed to achieving zero routine flaring by 2030, in line with the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 Initiative. ADNOC was an early adopter of a zero routine flaring policy and, in 2023, became a founding signatory of the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), joining more than 50 companies to work toward net-zero operations by 2050, near-zero upstream methane emissions and zero routine flaring by 2030. ADNOC is targeting a carbon capture capacity of 10 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of CO2 by 2030 and we are leveraging our extensive geological expertise and advanced subsurface technologies to systematically identify, assess and develop geologically secure and technically viable CO₂ storage sites. These efforts are central to scaling up CCUS infrastructure and supporting the decarbonization of industrial value chains. Building on our flagship CCUS facility, Al Reyadah, the first commercial-scale CCUS project in the Middle East with a capacity to capture 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually from Emirates Steel, we have continued to advance critical milestones that we expect will enable scale-up of CCUS deployment across our operations and the UAE. These efforts are integral to delivering on our decarbonization goals and support the delivery of lower-carbon energy to our global customers. In 2023, ADNOC took final investment decisions on two major carbon capture and decarbonization projects, Habshan CCUS and Hail & Ghasha, increasing ADNOC’s committed carbon capture capacity to nearly 4 million tonnes of CO2 per year. Both projects are currently in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) phase, with Habshan CCUS expected to commence operations in 2026 and Hail and Ghasha by 2028. According to the World Bank Global Gas Flaring Tracker, the UAE has one of the lowest flare volumes and flaring intensities among oil- and gas- producing nations. ADNOC’s routine flaring in 2024 was reduced by 8% compared to 2023. Our overall flaring saw a marginal increase due to planned non-routine flaring primarily from well testing activities. We expect to continue to accelerate our efforts through the implementation of an integrated flare reduction program that focuses on: • Operational optimization through the installation of vapor recovery units and flare gas recovery systems • Engineering solutions to reduce flaring during maintenance, start-up and shut-down events • Deployment of real-time flare monitoring digital solutions designed to optimize response times, detect inefficiencies and continually track flaring performance against reduction targets Hail and Ghasha development – leading low-carbon energy growth The Hail and Ghasha development is a landmark project that integrates multiple decarbonization solutions into a single energy system. The project is designed to capture 1.5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, with the captured CO₂ transported onshore and securely stored underground. The project will also produce low-carbon hydrogen to displace fuel gas and reduce overall emissions, while drawing on electricity from nuclear and solar sources via the national grid. More than 60% of the total investment in the Hail and Ghasha project will be retained within the UAE through ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) program, reinforcing our role in supporting local economic development and climate action. ADNOC has successfully sequestered over 18,000 tonnes of CO2 from Fertiglobe’s UAE-based operations, marking a significant milestone in the world-first pilot project initiated in 2023 to permanently store CO₂ in Abu Dhabi’s onshore carbonate saline aquifers. The CO₂ injection site was identified through ADNOC’s extensive 3D seismic surveys and advanced subsurface modelling capabilities to identify optimal geological suitability for permanent storage. This milestone has supported the production of certified low-carbon ammonia, which was exported to Japan to generate clean electricity in the world’s first fully ammonia-powered turbine. In 2024, classification body DNV certified the feasibility of CO₂ storage at ADNOC’s West Aquifer site in the UAE, validating the site’s technical suitability for long-term CO₂ storage, which was a step toward enabling permanent and secure geological sequestration. Certification underpins our efforts to decarbonize the Al Ruwais industrial complex and the company’s broader carbon capture and storage (CCS) strategy, which is central to achieving our Net Zero by 2045 ambition. 68

Scaling low- carbon solutions By combining direct air capture with in-situ mineralization, the ADNOC–44.01 partnership has supported the advancement of a scientifically robust, safe and scalable pathway for carbon dioxide removal, positioning the UAE as a leader in sustainable carbon removal solutions. Building on the successful completion of the joint ADNOC and 44.01 pilot in 2023 that permanently mineralized 10 tonnes of CO₂ within Fujairah’s peridotite rock formations in under 100 days, 44.01 has announced plans to scale-up the pioneering carbon-to-rock project in the Emirate of Fujairah. The first phase of the scale-up will involve the injection of more than 300 tonnes of CO₂ over an extended period, aiming to demonstrate the feasibility of deploying this technology at scale within the UAE. CO2 mineralization process emissions are unavoidable. It is also essential for reducing emissions from gas-fired power generation and industrial heat applications where electrification may not be technically or economically feasible. In a significant step toward advancing global climate action, ADNOC, PETRONAS, and Storegga signed a joint study and development agreement in 2024 to explore offshore CCS opportunities in the Penyu Basin, offshore Peninsular Malaysia. The agreement targets the safe and permanent storage of at least 5 million tonnes of CO₂ per annum by 2030. Malaysia’s extensive network of deep saline aquifers presents a unique opportunity to develop a regional CCS hub in Southeast Asia. This initiative directly supports PETRONAS’ strategy to establish Malaysia as a leading CCS hub serving the broader Asia-Pacific region. 69 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 ADVANCING NET ZERO KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE EMPOWERING LIVES HOW WE OPERATE SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY

Low-carbon energies We expect that low-carbon hydrogen will play a vital role in unlocking additional decarbonization opportunities for the hard-to-abate industrial and transportation sectors. To this end, we are progressing our efforts to build low-carbon hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia supply chains, leveraging the UAE’s substantial gas reserves, CCUS capabilities and global partnerships. In 2024, ADNOC successfully delivered the world’s first certified bulk commercial shipment of low- carbon ammonia to Mitsui for use in clean-power generation in Japan. The low-carbon certification process, from production to delivery, has been conducted by TÜV SÜD. Enabled by CCS, the captured CO₂ was permanently stored in the world’s first fully sequestered CO₂ injection well in a carbonate saline aquifer. This landmark shipment, produced by Fertiglobe, builds on previous demonstration cargos delivered by ADNOC to customers in Asia and Germany. ADNOC has also embarked on the design of a facility in Abu Dhabi to produce up to 0.4 mtpa of low-carbon hydrogen per year by capturing up to 3 million tCO₂. ADNOC, together with its partners, TA’ZIZ, Fertiglobe, G.S. Energy Corporation and Mitsui are developing a 1mtpa lower-carbon ammonia facility at the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone. In 2024, TA’ZIZ awarded the construction contract for this facility with operations expected in 2027. The facility will strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as a hub for low-carbon fuels to meet growing global demand for clean hydrogen carriers. In another 2024 milestone, ADNOC has signed an agreement to acquire a 35% equity stake in ExxonMobil’s proposed low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia facility in Baytown, Texas. The investment is part of ADNOC’s international growth strategy and commitment to lower-carbon solutions. The facility aims to produce up to 0.9mtpa of low-carbon hydrogen and over 1mtpa of low-carbon ammonia, with approximately 98% of CO₂ captured through advanced CCUS technologies. Once operational, it is expected to be the world’s largest facility of its kind. Hydrogen for mobility In 2024, ADNOC Distribution launched the second phase of H2GO, the region’s first high- speed green hydrogen refueling station, in partnership with Abu Dhabi Mobility. This phase powers a fleet of hydrogen- fueled buses that will undergo a 12-month trial to evaluate the viability of hydrogen as a clean energy solution for Abu Dhabi’s public transport system. The station produces green hydrogen on-site using an electrolyser powered by clean- grid electricity, aligning with the UAE’s National Hydrogen Strategy and supporting the decarbonization of the transport sector. Located in Masdar City, the pilot project is enabled through collaboration with local and global partners, marking a key step toward advancing green hydrogen infrastructure and accelerating the deployment of low-emission mobility solutions in the region. 71 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE EMPOWERING LIVES HOW WE OPERATE SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY ADVANCING NET ZERO

At ADNOC, we believe that the energy transition and decarbonization of the oil and gas sector can only be achieved through strong partnerships and collaboration across the entire value chain. We are actively working with industry peers and technology providers to drive impactful changes. We also participate in global initiatives to share best practices and drive collective emissions reduction efforts across the industry. “ Wood is delighted to confirm ADNOC Refining’s capability to produce Lower Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF), a significant milestone in the journey towards decarbonizing the aviation sector. Through our comprehensive carbon lifecycle assessment, we have validated ADNOC's potential to meet stringent international certification standards. This achievement underscores ADNOC's role in advancing lower-carbon solutions and demonstrates their commitment to supporting the sustainable growth of the aviation industry.” ● Dan Carter President of Technical Consulting & Decarbonisation, Wood Accelerating decarbonization of our industry As part of our commitment to a lower- carbon future, ADNOC is leveraging its decarbonization capabilities to support hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation. The aviation sector grew by approximately 10% in 2024 compared to 2023 and is projected to grow by approximately 40% by 2030 relative to 2019, underscoring the urgency of deploying scalable emissions reduction solutions. ADNOC believes both sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and lower-carbon aviation fuel (LCAF) are critical fuels that will support decarbonization of the aviation sector. Enabling aviation decarbonization through SAF and LCAF In 2024, Wood completed a feasibility study confirming ADNOC Refining’s readiness to produce LCAF in alignment with the anticipated certification process of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). Our investment across the value chain will help us play a vital role in enabling LCAF, which should in turn enable near-term emissions reductions using existing infrastructure. SAF represents one of the most effective solutions to decarbonizing aviation. In 2023, ADNOC Refining became the first company in the Middle East to receive International Sustainability Carbon Certification (ISCC) for SAF made from used cooking oil. We successfully produced 80 tonnes of SAF, sufficient to power a round-trip Abu Dhabi to Paris flight, with up to 81% lower-carbon intensity than conventional jet fuel. These efforts reflect ADNOC’s strategic commitment to advancing low-carbon aviation and enabling the global energy transition. 72

Protecting nature and biodiversity is vital for life on earth and crucial to improving lives in our communities. It is important to protect our natural ecosystems to meet global climate change and biodiversity targets. We aim to have a positive impact on the environment through our actions to protect, maintain, enhance and restore biodiversity in areas where we work, particularly in sensitive sites onshore and offshore. SDGs 2024 performance • 0.29% freshwater withdrawal of total water withdrawal • >15,000 tonnes of waste diverted from landfill • Planted over 300,000 mangroves and replenished our 2023 plantation, bringing the total to more than 2.8m mangroves planted towards our 10 million mangroves by 2030 target Material topics • Air emissions • Waste management • Biodiversity • Water and water effluents management • Resource use and circular economy • Closure and rehabilitation 76

We strive to systematically assess, mitigate and manage the environmental risks associated with the stages of our activities. Throughout the lifecycle of any project or operating facility, from development to decommissioning, we continually monitor and report to drive effective environmental management. As reflected in our Group Sustainability Policy Statement18 and HSE Policy19, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint, protecting nature and biodiversity, practicing water stewardship and promoting circularity. Our Health Safety Environment (HSE) Control Framework20, supported by environmental management standards, provides a systematic approach to environmental protection, pollution prevention and control and environmental performance monitoring. Our approach We conduct Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) during project planning for all greenfield and brownfield developments in accordance with company requirements and national and international regulations and standards. The EIAs help set baseline conditions and include comprehensive biodiversity surveys in sensitive areas. The outcomes inform mitigation measures and guide Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) to minimize potential negative impacts and ensure regulatory compliance. For projects requiring international funding, we make sure that the EIAs align with global standards such as the Equator Principles (EP) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards. We endeavor to follow international best practices to develop project site closure and rehabilitation plans to reduce environmental and health impacts associated with out-of-service plants and affected sites. These include mitigation and monitoring plans for effective closure, rehabilitation and restoration. We dispose of final assets and fulfill remedial obligations in accordance with the relevant environmental laws and regulations. We regularly update our closure plans, which are intended to assure the restoration of land use for the community. 18 For more details on the ADNOC Group Sustainability Policy Statement please refer to chapter “How we Operate”. 19 For more details on the ADNOC Group HSE Policy please refer to chapter “Keeping our people safe”. 20 For more details on our HSE Framework and please refer to chapter “Keeping our people safe”.

