ADNOC advances wellbeing through initiatives that strengthen community and celebrate cultural connections. The Bahja wellbeing festival is a flagship initiative, bringing together employees, families and contractors for a celebration of wellbeing, engagement and community spirit. To date, ADNOC has hosted eight festivals, engaging more than 5,000 participants and creating a supportive environment grounded in belonging and shared identity. The initiative plays a strategic role in elevating morale, enhancing collaboration and deepening engagement, while reinforcing ADNOC’s cultural values across the workforce. The Bahja wellbeing festival integrates AI-powered tools, including health check-up stations, personalized wellbeing recommendations and interactive digital workshops. Bahja wellbeing festival: a celebration of wellbeing and belonging DELIVERY IN ACTION Employee engagement ADNOC supports employee engagement through communication, feedback mechanisms and regular measurement of outcomes. We conduct an annual employee engagement survey with third-party support, offering a confidential platform for employees to share feedback. The survey is available in multiple languages (Arabic, English, Malayalam and Mandarin) and results inform action plans that are monitored by appointed champions across ADNOC Group companies. Annual pulse surveys are used to assess progress and the effectiveness of follow-up actions. The survey includes questions on culture and wellbeing, including whether employees feel safe in speaking up about workplace safety, unethical behavior and the overall working environment. In 2025, ADNOC recorded an engagement score of 77%, exceeding both the Middle East Oil & Gas benchmark and the Global General Industry benchmark, and an employee experience score of 85%. Strong results were also recorded across key dimensions, including a purpose and mandate score of 91%, reflecting employees’ understanding of the organization’s goals and priorities, and a values and leadership score of 88%, reflecting perceptions of leadership behavior and alignment with organizational values. Employees can also provide anonymous feedback through our Takallam platform, enabling them to raise and address concerns without fear of retaliation. Employee wellbeing Employee wellbeing is a strategic priority. Beyond traditional workplace support, we create an environment where employees feel valued, supported and able to thrive. Through targeted initiatives across the Group, we promote physical, mental and social wellbeing. Our Energy for Wellbeing program fosters a vibrant and engaged workplace. Taking a holistic approach, the program strengthens social cohesion and promotes a supportive environment for employees, their families and the wider community. It aims to empower employees to achieve their personal and professional goals, build resilience and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Our dedicated Energy for Wellbeing microsite and wellbeing toolkit support leaders in promoting employee wellbeing. In 2025, we delivered over 2,000 programs and engaged more than 175,000 participants, including employees, their families and service providers. ADNOC’s employee assistance program (EAP), provides employees with 24/7 access to confidential support services in multiple languages. The program supports individuals across life stages and covers a broad range of services, including psychological counselling, financial and legal advising, wellbeing coaching, and family support. In 2025, we expanded the program to include contractors and alumni, as well as family members. Our benefits framework also includes comprehensive health insurance. Digital wellbeing services delivered through providers such as Daman and TrueDoc, offer 24/7 access to multilingual medical and wellbeing support, contributing to a supportive and inclusive working environment. Mental health ADNOC supports employee mental health by delivering comprehensive programs across its sites, with a focus on emotional intelligence, stress management and resilience. Through the Working Well initiative, ADNOC provides support including mental health first aid, anxiety management, psychosocial assessments and fatigue prevention for shift employees. In 2025, we delivered an integrated wellbeing initiative combining a psychologist-led mental health session with a two-day wellness program that offered health screenings, expert consultations, and practical wellbeing tools. We also offered dedicated mental health workshops for leaders to help them understand employee mental health needs, recognize early indicators of concern, and respond appropriately through existing support mechanisms. Compensation, benefits and rewards Based on the principles of fairness, equity and competitiveness, ADNOC’s total rewards framework supports a pay for performance philosophy. It features both fixed and variable pay components, with variable pay linked to the achievement of performance objectives, including sustainability, operational efficiency and workforce development. Remuneration decisions are based on objective performance-related factors and aligned with ADNOC’s values and governing standards. We maintain a competitive compensation structure that supports talent retention and fosters long-term organizational success. The Group Rewards & Human Capital Policies Division is responsible for designing and governing the compensation programs that align with regional and global best practices and with ADNOC’s strategic objectives. The division manages the implementation of these programs across ADNOC Group companies to maintain fairness, transparency and consistency. Succession Planning ADNOC’s succession planning framework supports continuity in critical roles by building internal capability and strengthening leadership pipelines. The framework identifies potential successors for key positions and supports them through leadership assessments and targeted development plans. To help preserve critical expertise and maintain leadership continuity, the framework is integrated with knowledge-retention arrangements. In 2025, we strengthened the framework by incorporating a more structured, data-driven approach to identifying leadership and critical positions, assessing successor readiness, and supporting targeted development. Parent-friendly workplace program ADNOC supports working parents through a workplace program that offers flexible work arrangements, tailored parental leave and structured return-to-work assistance. Dedicated resources, including a microsite and digital support group, provide guidance and peer engagement. Facilities include nursing rooms for new mothers and an onsite nursery, and childcare vouchers support broader childcare needs. Employees also have access to counseling and psychological services via health apps. ADNOC collaborates with the Department of Community Development, the Supreme Council for Motherhood & Childhood and various health institutions to deliver educational sessions aimed at promoting a parent-friendly workplace culture. Our programs have had a positive impact on 26,000 parents and 70,000 children. In 2025, ADNOC was the official Energy Partner of Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Week, supporting the UAE’s broader focus on family development and early childhood education. ADNOC also earned a Parent - Friendly Label from the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority, reflecting our ongoing commitment to supporting employees and families. ADNOC provides a supportive work environment with family- friendly policies designed to support employees' family and personal needs. Our benefits package for full-time employees includes life insurance, healthcare, parental leave, retirement and pension plans, and an end-of-service policy. Women receive maternity leave and can take extended custody leave for childcare, with flexible working arrangements available for up to 18 months. Male employees are entitled to paternity leave, ensuring that both parents can be actively involved in early childcare. 87 ADNOC Sustainability Report 2025 86 EMPOWERING LIVES KEEPING OUR PEOPLE SAFE ADVANCING NET ZERO HOW WE OPERATE SUSTAINABILITY AT ADNOC ABOUT ADNOC PROTECTING NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY
