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.

            Issues related to environmental, social and financial elements were assessed by the internal stakeholders during the workshop,
            and a final list of material topics to be reported this year developed.
            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.
