Magazine issued by ADNOC Distribution, 7th issue (July - September) 2015. ADNOC Distribution Opens Al Dar Service Station in Sharjah Emirate OPENING LETTER FROM THE CEO Before we highlight ADNOC Distribution’s prominent achievements in the last quarter, we would like to extend our sincere greetings on the occasion of the Holy Month of Ramadan to the UAE President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, together with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, Their Highnesses the Supreme Council members and Rulers of the Emirates, Their Highnesses the Crown Princes and Deputy Rulers of the Emirates, as well as to the people of the UAE and other Arab and Islamic nations. ADNOC Distribution continues to witness sustained growth across its operations and services as we make rapid headway with our expansion strategy on the UAE level. The acquisitions and asset transfer agreements that were inked and implemented serve as cornerstones of our expansion plans. We have previously highlighted the first phase of expansion that involved the successful acquisition of 75 service stations from Emarat in the Northern Emirates. This was followed by an asset transfer agreement with ENOC for the transfer and operation of 25 service stations in the emirate of Sharjah. As an early outcome, our team at ADNOC Distribution reached a significant milestone with the opening of the Al Dar service station, the first to be operated as part of this agreement. We are working with equal commitment to ensure the complete operation of all 25 service stations by early 2016, driven by our priorities to put the needs of our customers first and reduce the pressure during rush hours on motorists while providing convenient services to the public anywhere in the UAE. Our consistent record of achievements at ADNOC Distribution reflects the hard work and diligence of our people – our colleagues. Likewise, we suitably rewarded members of the team responsible for bringing in the success during the second quarter of 2015 across all sectors of our operations, from Aviation Operations, Services, Marketing and Health, to Safety, Security, Environment and Information Technology. We have been glad to see more and more colleagues being recognised at ADNOC Distribution with each passing year – this says much about the loyalty and ownership that we nurture. ADNOC Distribution is also not just about commercial achievements. Based on our role as a key player in the national economy, we are always keen to articulate and optimise our corporate social responsibility agenda, especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan. As part of this priority, this year we have launched a number of initiatives seeking to support charity works including the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation’s ‘Iftar Project’ initiative. Every year during the Holy Month of Ramadan we invite motorists to stop at our service stations during the Al Maghreb prayers. The company’s service station staff distribute free dates and water as a gesture of goodwill to ensure motorists slow down rather than speed up to get to their destinations for Iftar. Looking ahead, I would like to reiterate that our high morale and efficient team work spirit remains the main driver for ADNOC Distribution’s success. Therefore, we are keen to further enhance these qualities during the next quarter and push the bar in terms of delivering high quality products and services that meet the needs of the UAE economic development.
