The true measure of leadership in energy lies not only in meeting demand, but in the broader value created for people, communities and nations. For ADNOC, this means taking a long-term view of progress, one that recognizes that enduring success is built through investment in human potential, national capability and the prosperity of the societies in which we operate. By developing human capital, advancing local industry through our In-Country Value (ICV) program and delivering meaningful CSR initiatives, ADNOC cultivates a highly skilled and future-ready workforce, strengthens local supply chains, unlocks economic opportunity and supports more vibrant, resilient communities. In doing so, ADNOC aims to leave a lasting positive legacy for generations to come and support the UAE’s long-term economic and social development ambitions. Our CSR strategy reflects our commitment to creating positive and lasting impact in the communities we serve. Our approach is aligned with the UAE’s national priorities and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and is built around four pillars: growth and learning; culture and community; natural heritage and environment; and sports, health and wellbeing. We support community wellbeing, broaden access to opportunity and contribute to more resilient and inclusive societies. Embedded in ADNOC’s long-term strategy, our commitment to empowering lives rests on an integrated approach that connects people development, national value creation and community investment. This approach is supported by clear priorities, partnerships and governance. The ICV and Make it in the Emirates programs are central to our efforts to create long-term national and economic value. By strengthening domestic supply chains, promoting local manufacturing and creating private-sector employment opportunities for UAE Nationals, these initiatives help build a more competitive, resilient and diversified industrial base. Our human capital strategy focuses on attracting, developing and retaining a high-caliber and diverse workforce equipped to lead in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. We are committed to building leadership capability, nurturing future-ready skills and fostering a high-performance culture in which our people can grow, excel and contribute meaningfully to our strategic ambitions. By investing in talent and cultivating an inclusive working environment, we are strengthening the foundations for long-term business resilience and sustainable growth. Our approach SDGs 78
