ADOC 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Our report is in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards 2016: Core Option.
The report has also been aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
to demonstrate ADOC’s contribution to the global framework.
This report’s key focus is on ADOC’s United Arab Emirates (UAE) based operations, namely our
onshore facilities: Abu Dhabi Office and Mussafah Warehouse; and our offshore facilities: Central
Facilities Platform (CFP), Mubarraz Island and supporting facilities, including the Umm Al Anbar Site
Terminal (ARST), Neewat Al Ghalan (GA) Terminal, Hail Site Terminal (HST), as well as the four offshore
fields: Mubarraz, Umm Al Anbar (AR), Neewat Al Ghalan (GA), and Hail.
PREPARATION OF THE SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
For the 2021 report, ADOC’s key stakeholders, Company employees were primarily consulted, to define this year’s report
content. Engagement of stakeholders was achieved through interviews, and internal materiality assessment questionnaire
responses from the different departments within ADOC. As sustainability covers a broad range of topics; the most important
aspects and issues to ADOC and its stakeholders were defined through the focused Materiality Assessment.
In 2020, due to the significant change in circumstances because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and associated
changing work environment and culture, it was deemed necessary to undertake a robust materiality assessment. The assessment
involved both internal and external stakeholders. Since there were no organizational changes in 2021 and the pandemic situation
continued, the material topics were reviewed internally through a workshop involving the HSE department team members
and a survey conducted involving the different ADOC departments, and the material topics finalized. Sixteen material topics
were identified and ranked based on the feedback from internal stakeholders, presented in the materiality matrix below. It is
important to note that 26 employees, from Offshore Operating Department (OP), Human Resources and Development (HR),
Process and Integrity (PI), Planning and External Relations (PL), Purchasing and Transport (PT), Development (DP), Finance and
Accounting (FA) departments participated in by completing the internal stakeholder questionnaires.

The boundary of the Sustainability Report is determined to be ADOC’s UAE operations, and the individual topic boundaries
were determined based on the location of the operating activities and reach of their potential risks and opportunities.
