Responsible sourcing program ADNOC’s responsible sourcing program (RSP) aims to build a resilient, transparent and ESG-aligned ecosystem that supports national development and global sustainability standards in collaboration with suppliers. The program supports suppliers in strengthening environmental, human rights and labor practices, while continuing to meet core procurement requirements such as efficiency, quality, HSE standards and reliability. We launched the first phase of implementation in 2024, with a focus on establishing foundational elements, setting clear expectations for suppliers and initiating supplier engagement. A multi-year journey, the program will evolve through deeper supplier integration, capability building and progressive enhancement of ESG performance. The RSP centers on four main pillars: Collaborate with suppliers ADNOC builds strategic partnerships with suppliers to jointly drive ESG improvements. These efforts include one-on-one engagements, roundtables with UAE government entities and forums such as ADNOC Supplier Open Days. Embed ESG in procurement ADNOC advances responsible procurement through clear policies, governance and standards. The Supplier and Partner Code of Ethics sets clear expectations for suppliers to comply with applicable laws, conduct business with integrity, respect human rights and fair labor practices, and protect health, safety and the environment, while helping support supplier adoption and compliance with the principles of the Code. In 2025, ADNOC held more than 100 one-to-one sustainability engagement sessions with strategic suppliers to review ESG practices, assess maturity levels and identify areas for improvement. In addition, we hosted multiple ADNOC Supplier Open Days to share updates, clarify expectations and address supplier questions. ADNOC also convened partners through dedicated forums, including a roundtable that brought together the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology and local manufacturers to discuss sustainable manufacturing practices. In parallel, we continue to encourage suppliers to include sustainability-related ideas in their proposals and explore opportunities to collaborate with more mature suppliers. We embed ESG considerations across key stages of the procurement process, including tender documentation, contracts and supplier onboarding, in alignment with ADNOC’s HSE standards, welfare provisions and ethical business practices. Once contracts are awarded, supplier compliance is managed through ADNOC’s Contract Administration Guidelines, which define monitoring requirements and procedures for addressing non-conformance. The Supplier Performance Management Standard Operating Procedures further support this process by providing a structured approach to assessing supplier performance, escalating issues and tracking corrective actions. Leverage technology to better manage ESG risks and opportunities ADNOC uses advanced technologies to capture ESG KPIs, establish supplier risk profiles and monitor mitigation and corrective actions. In 2025, ADNOC implemented a digital supply chain ESG risk and performance management system in partnership with a technology provider. The system captures ESG-related data, assesses supplier risk profiles and monitors mitigation and corrective actions. As part of the rollout, we developed ESG performance scorecards for 122 strategic suppliers. The system also generated ESG predictive risk profiles for more than 2,000 registered active suppliers, based on available data sources including supplier self-assessments, audits and incident records. For strategic suppliers, we conducted deeper assessments through questionnaires covering areas such as emissions, energy use, labor practices, community initiatives and governance. The system provides dashboards and alerts to track changes in supplier risk profiles and support follow-up actions where required. Promote leading sustainability practices across the value chain ADNOC aims to foster a culture of sustainability through training and recognition programs that enhance ESG awareness and encourage innovation across the value chain and strengthen sustainability knowledge and capabilities among procurement professionals. In 2025, we delivered eight sessions on key sustainability principles and practices, and more than 90% of procurement employees completed foundational ESG and sustainability training. 123 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2025 HOW WE OPERATE KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE ADVANCING NET ZERO EMPOWERING LIVES SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY
