As ADNOC continues to transform into a more competitive, commercially minded, performance-led organization, it is our people who embody the true spirit of ADNOC – helping us to compete, thrive and lead in this new energy era.”
In its first year, the ADNOC Excellence Awards attracted entries from across the 14 Group Companies, split across five categories – Collaborative, Respectful, Responsible, Progressive, and Efficient – all of which underwent a rigorous evaluation process to ensure that the final winners best-exemplified ADNOC’s commitment to performance excellence.

And every day, maintain an unwavering commitment to 100% HSE. By doing so, ADNOC will continue to rank among the leading oil and gas companies in the world.”