Air quality Potential air quality impacts are assessed through EIAs, which incorporate air dispersion modelling to evaluate emissions against baseline environmental conditions. The outcomes of these assessments inform the development of tailored air quality management plans. Design and operational emission thresholds are in place for major air pollutants and are meant to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. We implement targeted pollution control plans and measures to meet these thresholds and reduce impact. Depending on the operation, actions may include: • Deploying best available engineering controls and technologies, such as dry low nitrogen oxides (NOx) combustion systems • Electrifying and enhancing the efficiency of power turbines • Conducting regular leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs to mitigate fugitive emissions • Switching from sour to sweet gas fuel to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions • Recovering waste heat through dedicated energy efficiency projects • Installing vapor recovery compressors and ejectors to reduce flaring in design and upgrade projects • Installing oil treatment units to reduce emissions during loading operations In 2024, our Ruwais refinery was upgraded with a more efficient sulfur recovery unit (SRU), resulting in a reduction of approximately 1,200 tonnes of sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions per year. All new plants are equipped with the best available sulfur recovery technologies to support ongoing emissions reduction efforts. Monitoring ADNOC maintains robust systems designed to monitor and report on both point source emissions and ambient air quality across its operations. Point source emissions monitoring is conducted under the Air Emissions Monitoring System (AEMS), launched in 2020, which utilizes Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) and Predictive Emissions Monitoring Systems (PEMS). As of 2024, 33% of ADNOC’s point emission sources are covered under the AEMS, with full integration targeted across our facilities by 2026. We operate a network of air quality monitoring stations which continually monitor the ambient air quality around our facilities, collecting real-time data into a simulation tool that informs our air quality management program. We collaborate with the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) to oversee ambient air quality and drive proactive interventions. Our system is linked with the EAD air quality database and we have provided EAD with access to 10 fixed air quality management system stations, increasing the geospatial coverage of EAD’s air quality monitoring network across Abu Dhabi. We have established processes to report, investigate and respond to emissions-related incidents. These include root cause analyses and the implementation of corrective actions. Performance In 2024, ADNOC achieved a reduction in SOx emissions compared to 2023, primarily driven by a significant decrease in acid gas flaring and the adoption of revised emission factors for certain activities. The increase in non- methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) emissions is attributed to heightened tanker loading activities. We recorded a marginal increase in NOx emissions, largely attributed to elevated power demand associated with major projects, as well as the addition of new drilling rigs. We continue in our efforts to improve our emissions performance. Air quality management is a critical component of ADNOC’s environmental programs across our operations. Non-GHG emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and particulate matter (PM) can impact public health and the environment. With air quality as a national priority, we seek to align our efforts with the UAE National Air Quality Agenda 2031. 78

Monitoring Water use monitoring and measurement We actively monitor water usage across our value chain by leveraging online monitoring systems to track consumption from each source as part of our sustainable water management. A comprehensive water balance is maintained at our operations, providing a clearer understanding of water inputs, reuse and discharge volumes. This approach enables us to further optimize efficiency, reduce waste and enhance water conservation efforts. We continually monitor seawater withdrawal levels and parameters. Additionally, we monitor groundwater resources to understand recharge rates and provide for their long-term availability for the benefit of current and future local water users. Wastewater monitoring and measurement Our wastewater effluent management program is designed to safeguard the environment and public health by aligning with relevant environmental regulations24 and internal corporate standards. Approximately 90% of our water disposal comprises of seawater used in closed-loop cooling systems, discharged safely after cooling with no chemical treatment required. Other wastewater streams include produced water, process wastewater, brine reject, flowback water and domestic wastewater. Streams undergo primary, secondary or tertiary treatment to meet regulatory discharge limits. We maintain ongoing monitoring of discharge quality and endeavor to implement corrective actions where needed. In 2024, no incidents of non- compliance with discharge limits were recorded. ADNOC reports wastewater quality trends to regulatory authorities and has a robust spill prevention and response framework in place to reduce risks and enable rapid containment25. ADNOC regularly monitors ambient groundwater and marine water conditions against baseline levels to support the effectiveness of its control measures and ongoing improvement of wastewater management practices. This monitoring includes groundwater wells, soil quality, marine water and sediment quality surveys, as well as interstitial liner monitoring. ADNOC Onshore: Transforming produced water management ADNOC’s Bu Hasa and Asab oil fields utilize Produced Water Reinjection (PWRI) technology to enhance oil recovery and manage water resources sustainably. In both fields, produced water, extracted alongside oil, is treated and reinjected into reservoirs to maintain pressure, improving oil recovery efficiency. This process reduces environmental impact by reducing the disposal of water into the sea. PWRI technology supports ADNOC’s sustainable water management efforts by helping to optimize water use, driving a reduced environmental footprint, and supporting long- term production. 24 In Abu Dhabi, wastewater is regulated by the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy. All marine vessels comply with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Discharges to the marine environment are regulated under the Federal Law No (24) of 1999 for the Protection and Development of the Environment. Ambient marine water and sediments and soil quality are regulated under the Abu Dhabi Specification Guideline. 25 For more details on our spill prevention and response measures, please refer to the ‘Spill prevention’ section in this chapter. 84

