It is integrated across operations, supporting operational excellence and long-term resilience. Building and operating complex facilities to produce and process hydrocarbons and petrochemicals requires the highest health, safety and environment (HSE) standards. We work with our contractors and partners to help ensure everyone involved in our operations returns home safely each day. This reflects our unwavering commitment to safety and our responsibility to our employees, contractors, business partners and the communities in which we operate. ADNOC’s commitment to ‘100% HSE’ shapes how we work, enabling people to speak up, intervene and learn. We set clear targets to achieve zero life-altering injuries and prevent catastrophic events. We aim to reach these targets through a structured HSE control framework (HSECF), which provides a consistent approach to risk management. The HSECF is anchored in our HSE Policy, which commits us to zero harm and protecting people, assets, the environment and communities. It supports a proactive approach to risk management, asset integrity and process safety, and sets expectations to protect natural resources, manage emissions and effluents, and safeguard biodiversity. The HSECF encompasses HSE manuals and corporate practices (CPs), which translate requirements into practical controls for implementation and verification. Aligned with international regulations and standards and the plan- do-check-act cycle, the HSECF helps Group companies and contractors plan effectively, assess risk, monitor and continuously improve. We periodically consult with employees, contractors, business partners and joint ventures to review and update HSE manuals and CPs. This helps ensure alignment with operational experience and evolving best practice. We apply HSE impact assessments (HSEIA) at each step of the project lifecycle to identify risks and define controls. We manage HSE risks through defined risk domains across the value chain. Discipline lead councils provide technical governance, conduct discipline health checks and lead targeted improvement initiatives. They also develop competency frameworks and promote structured learning from incidents and audits, supported by the technical authority network and communities of practice. Our approach Why it matters SDGs ADNOC’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT) is accountable for HSE strategy and policy. The Chief Health, Safety and Environment Officer (CHSEO) provides Group-level oversight, while Group company HSE teams implement the HSECF and supporting strategies. HSE governance operates through a defined structure of forums and committees with CEO-level representation. HSE governance HSE governance hierarchy CEO HSE Forum • Serves as highest level HSE discussion forum • Comprises CHSEO and Group company CEOs • Discusses HSE strategy, trends and risks • Provides input to executive leadership Group HSE Executive Committee • Comprises CHSEO and Group company HSE Vice Presidents • Aligns and consolidates HSE issues prior to CEO level discussion • Serves as a key escalation and coordination layer Group company HSE committees • Established within each ADNOC Group company • Address company specific HSE performance, risks and issues • Escalate unresolved matters to Group HSE Executive Committee Group company site level HSE committees • Operate at operational and asset levels • Address site specific HSE risks, incidents and operational concerns • Escalate issues through corporate and Group company HSE committees as required Discipline lead councils • Provide technical oversight across defined HSE risk domains under the Executive Discipline Lead Council, chaired by CHSEO • Ensure HSECF remains risk informed and fit for purpose • Support continuous improvement through health checks, updates and competency development Occupational health ADNOC protects the wellbeing of the workforce through proactive identification and management of workplace health risks. Informed by audits and risk assessments, we implement targeted awareness campaigns, such as the “Beat the Heat”, “Noise Exposure”, “Food Safety” and “Respiratory Protection” awareness campaigns, to reduce exposure to health hazards. Heat stress is an occupational health risk across ADNOC’s operations and requires a consistent approach. The annual “Beat the Heat” campaign promotes hydration, rest breaks and the provision of shaded work areas. A unified flag system ensures consistent application of protective measures across all sites. In 2025, we strengthened controls by introducing computer-based training covering heat hazards and response measures and piloting wearable sensors to detect early signs of heat strain.
