1. Unless otherwise stated, all key performance indicators (KPIs) are reported in line with the Reporting boundaries section of the report. Where a KPI follows a different boundary, the specific boundary is provided in the corresponding ESG data index notes. 2. Data has undergone external limited assurance in accordance with international standards (see page 142 ). 3. Includes employees and contractors. 4. Prior-year data have been restated where necessary to reflect refinements identified during the data review process, supporting improved accuracy, consistency and transparency in reporting. 5. As per API classification of safety events: A Tier 1 PSE is a loss of primary containment (LOPC) with the greatest consequence. 6. A Tier 2 PSE is a LOPC with lesser consequence. 7. Total TRI figure in 2023 was restated from 85 to 69 and contractors from 65 to 49, to reflect refinements identified during the data review process, supporting improved accuracy, consistency and transparency in reporting. 8. TRIR figure in 2022 was restated from 1 to 0.15 in employee category and from 3 to 0.21 in the contractor category to reflect refinements identified during the data review process, supporting improved accuracy, consistency and transparency in reporting. 9. Upstream GHG emissions reporting in line with the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), which includes oil and gas production and processing. Our downstream joint ventures Borouge, ADNOC Distribution, ADNOC Logistics and Services and ADNOC Gas report their GHG emissions through their annual sustainability reports. 10. Upstream GHG emissions (excluding gas processing) per thousand barrel oil equivalent of gross oil and gas production. 11. Methane emissions from upstream oil and gas activities operated by ADNOC. Reporting is aligned with the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) framework. 12. Freshwater (TDS: 1,000 mg/L). 13. Other water (TDS: > 1,000 mg/L) 14. Ground water includes slightly brackish, medium brackish, and hypersaline water. 15. Third-party water consists of municipal water supplies from third-party distribution companies. 16. The prior-year freshwater withdrawal % was reported as a proportion of total water withdrawal to third party desalinated water supply. Following a detailed review, the definition of freshwater has been revised. Freshwater is defined as groundwater or surface water with a total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration of 1,000 mg/L or less. Based on the revised definition, there is no freshwater consumption associated with our operations. NOTES: 17. Directed to MAGMA waste management facility for treatment and disposal. 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 ensure environmental protection and compliance with health and safety standards. The MAGMA facility focuses on sustainability by promoting recovery, recycling, and reuse of waste streams whenever feasible. 18. Protected areas are defined by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi 19. In 2025, the metric Percentage of Women in senior leadership positions was retired and replaced with the metric Percentage of Women in middle and senior leadership positions to align with a new target under the UAE Private Sector Gender Equality Acceleration Pledge. The updated scope covers senior leadership roles including Associate General Counsel, General Counsel, Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, Chiefs, Executives and Directors and middle management. 20. Ratio of total number of UAE Nationals to the number of positions targeted for Emiratization. This excludes service companies ADNOC Distribution, ADNOC Drilling and ADNOC Logistics & Services. 21. The increase reflects the expansion of protected areas in Abu Dhabi. The prior-year disclosure has been refined to clarify that the metric represents the percentage of protected areas overlapping with ADNOC concession areas. 22. Any minor discrepancies in the summation of figures are attributable to rounding. 23. Total Carbon monoxide (CO) figure in 2024 was restated from 39.0 to 39.9 following refinements identified during the data review process, supporting improved accuracy, consistency, and transparency in reporting. 24. The Total waste diverted from disposal figure in 2024 was restated from 15,748 to 15,768 following refinements identified during the data review process, supporting improved accuracy, consistency, and transparency in reporting. 25. The Total waste disposed figure in 2024 was restated from 109,660 to 109,640 following refinements identified during the data review process, supporting improved accuracy, consistency, and transparency in reporting. 26. Decimal precision has been adjusted for selected metrics to align with prior year disclosures and support consistent reporting. 27. Includes employees holding the following positions: Associate General Counsel, General Counsel, Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents, Chiefs, Executives, and Directors. 135 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2025
