Address
both our local communities and vulnerable groups in the areas in which we operate. Initiatives of which we are particularly proud are the "We Can - We Care" programme, which saw executives of our company supporting and participating with our local citizens with disabilities in basketball games, and our Crowdfunding for a Special School in Kavala, for which we were presented with an award at the "Bravo" Sustainability Dialogues & Awards 2019. We continuously invest in, and engage with, our local communities, establishing mutually beneficial relationships that enhance our contribution to society.
Operational Progress and Other Key Events
2019 marked another transformational year for Energean. In Israel, our flagship Karish development project continued to progress well. Physical completion was at 72% by year-end and the project on track to deliver first gas into the Israeli domestic market in 1H 2021. We completed the drilling of the three Karish Main development wells that will deliver the first gas sales and, post period end, demonstrated the ability of these three wells to produce at rates sufficient to fill our 8 Bcm/yr FPSO.

Dear Shareholders,
We are delighted to share Energean's second annual Sustainable Development Report, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to sustainable development and our ESG principles. We are committed to delivering results, not just promises, and, during 2019, our dedicated teams have continued to deliver strong and tangible progress towards our social, environmental and governance targets in what is an evolving and challenging energy landscape. We are extremely proud to be part of an organisation that has fulfilled upon a wide range of ESG goals. Achievements that we are most proud of include our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero, receiving an "A" rating from MSCI, and appointing the company's first female Chairman to the Board of Directors.
Overview
Energean continued its strong growth trajectory in 2019, developing from a newly listed independent E&P company in 2018 into a leading FTSE 250 player. We remain focused on our core geographical area, the Mediterranean, and gas as a transition fuel. Following close of the Edison E&P transaction, we expect to have close to 800 mmboe of 2P reserves and 2C resources, of which 80% is gas, and a clear path to more than 130 kboe/d of production in 2022, again of which 80% is gas. Our gas-focused strategy allows us to play our part in supporting the global fuel transition away from coal and oil, in the drive to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and protect our environment for future generations.
ESG Stewardship
Stewardship of ESG is central to Energean's vision of creating the E&P company of the future; one that excels is all aspects of ESG. Our ESG goals are always at the forefront of our growth and operations and, to this end, we have formally linked Executive pay to ESG goals from 2020. Furthering our commitment to ESG, we are creating a new Sustainability and Climate Change Department that will focus on optimising our goals and performance in this key area that is changing quickly and ever growing in its importance to all of our stakeholders.
> Environmental
We are reducing our environmental footprint by setting science- based carbon intensity reduction targets. Not only were we the first E&P company in the world to commit to net zero by 2050, but we will also be setting near-term targets on a rolling three- year basis. We are targeting an initial 70% reduction over 2019 - 2022. Energean views continuous improvement based on near term goals to be essential to delivering upon the net zero target as quickly as possible and we envisage being able to accelerate the 2050 target in the coming years. Energean also continues to participate proudly to the United Nations Global Compact and is committed to continuously supporting the initiative and its principles. Finally, Energean, will conclude its first CDP submission to the Climate Change questionnaire by 2020.
> Social
Managing our social impacts is a core element of our ESG priorities and supporting local communities is one of the main pillars of our Corporate Social Responsibility policy. We support
Health and Safety management
During 2019, Energean continued to deliver upon its exemplary HSE record with one million hours free of Lost Time Incidents in Energean sites plus four million man-hours on the FPSO construction yard in China. We at Energean believe that protecting the environment and the health and safety of our staff and stakeholders is a key factor in the overall success of our business and we are committed to continually improving in all aspects of HSE.
In line with this commitment, we have established a comprehensive and integrated Health and Safety Management System that is aligned with the requirements of international standards and European safety directives. It is based on tried- and-tested, internationally recognized best practices in the E&P industry, structured around a classic "Plan-Do-Assess- Adjust" cycle.
> Governance
At Energean, we seek to fulfil our vision by adhering to a set of values that encompasses:
- Responsibility in all of our actions and areas where we conduct our business
- Excellence in everything we do, deploying best practices to achieve profitable and sustainable growth
- Integrity, respecting our stakeholders, employees and business, promoting transparency and accountability, in all cultivating a unique corporate sustainability culture
- Commitment to a talented workforce, investing in our people's development
The work of the Board and Management Team will continue, over the coming years, to ensure that Energean is well positioned to advance the energy transition, embrace technological innovation and meet society's changing expectations of energy companies. Our people are core to delivering upon this aim, and to ensuring that we maintain and advance our Corporate Governance standards. As a Board, we believe it is extremely important that we continue to develop our organisational capabilities, continue to develop a diverse and inclusive culture and enhance governance and compliance with the ongoing embedding of our values and code of conduct.
made a >1.2 Tcf (>25 Bcm) discovery at Karish North, further demonstrating the attractiveness of our acreage, and increased firm Gas Sales and Purchase Agreements to 5.0 Bcm/yr, which is expected to increase to 5.6 Bcm/yr on receipt of the Karish North CPR.
