Introduction from ADNOC’s Chief Sustainability & ESG Officer Strengthening resilience and delivering long-term value Responsible energy leadership is measured not by ambition alone, but by an ability to deliver progress while meeting the evolving energy needs of people, economies and industries everywhere. For ADNOC, this means embedding sustainability into how we plan, invest, operate and make decisions. It is how we manage performance, build resilience and uphold our responsibilities to our employees, our customers, our partners, our communities and the UAE. Our approach is grounded in practical action. We focus on solutions that are technically proven, commercially viable and capable of strengthening both our business and the wider energy system. ADNOC’s 2030 Sustainability Strategy gives this approach a clear framework with measurable targets across decarbonization, nature, people and safety. In 2025, we maintained our upstream greenhouse gas intensity of 7.0 kg CO₂e per barrel of oil equivalent, among the lowest in the world. We reduced Scope 1 emissions by 0.9 million tonnes, bringing cumulative reductions to 5 million tonnes since 2019, and avoided a further 5.1 million tonnes through the import of clean power. Since 2022, emission-reduction initiatives have delivered $242 million (AED 888 million) in realized savings. We also achieved our 2025 methane target, reaching an upstream methane intensity of 0.05 percent. And through Masdar, renewable capacity reached 65 GW. Each of these milestones makes progress toward our Net Zero by 2045 ambition. The same focus on measurable progress guides how we protect nature and manage resources responsibly. Last year, we maintained zero freshwater withdrawal across our operations, diverted more than 17,000 tonnes of waste from landfill and reached the milestone of 5 million mangroves planted, which is halfway toward our 10 million by 2030 goal. But responsible delivery must also create opportunity. In 2025, ADNOC returned $17.7 billion (AED 65 billion) to the UAE economy and signed $2.4 billion (AED 8.8 billion) in awards to support local manufacturing. We helped create 4,500 private-sector jobs for UAE Nationals. Women represented 24.9 percent of new national hires and 26.4 percent of senior leadership. Every ADNOC Group company board now includes women. Our people contributed 76,500 volunteering hours, while our community programs benefited more than 1.6 million people, and our STEM outreach engaged 86,200 students. AI and advanced technologies were key enablers of this progress. We trained 18,000 employees in agentic AI, strengthening our ability to use data to inform faster, smarter decision making. The pages that follow are more than a record of annual performance. They show how our strategy is designed to deliver value for the UAE, build operational resilience and position ADNOC to responsibly meet the energy needs of today. I am grateful to our teams and partners for the progress achieved in 2025, and confident in our ability to keep delivering responsible, at scale and with purpose.
