OUR MATERIAL ISSUES AND PRIORITIES


Stakeholder engagement is essential to achieving
our sustainability goals. It helps us identify and
address key risks and opportunities, enhancing
our business resilience.

The materiality assessment we conducted followed


a three-step process in line with GRI Standards to
pinpoint the most relevant issues for us and our
stakeholders and their potential impact on our
business. The steps were:

1. IDENTIFICATION:
Relevant material issues were gathered
through desk-based research, reviewing
industry standards, peer companies,
and conducting employee interviews.

2. PRIORITIZATION:
Internal and external stakeholders were
surveyed to assess the importance
of the identified issues.

3. REVIEW:
The sustainability team evaluated the
survey results, made necessary adjustments,
and ensured all stakeholder perspectives
were included. The final list was then
approved by management.

TOPICS IN THE APPLICABLE GRI SECTOR STANDARDS DETERMINED AS NOT MATERIAL

TOPIC EXPLANATION

Topic 11.4 Biodiversity Biodiversity impacts relatively minimal in its operations, where activities are primarily confined to industrial sites and do not significantly affect
diverse ecosystems.

Topic 11.7 Closure and rehabilitation Our operations involve continuous production facilities with minimal environmental disruption and no current or planned activities that would
require significant closure or rehabilitation efforts.

Topic 11.12 Forced labor and modern slavery We have rigorous policies and supplier due diligence processes in place to prevent forced labor and modern slavery within our supply chain,
with no identified risks or incidents that would materially impact operations.

Topic 11.13 Freedom of association and collective bargaining Legal constraints within Saudi Arabia restrict the scope of labor union activities and collective bargaining, minimizing significant impacts
on our operations.

Topic 11.16 Land and resource rights Operations primarily involve leased or privately owned land with no disputes or significant conflicts over resource rights. Our activities do not
foresee expansion into areas where land rights issues would be a concern.

Topic 11.17 Rights of indigenous peoples Operations in Saudi Arabia’s oil and gas sector do not impact indigenous communities or their rights. Projects are situated in areas without
indigenous populations.

Topic 11.18 Conflict and security We operate within secure industrial zones and adhere to rigorous security protocols in our oil and gas operations. We implement proactive
measures and mitigate risks related to conflict and security incidents.

Topic 11.19 Anti-competitive behavior We maintain strict adherence to anti-competitive practices and compliance with regulatory frameworks within Saudi Arabia’s oil and gas sector.
There are no identified instances or significant risks of anti-competitive behavior that would necessitate detailed reporting.

discrepancies or significant impacts.

Topic 11.22 Public policy Not material to our company’s engagement with public policy issues within Saudi Arabia’s oil and gas sector that is primarily focused on regulatory
compliance and industry standards.
