Abu Dhabi-Based Mubadala Energy Cuts Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2025

Mubadala Energy, the Abu Dhabi-headquartered international energy company, has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting progress across environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, including significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and stronger social and governance outcomes.

The company reported a 30.9 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions across its operated assets in 2025.

Average emissions intensity fell by 12.4 per cent, while flared gas intensity across the operated portfolio declined by 33.9 per cent.

Adnan Bu Fateem, Acting CEO of Mubadala Energy, said: “The global energy landscape is entering a defining chapter, as rising demand intersects with geopolitical uncertainty, affordability, energy security and sustainability.

Bu Fateem added: “Under the theme ‘Energising the Next Chapter’, our 2025 Sustainability Report reflects how we are aligning responsible growth with continued ESG progress. In 2025, we reduced emissions intensity, maintained zero spills and zero fatalities since inception, strengthened ESG governance, and continued investing in our people and young talent.”

He concluded: “We also invested more than AED2.3 million (US$626,276) in community programmes, building on a positive impact that has reached more than one million people in the last decade. As we enter our next chapter of growth, our focus remains on growing safely and responsibly, while creating long-term value for our shareholder, partners, host governments and communities.”

Mubadala Energy attributed the environmental improvements to enhanced operational performance, continued decarbonisation initiatives and the divestment of the Ruby asset in Indonesia in August 2025.

Social performance also remained a key focus. The company maintained its record of zero fatalities since inception and delivered an average of 8.95 training days per employee.

Its workforce represented 38 nationalities, while women accounted for 32 per cent of employees, up from 28 per cent in 2024.

Female representation in middle management increased from 18 per cent to 28 per cent during the year, marking further progress in workplace diversity.

The company also strengthened its ESG governance framework and continued evaluating alignment with IFRS S1 and S2 standards.

Mubadala Energy reported no data breaches for the seventh consecutive year, supporting its focus on transparency, accountability and responsible decision-making.
