We are committed to managing and minimizing risks associated with water, waste and biodiversity and regularly monitoring and improving our environmental performance.
We have effectively implemented Environmental Management System, complying with ISO 14001:2015 standard, and continuously improving our operations by reducing waste and emissions, while improving the efficient use of natural resources.
ADNOC Drilling’s Environmental Management System (EMS) is accredited with the ISO 14001:2015 and reflects our dedication to sustainable environmental management. This structured framework supports real-time environmental performance monitoring while aligning with our ESG principles.
The EMS enables transparent tracking, integrating environmental considerations into business decisions and fostering a culture of accountability, safety, teamwork, excellence, and innovation. It plays a key role in driving continuous improvement, enhancing resource efficiency, and reinforcing our commitment to sustainable development.
ADNOC Drilling’s waste management strategy is anchored in a comprehensive understanding of environmental regulations, restrictions, and requirements. By staying abreast of these guidelines, we are able to manage our waste flows more effectively and with greater regulatory compliance and align with a concept of circular economy.
Our waste management practices influence multiple dimensions such as proper segregation, treatment, and disposal to reduce pollution and GHG emissions, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable environment. By monetizing waste and reducing disposal costs through reuse and recycling, we create opportunities for resource efficiency. Our waste management system safeguards employees and communities by preventing exposure to hazardous materials, promoting workplace safety, and ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.
In line with our regulatory requirements, our approach to water use is rooted in a strong commitment to conservation and sustainability. We have established guiding principles to ensure the responsible management of water resources. During production activities, we implement comprehensive conservation measures to prevent water wastage. Our efforts are focused on reducing water consumption while maximizing opportunities for water reuse and recycling, ultimately enhancing our water efficiency.
Our water management practices have wide-ranging impacts such as resulting in lower operational costs and enhancing resource security. Responsible water sourcing, consumption, and safe discharge practices safeguard marine ecosystems, aquifers, and the broader natural environment. By ensuring sustainable water practices, we contribute to regional water security while safeguarding human rights by preventing pollution and maintaining ecological balance.
ADNOC Drilling is a committed environmental steward of our natural environment across our areas of operation. We are guided by stringent environmental policies and best practices that prioritize the preservation of the marine and terrestrial ecosystems that are impacted by our operating footprint.
We are committed to protecting habitats, conserving endangered species, and preserving the UAE’s precious environments.
