ADNOC maintains a CSR governance framework designed to support transparent decision-making, measurable investment and alignment with our standards of integrity and impact. A dedicated CSR Division leads the CSR strategy, supported by a cross-functional CSR and sponsorship committee comprising senior and executive leadership across ADNOC. The committee provides strategic direction and oversight of program implementation. We engage with external stakeholders, including government entities, NGOs and educational institutions, to help identify initiatives that address priority social needs within the communities where we operate. Engagement is informed by ongoing dialogue and needs assessments. Through partnerships with Majra, the UAE’s national CSR fund and the Authority of Social Contribution Ma’an, ADNOC channels its CSR investments toward initiatives that deliver measurable, long - term societal value at both the federal and Abu Dhabi levels. This approach ensures alignment with national and emirate - level social development priorities, with a focus on social inclusion, entrepreneurship, environmental protection and capacity building, while also enabling transparent tracking and measurement of outcomes against nationally defined priorities. ADNOC is an active member of the Abu Dhabi CSR Committee, working alongside peer organizations to help shape the emirate’s CSR agenda. By participating in the committee, we support knowledge exchange, share leading practices and align on priorities linked to Abu Dhabi’s broader social and economic development objectives. We deliver our CSR programs through a range of mechanisms, including in kind support, sponsorships, funding programs that target community engagement, and employee volunteering.