In July 2019, we agreed to acquire Edison E&P for $750 million, plus $100 million of contingent consideration, a landmark achievement in advancing Energean as the leading gas-focused E&P player in the Mediterranean. We raised $865m of funding for the acquisition, demonstrating that capital remains available for the right E&P companies, with the right assets and the right ESG credentials. Once the acquisition is complete, we will have acquired a high-quality portfolio of assets and a strong operating team that will support the day-to-day operations of the enlarged group going forwards.
More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic and OPEC+ price war have put us into uncertain times, but we are well-placed to weather the challenges and, through this period, our number one priority remains the health and safety of our colleagues and stakeholders. As such, we have taken swift and decisive actions to protect our people, whilst maintaining focus on our longer-term business objectives; once the Edison E&P transaction is completed, around 70% of our production will be sold under long-term gas sales agreements that insulate our future revenues against oil price volatility. Following completion of the Edison E&P transaction, we will continue to own and operate the majority of our asset base, and are well-funded for all of our projects. This will ensure that we can respond quickly and appropriately to the macro environment and take the right decisions to protect our business and our stakeholders.
In conclusion, and in recognition of the support and contribution of our employees to the success of the company, we would like to express our deep gratitude to all of you for your hard work and commitment to implementing our values in all aspects of your work. We look forward, alongside all of you, to further developing Energean into the E&P company of the future, focusing on sustainable development and creating shared value for all of our stakeholders.

Inclusive of Edison E&P (excludes Algeria and the North Sea assets), the Company produced around 60 kboe/d and had approximately 841 MMboe of 2P reserves and 2C resources in 2019.
The Company's flagship development assets are the multi-Tcf Karish and Tanin fields, offshore Israel. The Karish and Tanin leases are operated by Energean's subsidiary, Energean Israel, which has a 100% working interest. Energean Israel is owned by Energean (70%) and Kerogen Capital (30%). Energean Israel also holds a 100% working interest in nine highly prospective exploration licences offshore Israel.
According to the Netherland Sewell & Associates, Inc.'s (NSAI) Competent Persons Report (CPR) as of 30 June 2019, the Karish and Tanin fields contain 2P reserves of approximately 1.46 Tcf of gas and 29 MMbbls of light oil net to Energean (approximately 287 MMboe). In addition, the fields contain an estimated 26 MMboe of net 2C resources. The Company also announced a gas discovery in the Karish North structure in April 2019. The Karish North CPR confirmed 2C resources of 175 MMboe (84% gas) net to Energean, representing a 32% uplift on previous estimates.
Subject to finalisation of the NSAI CPR report, as per DeGolyer and MacNaughton CPR, Karish North contains 175 mmboe net to Energean 2C resources (84% gas).
Energean is on track to start producing from the Karish field in 1H 2021. Including Karish and the (to be) acquired Edison E&P portfolio, Energean's daily production will reach approximately 130,000 boepd by 2022 (approximately 80% gas).
In Greece, Energean had 54 mmboe 2P reserves and 59 mmboe 2C resources as of end-2019.
In addition, the Company has significant exploration potential in its licences held in Israel, the Adriatic, and Western Greece, which will provide the basis for future organic growth.

Our
Supply Chain
Energean collaborates directly with approximately 3,000 suppliers and contractors globally, plus thousands more in our wider supply chains, sourcing specialist oil & gas equipment, material and services, including vendors, service providers and contingent labour. We aim to promote a sustainable supply chain that meets Energean stakeholder expectations, responsible sourcing is a priority for our business and we strongly believe that our suppliers and contractors play a key role in the success of our business. In addition to efficiency and operational excellence, Energean focuses on creating prosperity and encouraging our suppliers to meet the highest standards of safety, social and environmental performance. Our supply chain is one of our most powerful tools for creating prosperity in the local communities and we aim to source non-specialist goods and services from local businesses and communities, in the countries we operate in. Energean operates to the highest standards of corporate governance and our suppliers and contractos are expected to act and operate in accordance with Energean HSE, ethical and corporate social responsibility standards.
In 2019, Energean developed a more systematic, risk based approach, to managing certain supply chain risks, by implementing a due diligence process that helps us identify risks across our supply chain. Specifically, a third party risk management process has been implemented, which aims to enable counterparty evaluation, with respect to:
- Integrity aspectsby examining the identity of the beneficial owner, employment and close family relationships with government officials and politically exposed persons as well as any legal enforcement proceedings.
- Financial aspectsby examining financial position and creditworthiness.
- Anti-corruptionand bribery complianceby performing an anti-corruption due diligence on counterparties at risk in order to assess their integrity, professional reliability and reputation.
- HSE credentials, standards and records.
Furthermore, our standard procurement contracts include key contractual provisions that seek to ensure that our suppliers and contractors comply with the international laws on human rights, anti-slavery and compliance and preserve our auditing rights to these respects.
Whenever a risk assessment process is involved in order for this risk management model to be applied, Energean uses as risk indicators the geographic location, the scope of work, the compensation structure, or the value of the contract, to evaluate whether the third party and the business relationship under review present a high, medium, or low risk, which will trigger the level

Materiality
Analysis
As per the GRI Standards, the topics to be included in the sustainability report are those that can reasonably be considered important for reflecting the organization's economic, environmental, and social impacts, or influencing the decisions of stakeholders.
In order to define these topics, we conducted a materiality analysis, with the involvement of both the upper management and the stakeholders of the company. The approach was based on the GRI Standards and is described below.

Phase A
Identification of relevant topics
The first step of the process was to prepare a list of identified relevant topics for the company, relevant to our industry and business model and also of concern to our stakeholders. The following actions were performed to this end:
- An online media review for the reporting year on topics related to the company's activities and the expectations of the company's stakeholders,inordertoidentifysignificantchanges,developments, issues that occurred during the reporting year.
-
A review of the sustainable development topics that are sector specific, as well as international standards such as GRI, SASB,
TCFD, UN SDGs, with the aim to identify topics that are material to our industry as well as to sustainable development in general. - A review of the publicly available sustainability reports of peer companies, to identify topics that are commonly reported.
Phase B
Prioritization of topics
The next step was to prioritize the identified relevant sustainability topics. The prioritization was performed against the significance of the environmental, social and economic impacts and according to the significance of these topics to our stakeholders.
For the prioritization against the significance of the environmental, social and economic impacts, Energean prioritized the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) to which its business model has the greatest impact. Following this prioritization, the topics linked to the UN SDGs that were prioritized were deemed as those having the most significant impacts. For the prioritization of the topics according to their significance to our stakeholders an e-survey was launched.
The new topics that were identified are "Growing the share of natural gas in the product portfolio", "Reducing (non-renewable) energy consumption" and "Safeguarding human rights at work (e.g. equal opportunities, diversity, eliminating forced labor etc.)

Material topics and
their boundaries
The table below presents the material topics prioritized against both the significance of their economic, social and environmental impacts and the significance for stakeholders' assessments and decisions in ascending order. According to the GRI standards, it is not recommended to conclude on a combined assessment for both axes but rather define the material topics as the most significant either for the stakeholders or in terms of significance of impacts. This is the reason why the topic "Ensuring regulatory compliance" is included in the material topics as being the third most important topic for the stakeholders even though in the combined assessment its overall score is lower.
GRI 103-1
Why are these topics material?
Generating economic value / economic performance of the company
We are a full-cycle E&P business focused on delivering on our economic commitments to our stakeholder groups. Our economic contribution not only focuses on our direct stakeholders such as our employees, contractors, and suppliers and partners, but extends to the communities in which we operate through our direct and indirect tax payments to governments and local social investments.

Safeguarding Occupational Health & Safety and Wellbeing
It is Energean's utmost responsibility to provide a safe working environment for its employees and contractors. If health and safety incidents occur, our people as well as society in general may be significantly affected. Should health and safety incidents occur, our company could face regulatory and financial implications while our business continuity may be disrupted, causing delays and having a negative impact on our reputation and social license to operate. In recognition of our responsibility towards our employees, contractors and the wider local communities we operate in, our company maintains an integrated Health and Safety Management System, the basis of which is to ensure a safe working environment for our people and those affected by our Group activities.
Growing the share of natural gas in the product portfolio
Undeniably, oil and gas are critical in today's energy and economic systems. However, increasing societal demands on oil and gas companies are questioning their business models and asking them to contribute to tackling climate change. Energean is committed to contributing to the energy transition through its business model and primary output of extracting and producing fuels. We consider gas as a transition fuel, the way forward to the sustainable growth of both society and business. We have made it a strategic priority to delivering lower-carbon fuels and becoming a primarily gas-focused company. Inaction in this regard is not an option; it would be detrimental to our sustainable development and existence, as well as to our social license to operate. Over the coming years, pressures including regulatory ones, will only increase on all industry actors to contribute to the transformation of the energy sector, and thus Energean has commenced transitioning its business model and contributing to the global needs for clean energy access and cleaner air.
