In addition, ADNOC monitors developments in the external environment that could influence its long term strategy and sustainability objectives. This process considers trends and signals across key political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal dimensions, providing a comprehensive and forward looking view of the evolving risk landscape. Insights from this process are considered across short-, medium- and long-term time horizons and help us identify potential impacts and integrate them into strategic decision-making. This approach supports timely risk mitigation, enhances organizational resilience and informs strategic responses to a rapidly evolving external environment. We incorporate these insights into ERM processes and use them to inform ongoing dialogue with senior leadership.
