Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO at ENOC, said, "As an organisation, we are committed to continuously improving our sustainability performance, which means we recognise positive change and adapt to it. As a testament to this belief, in 2016, we proposed the incorporation of the sustainability performance index in the groups performance score card.
"While this is our inaugural report, sustainability performance has been a key consideration in our approach to business for several years. We are moving beyond being an energy provider to delivering sustainable value to our shareholders, our partners and employees."In line with ENOCs vision of achieving industry leading performance which mirrors the SDG on economic growth, in 2016 the group invested US$654 million across its businesses to support the local economy as its sales volume reached a new high of 247 million barrels.
Over the past three years the emission intensity from the groups operations declined by 15 percent and reduced waste generation by 1,500 tons from 2015. With regards to employees, the groups manpower increased by 20 percent over the last three years with Emiratisation reaching 34 percent.
In line with the UAE leadership's clear commitment to diversifying its energy sources, ENOC is investing in alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas and Biodiesel5 a diesel blended with biofuel - to provide cleaner fuels for its customers.
"We are working tirelessly to ensure that our operations follow sustainable consumption and production patterns as our efforts in the field of sustainability progress from compliance to a performance-based culture that drives performance from a triple bottom line perspective," added Al Falasi.