Reducing greenhouse gases and other air emissions
Energean is focused on reducing emissions generated regularly or potentially through our company's operations, such as combustion emissions (e.g. flared hydrocarbons, emissions from stationary devices and mobile sources), vented emissions (e.g. from floating roof tanks) and fugitive emissions (e.g. unintended equipment leaks). Such emissions may occur across the scope of our onshore and offshore facilities. Potential unintended impacts that could occur include a deterioration of the environment local to our operations as well as a negative impact on our relationships with local stakeholders. In addition, our company may face operational, reputational and regulatory issues related to the management of greenhouse gases and other air emissions such as NOx, Sox and VOCs. We have established various controls and monitoring systems in order to meet our objectives in terms of emissions reduction and to continuously improve our performance in alignment with the targets set by the international community.
Reducing (non-renewable) energy consumption
Responsible energy management is essential to Energean, as it is a top priority for our company to contribute to the sustainability agenda of our international community and to the Paris Agreement. Our energy management activities are part of our comprehensive Environmental Management System, which covers all our facilities and activities. Impacts may occur at any point throughout our value chain, as energy is consumed at our office buildings and onshore facilities, as well as at our offshore facilities and during the use of equipment. Through our efforts on efficient energy management we aim to reduce our carbon emissions, ensure efficient resource management and avoid placing further strain on the planet's fuel resources.
Safeguarding human rights at work
Energean, a global company with an international supply chain, is committed to safeguarding human rights throughout the full scope of its operations. Impacts on human rights may occur at any stage of our operations and at any part of our supply chain. If human rights are not respected, our people may be affected, and our reputation may be severely damaged leading to financial loss. Furthermore, we may face legal consequences as well as a lack of trust in our business relationships and in the communities within which we operate.
Increasing the implementation of water efficiency innovations
Water is essential to our operations, as significant water amounts are required during our production processes. Therefore, proper and responsible water management processes are highly important to Energean. Energean recognizes its responsibility to protect access to clean water, which is an established human right. In this context, Energean has established various controls in an effective and responsible water management approach, which aims to avoid potential impacts to the marine environment. In case water is not properly managed, we may face regulatory and financial implications, and our relationships with the local communities we operate in may be severely impacted.
Building and maintaining community relations
Establishing strong and mutually beneficial relationships with the communities we operate in, is something we highly value. We monitor the impact of our operations on the local and host communities and undertake initiatives in order to address any concerns. Energean takes further action, not simply to coexist in the local environment, but to actually contribute to an improved standard of living. As part of the Oil & Gas industry, which is part of debate on its impacts on the local communities and their ecosystems, we actively manage relevant risks and take advantage of opportunities in order to create shared value for all. We try to avoid potential disruption of our efforts, which would lead to a deterioration of the relationshipsthatwehavemanagedto establishwiththelocalstakeholders, damage to our reputation and the ultimate loss of our social license to operate.
Ensuring emergency preparedness
For an oil and gas company like Energean, it is of critical importance to always be fully prepared for emergencies, in order to ensure the safety of our people, the safety of the local communities of our operations, and the protection of the environment. An oil spill, a release of hydrocarbons or other hazardous substances or any other potential critical incident can have serious implications on our people, on the environment, on our reputation and social license to operate. Energean has established a safety culture across our operations through the implementation and continuous improvement of safety management systems and policies, in order to prevent emergency incidents which could be caused within our supply chain. Through these policies and systems Energean ensures the effective response of its personnel and contractors in case of critical incidents.
Ensuring regulatory compliance
Energean operates in an inherently hazardous industry subject to substantial regulation. Compliance with the applicable laws and regulations is fundamental to our business. Energean implements various controls in order to ensure compliance to the rapidly changing regulatory environment it operates in. Potential impacts of non-compliance include safety impacts on our personnel, suppliers and contractors, severe impacts to the environment, as well as loss of our social license to operate in the countries of our operations, further to potential legal and financial liabilities.

Ensuring
regulatory compliance
Our Management Approach
Energean's core principle is compliance with the applicable laws and regulations in every country where we operate and constitutes a central pillar of our Corporate Culture and Business Ethics Policy. Regulatory compliance must be followed by all employees, contractors and business partners across our operations. We are unequivocally committed to laws, regulations, decrees and any other binding decisions and documents that have been signed by the States in which we operate. In addition, we abide by regulations and decisions set by the United Nations and the European Union, especially in terms of the environment, health and safety and employment rights. Our Legal Department is available for consultations and guidance on the correct actions to be taken. In collaboration with other functions, it continuously reviews our performance and monitors compliance with applicable laws and regulations as well as best practice in the industry.