Waste management Effective waste management is essential to our effort to reducing potential impacts to nature and communities, as well as supporting sustainable operations. We generate both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, such as chemicals, sludge and industrial by-products, across our exploration, production and refining operations. Aligned with the UAE’s National Agenda for Integrated Waste Management, the requirements set by the Abu Dhabi waste management company, Tadweer Group, and the UAE Circular Economy Policy 2021-2031, we are committed to treating and managing all waste safely, from generation to disposal while adopting circularity principles in our approach. Our waste management approach is built on the mitigation hierarchy principles of source reduction, reuse, recycling/recovery, treatment and responsible disposal. These principles are incorporated into the design and operation of all of our facilities. Our waste management standard requires the development and implementation of waste management plans to provide for a systematic approach to handling generated waste. We have established the duty of care principle across waste-generating activities within our operations. This helps support strict compliance with manifest tracking, transport permits and regulatory approvals for waste handling. Waste transfers are overseen by the Bolisaty system, a smart integrated waste database developed by the Tadweer Group. We engage licensed third-party contractors for the collection, segregation, transportation, treatment and disposal of all waste. Hazardous waste is to be directed to a MAGMA waste treatment facility (formerly known as BeAAT facility)27 and other approved management facilities which use proven technology for the safe treatment and disposal of hazardous waste. Where applicable, a proportion of this waste is sold to approved third parties for recycling and/or reuse. All non-hazardous waste is expected to be classified and segregated as per the requirements of the EAD and Tadweer Group. Whenever feasible, waste is sent for recycling or composting. To help carry our waste handling activities in compliance with regulations, ADNOC verifies that contractors hold valid permits, maintain a clear chain of custody, collect destruction or receipt certificates and conduct periodic audits of treatment and disposal facilities. In 2024, we conducted a comprehensive audit of waste management practices across several operations. The audit assessed compliance with ADNOC’s Waste Management Standard and the Duty of Care principle. 27 A MAGMA (formerly known as BeAAT) hazardous waste treatment facility is dedicated to the treatment, storage and safe disposal of hazardous waste generated by ADNOC and other industries in Abu Dhabi. This facility handles various types of waste, including liquid, sludge and solid waste, using advanced technologies to support environmental protection and compliance with health and safety standards. The MAGMA facility focuses on sustainability by promoting the recovery, recycling and reuse of waste streams whenever feasible. Waste management initiatives Our Waste Management Reduction 2030 Roadmap leverages technology and data- driven solutions to reduce waste, manage resources efficiently and deliver cost savings. We work to increase waste diversion from landfills through targeted initiatives such as recycling waste oil and electronic waste, composting, organic waste and converting cooking oil into biofuels. In 2024, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tadweer Group to strengthen collaboration in waste management practices. The MoU covers a range of activities including the expansion of waste management facilities, implementation of recycling stations and vending machines and processing food waste. The adoption of innovative waste management technologies is a key enabler of these activities. 86

“ Tadweer Group is proud to partner with ADNOC to drive innovative, waste-to-value solutions that support the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy and COP28 commitments. Together, we’re advancing circular economy principles through initiatives focused on unlocking the value of waste as well as reducing, reusing, and recycling this invaluable resource. We’re also tapping into the production of alternative resources derived from waste such as sustainable fuels, including sustainable aviation fuels(SAF), renewable diesel, and naphtha. As partners, we are driving sustainable change and safeguarding the future of our planet by harnessing waste as an underutilized resource and showcasing how collaboration is a catalyst for powerful green initiatives.

IMAGE GOES HERE Nature and biodiversity Biodiversity and nature are crucial for sustaining life on Earth, underpinning global economies, combating climate change and supporting food systems. In 2024, the global community convened at the 16th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16) to address critical issues such as the ocean-climate-biodiversity nexus and the identification of ecologically or biologically significant marine areas. In the UAE, the designation of nine globally significant Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) underscores the nation's commitment to preserving nature and protecting endangered species. These efforts are vital as they enhance ecosystem resilience, support sustainable development and align with the UAE's vision for a sustainable future. Our operations are located in regions rich in marine and terrestrial life, and our activities have the potential to affect and influence the species that inhabit these environments and the ecosystem services that individuals, communities and businesses, including our own, depend on. Our commitment to reducing negative environmental impacts, protecting habitats and conserving species is reinforced by a proactive and integrated biodiversity management strategy that is designed to take into account the unique ecological sensitivities of the areas we operate in. The UAE's natural landscape, shaped by its hot and dry climate, features three main ecosystems: vast deserts covering 80% of the country, mountain regions and 2,390 kilometers of coastal and marine environments along the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. These diverse habitats support a wide array of species. Approximately 25% of ADNOC concession areas and operations overlap with nine protected areas, which are home to species listed on the UAE National Red List28 of critical or endangered species. Notable species include the hawksbill turtle, the osprey, the houbara, the dugong and the Arabian oryx. 28 The UAE National Red List was developed with support and in alignment with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. 90

29 All concessions are owned by ADNOC and located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The type of operations in these concessions is extractive and production. All concessions contain portions of protected areas. Environmental protected areas are managed by the EAD. Concessions in or near protected areas “ The UAE’s natural heritage – from its iconic deserts to its rich marine ecosystems – is both a national treasure and a global ecological asset. As the country advances its economic ambitions, it is crucial that development goes hand in hand with environmental protection. ADNOC's dedication to integrating sustainability into its operations demonstrates that economic growth and environmental care are not mutually exclusive, but must coexist. This strategy reflects the UAE's broader goal of a prosperous future based on responsible, sustainable behavior.” ● H.E.

Our approach is guided by our Biodiversity Framework and aims to safeguard, preserve and conserve the biodiversity within our concession areas. The framework is intended to We consider international frameworks and best practices, including the International Finance Corporation's (IFC) Performance Standard 6 (PS6), Equator Principles (EP4) and industry best practices such as IPIECA industry guidance. We work closely with the EAD, which regulates and manages protected areas in Abu Dhabi, including those within our concessions in Abu Dhabi. The mitigation hierarchy – avoid, minimize, restore and offset – is embedded into our Biodiversity Framework and expected to be applied throughout project lifecycles, including project design, construction, operation, decommissioning and reclamation. EIAs are conducted for new projects and significant operational modifications. Biodiversity assessments, a critical element of EIAs, involve comprehensive ecological surveys to establish a align with federal and local government mandates, including the UAE’s National Biodiversity Strategy and the Abu Dhabi Biodiversity Protection Policy. Conserving habitats and preserving species Developing and managing programs to conserve habitats, including mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass beds and deserts, where we are present, and to preserve species such as the green and hawksbill sea turtle, dugongs, osprey and the Arabian oryx.

Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPs) are developed for operations within critical and sensitive areas and contain the ecosystem-specific mitigation measures and monitoring that are to be incorporated into a project throughout its lifecycle. All ADNOC activities within defined protected areas require an EAD permit, which mandates comprehensive biodiversity management plans, regular environmental monitoring and the submission of compliance reports and any additional requirements as determined by the inhabited species. Habitat conservation and species preservation activities include mangrove and seagrass planting, the deployment of artificial coral reef habitats and the monitoring and management of species such as the hawksbill turtle, the osprey, houbara, dugong and the Arabian oryx across our concessions. We track biodiversity changes through monitoring programs and assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures. Monitoring programs are tailored based on the criticality and sensitivity of species and habitats and may include species tracking programs, periodic biodiversity assessments and regular site visits to evaluate biodiversity management efforts. 30 For more information, refer to the ‘Environmental management’ section in this chapter. 92

Conservation of the Arabian oryx The Arabian oryx, once on the verge of extinction, owes its survival to the visionary efforts of our Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who arranged for the capture of two breeding pairs. Through the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Arabian Oryx Release Program, managed by EAD, the UAE is home to Supporting nature-based solutions Nature-based solutions are integral to addressing environmental challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. ADNOC's tree-planting efforts exemplify this approach, aligning with both UAE and global initiatives such as the UAE Plant the Emirates program and the One Trillion Trees Initiative of the World Economic Forum. Our projects focus on planting mangroves, ghaf trees and date palms, each playing a crucial role in enhancing the environment and supporting sustainability goals. Ghaf and palm trees The ghaf tree is a resilient native species critical to the UAE’s desert ecosystem. It supports biodiversity, enriches soil quality and thrives in arid conditions. At Bu Hasa, ADNOC repurposed a former disposal site into an 8,000-square-meter forest featuring over 700 ghaf trees. The forest is sustained by drip irrigation using treated sewage effluent, supported by solar- powered lighting and a wind turbine to reduce resource use. The area is now attracting native birdlife and desert species, enhancing local biodiversity. The date palms are valued for their ability to provide shade and support biodiversity in desert environments. ADNOC has planted more than 6,000 date palms across several operational sites, including Zirku Island, as part of broader landscape and ecological enhancement efforts. Biodiversity monitoring is conducted across these areas to assess habitat conditions and species presence, helping to guide adaptive conservation actions where needed. Mangroves Mangroves play a critical role in strengthening coastal resilience, protecting biodiversity and capturing carbon. In support of the UAE’s national target to plant 100 million mangroves by 2030, ADNOC has committed to contribute 10 million mangroves as part of its broader Sustainability Strategy. Since 2023, ADNOC has planted over 2.8 million mangroves, including more than 300,000 in 2024 alone, using advanced drone technology developed in the UAE. As part of our long- term ecosystem restoration efforts, we also replenished areas planted in 2023 to support their continued growth and help us meet our targeted expansion numbers. These achievements were made possible through drone-based aerial seed dispersal, enabling the distribution of over 7 million mangrove seeds to date. In 2024, ADNOC joined the Abu Dhabi Mangrove Initiative, led by EAD, to accelerate mangrove restoration, align local actions, drive research and promote private sector and community participation. ADNOC was also recognized by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) for its contribution to mangrove plantation efforts. ADNOC’s mangrove program integrates advanced monitoring tools, including machine learning and normalized difference vegetation index analysis, to track mangrove health and restoration success. Community engagement remains a core pillar of the initiative. In 2024, more than 700 ADNOC employees and 500 student volunteers participated in restoration events, with over 6,500 volunteer hours recorded across 17 sessions. To date, more than 26,000 youth and 990 employees have been engaged in awareness and planting activities. ADNOC Distribution extended this effort to the public by launching the Adopt a Mangrove feature on its mobile app. This allows customers to redeem loyalty points to plant mangroves and track their impact in real time via a blockchain-enabled monitoring system. This initiative makes ADNOC Distribution the first fuel retailer globally to offer customer-led mangrove adoption with transparent digital tracking, connecting everyday consumer action with national and global climate goals. the largest population of Arabian oryx in the world today, a conservation success which saw the species reclassified from endangered to vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2011. ADNOC actively supports the UAE's conservation efforts by contributing to the protection of the Arabian oryx at its sites in Qusahwira, Das Island and Zirku Island. Through the provision of medical aid, food and shelter, ADNOC collaborates with EAD to help monitor and sustain the Arabian oryx population, reinforcing the UAE’s commitment to the conservation of this iconic species. 93 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 ADVANCING NET ZERO KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE EMPOWERING LIVES HOW WE OPERATE SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY

The Hail and Ghasha project holds a critical role in the UAE’s strategic objective of gas self-sufficiency and expanding gas exports. The groundbreaking initiative – the first of its kind aiming to operate with net-zero CO₂ emissions will capture 1.5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, which will be transported onshore and securely stored underground. Additionally, the low-carbon hydrogen produced will serve as a cleaner alternative to fuel gas, further reducing emissions. Situated within the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve (MMBR), the UAE’s first UNESCO- designated biosphere reserve, which comprises more than 60% of Abu Dhabi’s marine protected zones; the project will also harness clean energy from Abu Dhabi’s electricity grid, utilizing both nuclear and renewable sources. Illustrating how large-scale industrial developments can integrate sustainable solutions, the Hail and Gasha project has applied biodiversity protection, innovative infrastructure, restoration and technology to deliver more energy with lower emissions and environmental impact. By focusing on both energy production and environmental stewardship, ADNOC demonstrates that industrial development can coexist with the preservation of vital marine ecosystems throughout the lifecycle of the project. During the concept and design phase, ADNOC, in collaboration with the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi (EAD), conducted one of the largest marine Environmental Impact Assessments ever undertaken in the country, with the findings integrated into a comprehensive biodiversity program. Key measures undertaken since then include marking the MMBR sea boundaries, refurbishing the Bu Tinah Central Building to support EAD’s marine research and protection, surveying the marine biodiversity of the area, developing the MMBR Marine Species Catalogue and education programs, restoring mangroves, installing osprey nests and deploying artificial reefs to boost biodiversity. The project also reduces environmental disruption by using artificial islands, significantly reducing the need for dredging across more than 100 planned well locations. For ongoing facilities’ construction and drilling activity, ADNOC is implementing an EAD-approved Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP), which restricts activities like dredging and pipe laying to designated areas, while enforcing strict controls on marine ecology, noise, air and soil quality to uphold best environmental practices. In line with ADNOC’s broader sustainability goals, the project also includes planting one million mangroves, deploying enhanced artificial coral reefs and supporting marine conservation, including a turtle rescue and rehabilitation program in collaboration with EAD and other partners. Technologically advanced drilling methods are being used to eliminate traditional well construction steps by enabling fluid recovery and reinjection, further reducing the environmental impact. Hail and Ghasha – an innovative approach to development and biodiversity “ As an environment engineer on this project, I am proud to see how our efforts balance human development with nature. The construction of artificial islands, named after traditional pearl diving sites, honors the region's rich cultural heritage, providing a controlled and minimally invasive environment, allowing marine species to flourish and thrive. This initiative reflects our commitment to preserving the natural beauty and ecological balance of the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve.” ● Nada Abujarad Environment Engineer, ADNOC Upstream 94

