ADOC 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

These species are categorized as significant species as per the IUCN and local IUCN due to the threats to their populations and
habitats.
To safeguard our fragile environment, we manage operations through stringent environmental impact assessments and
management programs, in compliance with the ADNOC HSE Standards (2020) and international best practices. We also
commissioned an independent HSE Consultant to undertake a Health, Safety and Environmental Impact Assessment (HSEIA)
for all existing facilities, which included detailed Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA). The objective of an operational HSEIA
is to demonstrate that all residual HSE risks during normal operations are acceptable and provide additional mitigation and
monitoring measures where shortfalls are identified. The main potential risks identified from our facilities include impacts to air
quality from electricity generation, waste incineration and gas flaring, ballast water discharges, ambient noise generation, brine
discharge from desalination and oil spills to the marine environment.

The facilities were assessed individually through separate comprehensive HSEIA/EIAs for Mubarraz Island, AR, GA and SPM, CFP
and HST. Recommendations for additional measures captured in the EIA process from each assessment report are presented in an
Action Tracking Register to ensure sufficient close-out of all committed actions to reduce the severity and likelihood of all key risks.

ENERGY

We ensure our commitment to support Energy Management System (EnMS) by defining and establishing an Energy Policy and
providing the resources essential to establish, implement, maintain, and improve the EnMS. Our Energy Policy is the result of
continuous efforts of ADOC Management to promote energy management and conform to the policy requirements of the ISO
50001:2018 standards. In February 2021, the Energy team meeting was conducted to explain the achievements of 2020 and to
share the Energy Objectives and Targets for 2021. The policy has been communicated to all employees of ADOC through emails,
notice boards, and the ADOC portal.
We meet our energy demands through direct and indirect energy consumption. Direct energy requirements are generated
internally, while our indirect energy needs are met by Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA). Direct energy is
required for our offshore production and operational activities, and the main power generation units are located in Mubarraz
Island. The electricity produced is supplied to Mubarraz Island, ARST and CFP and Hail. All direct energy generated by ADOC
is consumed; no surplus power is sold. Indirect energy provided by ADWEA is typically required to power our onshore
headquarters, and warehouses located at Abu Dhabi and Musaffah. Although ADOC have installed solar panels at their onshore
office facilities, no renewable energy was generated this year due to ongoing maintenance activities.

A 2.0% decrease in direct energy consumption was recorded in 2021 compared to 2020 and a 1.1% decrease in indirect energy
consumption was recorded compared to 2020. Overall, although the EnMS transition was implemented, and a marginal decrease
in energy consumption values as compared to 2020 was observed, it is too early to identify if any energy savings had been
accomplished. This will be closely monitored in 2022 to determine the impact of the transition.