We have established a risk management framework to evaluate regulation and compliance risk. More information on the framework and the principal risks and uncertainties we have identified can be found within Energean's Annual Report (pages 58 to 78). Our Audit and Risk Committee is responsible to review the Group's overall risk assessment processes and identify and manage new types of risk in collaboration with the company's Compliance function. In order to ensure compliance with financial reporting requirements, the Committee receives regular regulatory updates. Furthermore, the Committee maintains the oversight of the Group's system of internal controls and the work of the outsourced internal audit function. Specifically, the Committee approves the role and mandate of the internal audit function, including the approval of the annual internal audit plan and monitoring the effectiveness of the function.
With regards to the prevention of marine pollution, the main legislative framework we adopt and comply with includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- International convention for the prevention of pollution from ships (MARPOL)
- Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals (REACH)
- Treaty on oil pollution preparedness, response and cooperation (OPRC)
- Directive for the safety of offshore oil and gas facilities (2013/30/ EC)
- Barcelona Convention
- Agreement on the conservation of cetaceans in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and contiguous Atlantic (ACCOBAMS)
- UN convention on the law of the sea (UNCLOS)
- Stockholm convention on persistent pollutants (POPs)
On biodiversity protection, the main legislative frameworks that we adopt and comply with are the following:
More specifically in Israel, due to the fact that the Karish FPSO will be located in a complex geopolitical location, enhanced security and defence measures as required by law and under the lease requirements will be taken to ensure its protection.
Energean will be responsible for general security measures, in accordance with Israeli Defence Force (IDF) guidelines, while regulatory authority for defence systems lies with the IDF and will, by law, be led by the Israeli Navy acting as the government regulatory defence entity.
Our Group carries out various actions in order to mitigate such risks. These include:
>Compliance with the HSE & SR policy |
>Monitoring of and adhering to changes in the regulatory |
environment |
>Active monitoring of the political, economic and social |
situation in historically sensitive geopolitical environment |
where Energean operates |
>Continuous improvement of the HSE Management System |
>ISO 14001 Accreditation for all production installations |
>Continuous monitoring of air quality |
Governance risks and compliance
Energean monitors and addresses human rights, health and safety, environmental risks, as well as risks related to corruption, bribery and fraud. In order to do so, it has established a range of policies including the Corporate Culture and Business Ethics Policy, the Anti-Corruption and Bribery or "ABC" Policy, and the Whistleblowing Policy. Energean's Board and Executive Management maintain oversight of the risks related to these areas, provide leadership and ensure ethical standards are maintained.
Energean complies with the UK Corporate Governance Code ("the Code"), issued by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), which is available at www.frc.org.uk. The way Energean applies the principles of the Code and our corporate governance arrangements are outlined within our Annual Report 2019 (pages 86 to 114). The Board has once again reviewed its compliance with the Code and confirms that it continues to comply with all the provisions.
As part of the Company's ABC compliance program and within the context of the ABC Policy, the Company has recently introduced a third party risk management procedure to support the Company's relevant functions (i.e. contracts & procurement department, CSR, commercial team) in conducting third-party due diligence on potential associated parties with a view to mitigating the risk of becoming involved in corruption through Company's counterparties.
Health & Safety compliance
Compliance with all applicable health and safety legislation and regulations is a fundamental requirement for Energean. In order to protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors and the general public, we have established an integrated Health and Safety Management System (H&S MS), aligned with international standards, safety directives, and European regulations, which covers all our company offices and premises and all activities at project locations and operational sites. We aim to obtain accreditation of our production sites systems according to the international standard ISO 45001.
Our Health, Safety, Environmental & Social Responsibility Policy stipulates that Energean shall comply with all relevant laws, standards and best practices. It clearly states that the policy applies to all staff and contractors, who should be fully aware of and comply with this policy. Energean monitors compliance to the policy and takes corrective action as necessary. In addition, it places an emphasis on continuous
improvement, by setting and monitoring relevant performance objectives and targets.
Energean maintains a Corporate Major Accident Prevention policy (CMAPP), recognizing that the nature of Energean's offshore oil and gas operations may result in major accidents, outlines Energean's responsibility to comply with the Offshore Safety Directive and with the Seveso Directive, to control risks of major accidents and to continuously improve such controls. The policy includes Energean's commitment to achieve high standards of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) performance and to make available all necessary resources to achieve these goals. More information on this policy, as well as on our "Stop Work" policy can be found in the section "Ensuring emergency preparedness".