Employee engagement Training and development Employee wellbeing We conduct an annual employee engagement survey with support from a third-party provider. The survey is made available in three languages (Arabic, English and Malayalam) to gather insights from our employees.

We follow up with annual pulse surveys to assess the effectiveness of our actions and to improve engagement. In the 2024 employee engagement survey, 82% We offer a broad range of training and development opportunities to build capabilities across the organization – strengthening skills, supporting career growth and reinforcing a high- performance culture. ADNOC is strengthening its talent pipeline to support a high-performance, accountable, multi-skilled and diverse workforce. Our programs are intended to cover the full employee lifecycle – from youth development to executive leadership – driving alignment with evolving business needs. We focus on three priorities: 1. Upskilling on emerging skills 2. Developing future leaders 3. Digitizing the learning experience for greater efficiency and impact through an AI-enabled platform We take a data-driven approach, using our ADNOC master skill library and insights from the organization-wide capability drive to guide internal skill benchmarking.

Based on this framework, we deliver targeted programs such as the Talent Accelerator and Leadership Transition, along with specialized training in AI, environmental stewardship, data analysis and cybersecurity. In 2024, employees completed approximately 1.5 million hours of training – approximately a 17% increase from 2023 – reflecting our ongoing commitment to workforce development as a foundation for sustainable performance.

The program takes a holistic approach to wellbeing, prioritizing people, enhancing workplace quality, strengthening social cohesion and promoting a sustainable environment for employees, the community and the UAE. Its goal is to empower employees to realize their personal and professional goals, build resilience, boost productivity and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Multiple functions across ADNOC are engaged in driving progress through targeted initiatives that support women’s advancement in technical, managerial and leadership roles. Highlights include: • Our founding partnership with Aurora50’s Pathway20, the region’s first board-career accelerator for women, aimed at increasing the number of qualified women as board directors and connecting them to leading companies Investing in and engaging with our communities We believe that our success and resilience as a company is connected to the success and resilience of the communities we serve. Beyond economic contribution, our social impact is measured by how we manage community concerns and develop the communities in which we operate. With significant local presence and wide-ranging operations, our social license to operate is rooted in trust and social development. We work with government entities and other external stakeholders to help us have a positive impact on community development. We are committed to creating positive impact through community initiatives and social volunteering. Guided by our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Strategy, we invest in programs to enhance education, promote health and wellbeing, conserve the environment and empower diverse communities in line with the national development goals. While many of our programs and initiatives have been in place for several years, each year we assess how we can further improve and develop our CSR approach. We actively work to embed social considerations into our operations to help us identify potential impacts and community concerns early and manage them responsibly. This includes maintaining open and transparent communication channels with communities and aligning with a globally recognized standard to safeguard against social risks. “Promoting gender balance and diversity is essential for sustainable development. By signing the UAE Gender Equality Acceleration Pledge, ADNOC is taking significant steps to empower women and foster an inclusive workplace.

Managing social risk Our Social Risk Management (SRM) Standard is aligned with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Environmental and Social Performance Standard and national requirements. We actively identify, assess, monitor and address any potential social impact on the communities where we operate and on stakeholders linked to our activities. The SRM standard provides guidelines to undertake comprehensive social risk management for all our green and brownfield projects, from concept to construction, and from operation to decommissioning. We follow a structured process for managing the social impacts of our operations on communities and stakeholders which includes a requirement for robust stakeholder engagement plans. As part of these plans, we keep stakeholders informed about project developments and potential impacts through various channels, including brochures, SMS messages, group discussions and face-to-face meetings. We also provide multiple communication channels to enable communities and stakeholders to escalate any concerns and grievances related to our activities. This includes hotlines and specific teams responsible for promptly addressing and resolving concerns. This is a requirement in every ADNOC Group company. During the reporting period, cross- functional teams conducted more than 90 social risk assessments covering both ongoing operations and new projects. No site assessed was classified as having high social risk. We maintained ongoing engagement with identified stakeholders including over 175 face-to-face meetings, three SRM-related majlis meetings, 106 group discussion meetings and nine open townhall meetings in 2024 as part of our social risk processes.

Engaging the community in the world’s largest 3D seismic survey Thamama Excellence Center, ADNOC and BGP conducted the world’s largest 3D seismic survey, covering 95,000 square kilometers of Abu Dhabi’s land and waters. Valued at $2.9 billion, this project aimed to enhance the UAE’s oil and gas exploration capabilities. A key aspect of this project was the extensive community engagement campaign led by ADNOC. To communicate and help address public concerns, the team distributed nearly 50,000 brochures and sent SMS alerts to over 40,000 residents ahead of seismic activities. They also installed signboards throughout operational zones and published educational content on social media. Direct engagement with the community was a priority. The team conducted majlis presentations, organized 17 school-based workshops and operated the BGP educational caravan on Hudayriat Island during weekends. Additionally, a seismic bus was stationed at mosques, schools and restaurants to provide information and answer questions. A dedicated hotline received 645 public enquiries related to noise and equipment. To help avoid disruptions, the team designed surveying activities to reduce the impact of vibrations generated deep underground. Equipment noise was kept to a minimum and work schedules were adjusted in response to community feedback. Offshore activities to minimize environmental impact included marine mammal observation and protection protocols. 114

