Our commitment to human rights is based on our values, which are set out in our Code of Conduct, reflected in our policies, standards and processes, and applicable to all our employees and suppliers. As our business continues to grow and evolve, we expect our business partners and suppliers to advance their human rights and ethical conduct efforts in tandem with ours. We strive to provide a working environment that is compliant with all applicable laws, protects labor rights, respects diversity, equity and inclusion, and recognizes that people are our most valuable asset. We expect and support our suppliers and partners to adopt an approach that aligns with our standards in this area, including those relating to working and living conditions, wages, working hours, any prescribed minimum wage, leave entitlement and the payment of overtime. Human rights and labor practices We seek to partner with and procure from third parties and suppliers that adhere to the principles set out in ADNOC’s Supplier and Partner Code of Business Ethics, which captures our commitment to fair business and labor practices, to zero tolerance for bribery and corruption, and to protecting the health and safety of people and the environment. As part of our robust due diligence on all customers, suppliers and other third parties we work with, we consider human rights issues and their impact on our working relationship. We respect internationally recognized human rights standards, including the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, to which we are a signatory. We proactively run welfare audits with our suppliers to identify and mitigate any labor rights issues. We also make our Takallam helpline available to anyone inside or outside ADNOC to raise integrity related concerns. We endeavor to promote a culture of respect and awareness throughout our business. We deliver training on our values and raise awareness among employees, and we expect every leader across our business to be exemplary in promoting an ethical culture that respects the dignity and equality of all people. 76 77 Energy for Life