We establish and continuously monitor procedures and instructions for safe operation in order to be able to adapt to changes in operations, regulations, industry standards and technology. Our procedures take into account all employees and contractors who are monitored to ensure compliance. Energean provides regular internal and external safety training so that all employees and contractors are informed and aware of their compliance expectations.
Environmental compliance
As mentioned in the Health & Safety compliance section, the Health, Safety, Environmental & Social Responsibility Policy provides details on Energean's compliance requirements and the relevant responsibilities. Our system includes monitoring key environmental parameters in order to ensure full compliance with environmental laws and regulations. This is done through systematic observation, verification and documentation, with the ultimate goal to identify and implement corrective and preventive actions. Thorough review and assessment of the applicable environmental regulatory framework is carried out prior to the initiation of any of our projects.
The main environmental legislative frameworks that we have adopted and comply with are the following:
- Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the impacts of certain public and private projects on the environment (EIA Directive)
- Water framework directive (WFD), 2000/60/EU
- Marine strategy framework directive (MSFD), 2008/56/EC
- Directive 2008/98/EC on waste (Waste Framework Directive)
- Convention on migratory species (CMS or Bonn convention)
- Convention on biological diversity (CBD)
- Birds directive (2009/409/EC)
- Habitats directive (92/43/EEC)
- Other conventions, such as the Bern and Ramsar conventions
For more information on the environmental legislative framework, please visit www.energean.com
Financial compliance
The Directors of the company have the responsibility to ensure and confirm that Energean's financial statements comply with applicable law and legislations. The Group undergoes internal and external audits on its financial statements, during which compliance reviews against the International Financial Reporting Standards are carried out.
Legal and regulatory risks and opportunities
Energean is committed to full compliance with all relevant laws. Regarding the formation of new policy and laws, Energean responds to all consultations, as for example the UN climate change working group, to which our HSE Director is currently contributing.
As part of its risk assessment process, Energean has identified Health, Safety and Environmental Risks as principal risks. As the Group operates in an industry that is inherently hazardous and subject to comprehensive regulation, and even through the Group considers that it has adequate procedures in place, there can be no assurances that these will be indeed adequate. Failure to mitigate such risks may result in loss of life, injury, or adverse impacts on our people and the environment, and may give rise to significant liabilities.
Relevant risks include, among others, risk of increased compliance costs, risks associated with changes in policy, risk linked to the loss of financial incentives, reputation risks, risks of strategy misalignment to the legal and regulatory environment, and risks of not being aligned with the expectations of our stakeholders. In terms of opportunities, compliance with the legal and regulatory environment can lead improved community relations.

Safeguarding Occupational Health & Safety
and Wellbeing
Our Management Approach
Energean is committed to operating at the highest standards of HSE for its employees, partners, the general public, and the environment. As mentioned in our Code of Conduct, Energean's priority is to ensure that all our people return home safe and well at the end of every working day and that all accidents that potentially affect stakeholders and the company are prevented. In order to prevent potential health and safety incidents, we promote the establishment of a wider health and safety culture to all of our employees, contractors and suppliers, and carry out a vast array of actions including implementing H&S investment plans and providing regular training to our employees.
Our company continuously monitors key HSE performance indicators and we have continued to deliver upon our exemplary HSE track record, with one million hours free of Lost Time Incidents in Energean sites plus four million man-hours on the FPSO construction yard in China. In 2019, Energean drilled 4 Deepwater wells offshore Israel with a best in class HSE record. In our efforts to achieve and maintain high standards of HSE performance, we provide the necessary resources and equipment (e.g. Personal Protective Equipment) to our people for them to carry out their work safely, we implement an annual health programme and ensure the availability of medical fitness certificates for all our employees and contractors.
Training
As regular training on occupational H&S-related topics is critical for the proper and safe execution of work carried out by our employees and our contractors, we ensure appropriate and regular training is provided to all employees. Energean has established a competence and assurance management scheme based on the company's ongoing needs. H&S training is provided to all employees and contractors either annually or bi annually and internal training sessions of at least eight hours are provided to our personnel every year.
Risk management
In order to identify and assess risks associated with H&S aspects within our operations, we employ a stringent process that includes consultations, on-site inspections, modelling procedures, literature review and other methods. In general, risks are managed so far as is reasonably practicable, ensuring that they are within the 'acceptable' or 'tolerable' level under ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable). Energean has established a 'Stop Work' policy, according to which any person employed and/or contracted by Energean shall immediately stop work in case that any employee, a company asset or the local environment is at risk. No fault shall be placed on any employee that calls for a Stop Work order, even this order proves to be unnecessary upon further investigation, and work resumes only if approval is provided taking into account all the relevant safety aspects.