Enterprise risk management Risk management is an integral part of ADNOC’s activities and decisions and fundamental to achieving our organizational objectives. Our enterprise risk management framework is based on the ISO 31000 Risk Management Guidelines and COSO's Enterprise Risk Management guidance integrating with strategy setting and performance management. 130

Our unified enterprise risk management (ERM) framework and standard bring together issues related to health, safety, environment, climate, financial and operational risks, within one management system, driving consistency in our risk management practices across the group. This includes an updated risk breakdown structure which defines the risk categories applicable across our entire business operations. Our ERM framework defines a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, evaluating, prioritizing, monitoring and responding to risks, supported through bespoke processes and enabled by a digital risk management platform serving as a single source of truth for managing risks. Risk management tools, such as and not limited to a unified corporate risk matrix, defined risk attitude statements and established interface across all risk assurance functions. Our risk assurance functions include: Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), Sustainability Executive Function, Information Security, Corporate Business Continuity, Emergency Response & Crisis Management, Corporate Compliance, Legal, Governance & Compliance, Financial Risk Management, Project Risk Management, Fraud Risk Management, and Asset Integrity & Profess Safety. Risk governance Our Board of Directors provides ultimate risk oversight. The Audit Committee assists the ADNOC Board in overseeing the Company’s governance, financial reporting, risk management and internal control activities. It reviews the company’s strategies and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management systems and the effectiveness of controls in place to mitigate material business risks. The ELT requires risk assessments and mitigation plans to be completed for each matter it reviews, endorses and approves, which includes HSE matters such as ADNOC’s business continuity plans, HSE policies, strategic objectives, strategies and the disclosure of company information relating to production and emissions. The Investment Committee (IC) reviews and endorses the ERM framework and oversees risk data documentation and maintenance, that Risk Action Plans are implemented where appropriate, according to the processes and workflows defined in the ERM standard, and where appropriate, that risk data is communicated effectively to the ADNOC Board of Directors. Risk assessments are performed for matters presented to each Business Leadership Committee, including in respect of organizational matters, non-procurement commercial matters and significant investments matters, and material risks are identified, documented and communicated, along with risk mitigation plans. The Group Chief Financial Officer, in collaboration with each Group company CEO, is responsible for ensuring adequate support for the implementation of ERM activities and providing periodic updates to the ADNOC IC regarding the most significant risks. The CSO is responsible for ensuring that sustainability-related risks are governed through established processes, controls and procedures. The responsibilities related to sustainability oversight are often delegated to specific management- level positions or committees. The Group ERM function is responsible for the effective implementation of the ERM framework across the group. This involves providing guidance and support to Group company ERM departments, facilitating integrated risk and performance reviews and monitoring top risks on a ongoing basis. Group companies have risk management committees and ERM departments in place and continuously maintain and update their respective risk registers and monitor risks to identify Group company risks and their impact on objectives. Risk champions and risk owners are responsible for risk management of specified business functions and for managing action plans respectively. Risk management Risk identification exercises are conducted at least annually. The corporate risk matrix is utilized to consistently assess and prioritize risk based on their potential impact and likelihood against five impact types: HSE, society and reputation, financial, investment value and objectives. For certain risk assurance functions, such as Sustainability Executive Function, bespoke assessment scales are used and calibrated to ERM reporting. We maintain continuous visibility of the top risks across the Group through quarterly reporting from Group companies to their respective business directorates, providing updates on the effective management of risks and their impact on the organization's strategic objectives and business plans. A dedicated in-house ERM training program has been established to promote consistent implementation of ERM activities across the organization and improve the overall risk culture. 131 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 HOW WE OPERATE KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE ADVANCING NET ZERO EMPOWERING LIVES SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY

Climate-related risks ADNOC is strategically positioned to mitigate climate-related risks while seizing opportunities arising from the global energy transition. To support this, we have developed a Climate Change Risk Framework (CCRF) that defines a structured, enterprise- wide approach for identifying, assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities across our operations and assets. The CCRF includes detailed climate hazard and prospect taxonomy, supported by prioritization criteria and assessment guidelines, which will serve as the foundation for identifying and managing climate-related risks and opportunities across our operations. The assessment process will: ERM governance Risk management process Linkage and integration Enablers Assurance coordination • Evaluate potential impact, timescale, exposure and readiness to manage identified risks, considering the magnitude and severity of potential effects as well as likelihood • Assess vulnerability of business segments and the organization’s readiness to respond • Be scenario-based using IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) scenarios including Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) SSP1-26, SSP2- 45 and SSP5-85. Transition risks are assessed using the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) suite of models and scenarios published in 2024. A 10-year interval is considered for evaluating risks We are advancing our efforts to integrate climate risk considerations into strategic decision-making and enterprise risk management systems to enhance organizational resilience. As part of this, we will be conducting physical climate risk assessments across our asset portfolio to identify exposure to climate-related hazards and evaluate appropriate adaptation measures. These assessments will help ensure that our assets are resilient under a range of future climate scenarios. Enterprise risk management Proactive corporate culture Continuous improvement and staying relevant Training and development Communication and reporting 132

Our ethics and compliance program sets out the approach to managing compliance obligations, mitigating compliance risks and upholding the highest levels of ethical standards. The Group Ethics and Compliance function is responsible for the development, implementation and review of the Group Ethics and Compliance program with oversight from the MD & GCEO, ADNOC Board of Directors and the ADNOC Audit Committee. Our Group Ethics and Compliance Program is certified under ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management Systems) and ISO 37301 (Compliance Management Systems). Our Code of Conduct sets out our commitment to conducting business ethically, responsibly and in compliance with laws and regulations. It sets the requirements and expectations for our employees and contractors to act with integrity at all times. Our Supplier and Partner Code of Ethics applies to all third parties we do business with, including suppliers and strategic partners34. It sets out the rules and standards that are necessary to conduct our business in an ethical and compliant manner and in accordance with our values. We have adopted and implemented corporate compliance policies, standards and procedures across all key compliance risk areas, and continue to review and update these as required for a company of our size and structure, operating in the industries we do. In 2024, we introduced new key policies, standards and guidelines to address the ethical use of AI, privacy and data protection. Operating with integrity Ethical practices, compliance with laws and regulations and transparency are essential to building trust with stakeholders, fostering a culture of accountability and ensuring long-term success. By upholding the highest standards of integrity, ADNOC not only enhances its reputation, but also contributes to the broader goal of sustainable development, ensuring that its operations positively impact the environment, society and the economy. 133 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 HOW WE OPERATE KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE ADVANCING NET ZERO EMPOWERING LIVES SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY 34 For additional information refer to the Responsible sourcing section of this chapter.

