In supporting the UN SDGs, we prioritize those that are most relevant to our activities, our strategic focus and our ability to make a positive impact. Our commitment to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Good Health & Wellbeing We protect our people’s safety and wellbeing through rigorous HSE standards, comprehensive risk management and a strong safety culture. We actively support health and wellbeing by encouraging our employees and the communities in which we operate to adopt healthy, active lifestyles. For example, we are the main sponsor of the Abu Dhabi Marathon and are actively working with the Abu Dhabi Sports Council to encourage participation. Quality Education Since 1974, we have invested in education as part of our dedication to building a sustainable, knowledge-based economy. Through strategic partnerships, we continue to support a wide range of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs, inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, data scientists and technology experts to drive future innovation and progress. Gender Equality We promote gender equality by embedding inclusive leadership development and advancing women’s representation in leadership and on boards through targeted programs and partnerships, while fostering a workplace culture grounded in equity and opportunity. Affordable and Clean Energy We are making strides to produce lower-carbon energy today while investing in the energy solutions of the future. By decarbonizing our oil and gas operations, expanding our low-carbon ammonia portfolio and investing in renewables through our shareholding in Masdar, we are helping transform energy systems. Decent Work and Economic Growth We are dedicated to fostering economic diversification, socioeconomic development and job creation. Through the In-Country Value (ICV) program, we aim to enable local businesses to benefit from planned large-scale projects while promoting the employment of UAE talent in the private sector, contributing to long-term national growth. Climate Action We rank among the world’s lowest carbon-intensity oil and gas producers, regularly investing in lowering the carbon footprint of the energy we produce. Our decarbonization efforts include expanding renewable energy investments, deploying cutting-edge climate technologies and advancing nature-based solutions; for example, we aim to plant 10 million mangroves by 2030. Life below Water We actively protect the UAE’s marine ecosystem. For example, we have installed artificial fish habitats to repopulate the area and developed a rescue and rehabilitation program for endangered sea turtles in the area surrounding the Hail and Ghasha development located in the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve, a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated marine biosphere reserve. Life on Land Our commitment to protecting the natural environment is anchored in our operating framework and practices. We protect, preserve and restore biodiversity, especially in sensitive onshore and offshore areas. To support this commitment, we have established protected exclusion zones for the Arabian oryx and other endangered species. Partnerships for the Goals We believe that collaboration and partnerships are essential to achieve our business and sustainability goals. In addition to participating in the UN Global Compact, we belong to industry collaborations such as the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), Ipieca, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 and the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC). We seek to engage regularly with a diverse group of stakeholders, including government entities, industry partners, customers and communities, to better understand their expectations and inform our approach. Insights from these engagements help to shape our priorities and guide our strategy. Our approach to stakeholder engagement is tailored to the specific needs and interests of each stakeholder group, driving regular and constructive dialogue across our operations.
