In 2025, Borouge expanded its training offerings to include targeted sustainability related programs. More than 450 employees participated in these programs. Training modules included: • Science of climate change: climate science fundamentals, UN climate bodies, GHG basics and the net zero goal of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) • GHG accounting: GHG categories, standardized approaches and practical emissions calculation exercises • Sustainability and AI: AI applications in sustainability, associated considerations and energy sources supporting AI use • Polymer circularity: principles of circularity in polymer systems and their relevance to Borouge’s value chain • Borouge and a net-zero world: a practical perspective on a net-zero future and Borouge’s role within it Building sustainability capability DELIVERY IN ACTION Preserving critical technical knowledge is as important as developing new skills. Workforce transitions driven by retirements, market dynamics and generational shifts can create knowledge gaps that may affect operational continuity and performance. To address this, ADNOC’s Knowledge Nexus provides a platform for experience-based learning led by internal subject matter experts. Knowledge Nexus is delivered through three focused streams. Geoscience builds depth in subsurface and geotechnical disciplines; Al Ma’aref enables practical knowledge-sharing across technical, operational and enabling topics; and Knowledge Circle supports mentoring and peer exchange through structured dialogue. The program combines in-person and virtual delivery to reach employees across the Group. In 2025, Knowledge Nexus delivered 135 sessions, surpassing its target of 110 and engaging over 5,200 participants. Increased knowledge-sharing reduced our reliance on external providers, generating cost savings of $1.3 million (AED 4.8 million), while supporting the transfer of institutional expertise to the next generation of professionals. Knowledge Nexus: unlocking the value of internal expertise DELIVERY IN ACTION Retirement planning and alumni engagement We support employees in planning for life beyond their careers through a pre retirement program led by ADNOC’s alumni department. The program supports a smooth transition to post employment life by strengthening financial literacy and long term planning, promoting physical, emotional and social wellbeing, and helping retirees maintain a sense of connection to ADNOC’s culture and community. The program includes guidance on end of service benefits and retirement processes, alongside counselling to support emotional readiness and life transitions. Participants also learn about opportunities for continued engagement after retirement through ADNOC’s alumni and knowledge sharing platforms. In 2025, approximately 200 employees participated in the program. The alumni strategy keeps retirees connected to ADNOC’s extended community and enables them to continue contributing their experience through mentoring, advisory and community initiatives.