Compliance assessment and monitoring We conduct compliance risk assessments periodically to identify, measure, and update ethics and compliance risks in our business activities, assess current state of controls and develop risk mitigation plans as required. We also assess adherence to the compliance obligations and the compliance program across the ADNOC Group.

Addressing corruption, internally and collectively, aligns with our company values. All our suppliers, customers and other third parties who work with us are subject to, amongst others, anti-bribery and corruption exposure risk assessments as part of our integrity due diligence process. 134

Raising concerns Training and awareness Conflicts of interest Gifts and entertainment ADNOC Group is committed to an open and transparent culture where everyone is empowered to speak up whenever our values and integrity are at risk. We ensure concerns can be reported in a manner that is legitimate, fair and equitable. This includes employee engagement surveys, ad hoc workers’ committees, targeted contractor helplines, a direct line to the Group Compliance team via a compliance phone contact number and mailbox and an anonymous whistleblowing helpline Takallam (which means ‘to speak’ in Arabic) run by an independent third party on our behalf. The whistleblowing line is available to employees, contractors, other third parties and the general public 24/7 in both English and Arabic languages. Any concerns received are handled in strict confidence. In accordance with the ADNOC Group Whistleblowing and Non-Retaliation Standard, we strictly prohibit retaliation of any kind against anyone who reports a business ethics concern in good faith or cooperates with an investigation. We have policies and processes in place to resolve issues identified through Takallam or via other channels. We are committed to ensuring concerns or grievances are investigated impartially and free from attempts by interested parties to influence the outcomes. Any remedial measures are based on fairness, equality and procedural transparency. Approximately 640 Takallam matters were raised in 2024. These matters were internally reviewed and, where necessary, appropriate action was taken. Identified gaps or areas for improvement were shared with the respective functions for implementation. It is mandatory for all our employees to complete annual training on the ADNOC Group Code of Conduct, including antibribery and corruption policies and standards and other related Group policies and procedures. Employees also complete an annual compliance declaration confirming their understanding of, and compliance with, the ADNOC Group Code of Conduct and other compliance policies. We regularly hold employee training and awareness sessions on conflicts of interest, gifts and entertainment and the importance of speaking up without fear of retaliation for all employees. Additionally, we provide compliance updates throughout the year for our business lines, provide compliance inductions for new joiners and conduct targeted compliance training on specific topics, including competition law and antitrust and sanctions and international trade controls. To strengthen awareness across the value chain, we extended Code of Ethics training to our contractors, reinforcing our expectations of ethical conduct beyond ADNOC’s direct workforce. In 2024, 99.5% of all employees assigned to complete the online annual Code of Conduct training and declaration did so successfully. ADNOC has a robust process for governing conflicts of interest, which is set out in the Conflict of Interests standard and applies to all our employees. Employees have a duty to disclose a potential, actual or perceived conflict of interest, including any internal or external relationships or interests that could impair objectivity or lead to perceived bias. Once reported, individualized controls to manage any potential risks are applied, as appropriate. As part of the annual compliance declaration, employees confirm the status of any conflicts they may have. ADNOC has a Gifts and Entertainment standard in place to ensure all gifts and entertainment offered or received by employees is modest, legal and appropriate. Employees are required to disclose and seek approval for gifts or entertainment above certain thresholds or involving government officials. 135 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 HOW WE OPERATE KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE ADVANCING NET ZERO EMPOWERING LIVES SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY

Human rights and labor practices We respect internationally recognized human rights standards, including The Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact on human rights, labor, environment and anti- corruption, of which we are a participant. Our commitment to human rights is based on our values, which are set out in our Code of Conduct, reflected in our policies, standards and processes, and applicable to our employees and suppliers35. We are bound by the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. (33) of 2021 regulation, and its amendments, which governs employment relations in the private sector, granting workers the opportunity to take on temporary and flexible work, freelance jobs and condensed working hours. The law also explicitly prohibits forced labor, bans employers from withholding employees’ documents and forbids sexual harassment and any form of physical, verbal and/or psychological abuse of employees. It includes comprehensive legislative protections, as well as enforcement, monitoring and reporting mechanisms. These are implemented so that workers are treated with respect and without discrimination. Measures also empower workers to report disputes and incidents of abuse confidentially. We strive to provide a working environment that is compliant with all applicable laws, protects labor rights, respects diversity, equity and inclusion and recognizes that people are our most valuable asset. We endeavor to promote a culture of respect and awareness throughout our business. We deliver training on our values and raise awareness among employees. We expect every leader across our business to be exemplary in promoting an ethical culture. We seek to partner with and procure from suppliers that adhere to the principles set out in ADNOC’s Supplier and Partner Code of Business Ethics, which captures our commitment to respect fair labor practices. As part of our robust due diligence on customers, suppliers and other third parties we work with, we consider human rights issues and their impact on our working relationship. We proactively run welfare audits with our suppliers to identify and mitigate any labor rights issues. Additionally, our whistleblowing helpline is available to raise integrity-related concerns36. 137 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2024 HOW WE OPERATE KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE ADVANCING NET ZERO EMPOWERING LIVES SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY 35 For additional information refer to the ‘Operating with integrity’ and ‘Responsible sourcing’ sections of this chapter. 36 Refer to the ‘Operating with integrity’ section of this chapter for more information on Takallam.