How do we evaluate our performance?
Internal and external audits, reviews, regular inspections and compliance checks are the activities carried out within Energean in order to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations, European directives and international standards. Key performance indicators are monitored continuously, and we focus on improving our performance constantly. The completion of risk assessments and the availability of Permits to Work are required prior to the initiation of tasks. Reporting accidents and incidents is carried out through a detailed process with ensures the thorough investigation and the timely implementation of the relevant Corrective And Preventive
H&S Policy and Management System
Energean has established and maintains a comprehensive and integrated Health and Safety Management System (H&S MS) that is aligned with the requirements of international standards and European safety directives and is based on continuous improvement. Our system is governed by the Health, Safety, Environmental (HSE) & Social Responsibility (SR) policy, which sets out the corporate values, standards and expectations in terms of HSE & SR aspects related to the company's employees, partners, stakeholders, general public, environment and sustainable development. In addition, as per our Code of Conduct, the Management System demonstrates to all employees and contractors Energean's core business principles and philosophy. The system is based on international best practices for our industry and it is based on a 'Plan-Do-Assess-Adjust' cycle. Our
system is complemented by specific procedures and guidelines,
method statements and records of compliance. Energean aims to certify its H&S Management System against the international standard ISO 45001 in the future.
Leadership
Our CEO has the overall responsibility and accountability for health and safety (H&S) and takes all the necessary steps to ensure that our company operates to the highest level of H&S performance. In this effort, our CEO is supported by our HSE Committee which evaluates the effectiveness of the Group's policies and systems for identifying and managing environmental, health, safety and security risks as well as matters relating to equality, diversity, business ethics and corporate social responsibility. The establishment of the HSE Committee showcases Energean's top management commitment towards safeguarding health, safety and environmental aspects across our business operations.
The HSE Committee carries out two meetings per year. The Committee regularly collaborates with the HSE Director and the Head of CSR and reports proceedings to the Board of Directors.

Energean has established an internal process to assess the performance of the HSE Committee in 2019. The Committee will be subject to an external evaluation in 2020.
It is within the Committee's responsibility to review internal audit reports of the HSE department as well as the follow up of action points from the audit. In addition, the Committee reviews the external sustainability related reporting of the company and focuses on developing the external reporting related to sustainability further. The Committee conducts visits to our sites and operations in order to evaluate the management of HSE aspects in practice.
Supplier screening
Energean implements a systematic screening process of our contractors and suppliers, in terms of health and safety performance, to ensure the adoption of our H&S culture across all of our operations and supplies. We continuously monitor the HSE performance of our suppliers and contractors, including monitoring indicators such as Lost Time Injuries Frequency (LTIF) and Total Recordable Injuries Rates (TRIR). Indicatively we mention that our contractors' Lost Time Injuries Frequency (LTIF) and Total Recordable Injuries Rate (TRIR) during 2019 was 0.29 and 0.88 respectively, considering 1 million hours worked, while relevant peers' KPIs in 2018 were 0.64 and 2.41.
Compliance
It is of paramount importance for Energean to be compliant with all applicable H&S legislation. Energean ensures compliance with
local laws and European legislations within all the company offices,
premises, project locations and operational sites. Compliance is monitored through thorough internal audits and inspections as
well as regular audits by third party organizations. Energean
encourages its employees to raise issues in good faith if they become aware of breaches of the Company's policies and Code of Conduct and operates on a "No Retaliation Policy" which protects individuals who raise concerns.

Increasing the implementation of
water efficiency innovations
Our Management Approach
Effective water management is at the core of Energean's operations. Energean recognizes the importance of global water resources and aims to reduce the impact of its operations upon water resources, through adopting responsiblepracticesandmanagementsystems.WecontinuetodevelopourISO14001accreditedEnvironmental Management System, in line with all applicable national laws and European directives. In order to ensure compliance, we monitor the applicable regulatory framework for water management, which includes:
- The Water Framework Directive
- The Marine Strategy Framework Directive
- The Barcelona Convention
- The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL)
Energean continuously monitors its onshore and offshore water discharges in the company's production sites in Greece, in order to meet the requirements of the above mentioned frameworks and continue the company's excellent track record of operating in sensitive marine environments without causing environmental damage. Furthermore, we achieved having zero environmental impact of our operations offshore Israel and Montenegro in line with national and international environmental standards.
Our production activities in our onshore and offshore facilities result in water discharges which include:
- Produced water, which arises from oil extraction
- Oily water (usually rainwater) which falls on surfaces and machinery and potentially acquires high concentrations of grease and oil
- Utility water, including cooling water
We recycle and reuse water withdrawals for production, cooling, firefighting and utilities. Furthermore, we ensure proper and responsible treatment of our discharged wastewaters. In order to do so, we monitor and measure all our discharges to the marine environment, with water use intensity being one of the Key Performance Indicators that we monitor. During our daily worksite checks we monitor water usage, water pollution incidents, washouts of stormwater and spills.
Energean is focused on investing in innovations in order to improve water efficiency. Our main priority is to ensure proper and sustainable use of water resources, preventing any form of pollution. We take action so that for all our projects we implement the most advanced innovations for the efficient use of water resources in line with best practices in our sector.
Energean carries out Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) prior to the initiation of each project covering both our onshore and offshore activities. Our ESIAs analyse the management of water resources during all project phases, including construction, operations, and abandonment. These studies additionally outline our mitigation measures, such as for example avoiding accidents using good practice codes, collision avoidance and fuel handling and transfer procedures. They also stress Energean's requirement that all staff and contractors shall undertake training and maintain good housekeeping standards. Wastewater management, monitoring and reporting requirements are further analysed within our Pollution Prevention Plans and our Environmental and Social Management and Monitoring Plans.
Our facilities include open drains and closed drains systems. Open drains systems collect surface waste liquids and allow their intakes to be vented to the atmosphere. Closed drains systems are fully contained drains, hard piped, which ensure drainage through all the facilities necessary before reprocessing or safe disposal to the environment. Through these systems, we prevent unintentional discharges of untreated fluids to the marine environment. In line with the relevant environmental permits and set limits, we treat and clean produced water from our projects from oil, hydrogen sulphide and other pollutants prior to discharge.
Energean has established a grievance mechanism in order to handle complaints related to the environment, including water management issues. The responsible Environmental Officer, with the HSE Director who is involved as necessary, address such complaints raised by stakeholders and ensure that the necessary actions are put into place. Energean recognizes the social, economic and political implications of its operations and aims to protect water resources and minimize its impact on the environment that it operates in.
In terms of protecting marine and terrestrial biodiversity, Energean has established an Environmental Management & Monitoring Plan (ESMMP) which, among others, specifies our practices and processes to conserve or enhance biodiversity. In addition, we have developed a Biodiversity Wildlife Management Plan, which covers ecology and wildlife training, protocols to protect marine mammals, pre-construction ecological surveys and wildlife inspections, habitat and species protection during construction and the relevant monitoring and reporting. Throughout our operations, we take into account regulations and directives such as the Bonn Convention, the Ramsar Convention, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the Birds and Habitats Directives. In the summer of 2019, in Northeastern Greece, Energean signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Management Body of Nestos River Delta, Lakes Vistonida - Ismarida and Thassos Island for the maintenance of the Management Body's biodiversity monitoring telemetric stations.

Ensuring
Emergency Preparedness
Our Management Approach
Energean is committed to providing safe and healthy working conditions for all workers in its business and avoiding health and safety risks to third parties. In order to deliver on this commitment, our company implements an operational framework including control mechanisms and detailed procedures and instructions which are continuously developed, monitored and reviewed. As per our Health, Safety, Environmental & Social Responsibility Policy, Energean maintains emergency procedures designed to enable the company to respond to and recover from any Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) emergency, crisis and associated business disruption, which are regularly tested for their effectiveness. Our employees should be aware of the procedures that apply to their area of work in case of an emergency, and should ensure that visitors are also familiar with them.
At Energean, we recognize that the nature of our business, offshore oil and gas operations, may give rise to major accidents that could potentially have significant adverse environmental impacts. It is our responsibility to control the risks of major accidents and to continuously improve our controls in line with advancements in technology and good oilfield practices. Therefore, we have developed and implement a Corporate Major Accident Prevention Policy (CMAPP), approved by the Board, which outlines our responsibilities and commitments.
Our CMAPP recognizes our responsibility to comply with the Offshore Safety Directive 2013/30/EU and the Seveso Directive 2012/18/ EU. Furthermore, it outlines our responsibility to protect and preserve the health and safety of people and good environmental conditions. The policy highlights our commitment to achieving high standards of HSE performance and to ensuring the availability of all necessary resources to fulfil our commitment.
The policy outlines the responsibilities in order to create a safe working environment. Energean's Board of Directors (BoD) is responsible to ensure compliance of the CMAPP with the applicable legislation, our core values, our Code of Conduct and corporate strategy. The BoD of each of Energean's subsidiaries is responsible to ensure that their systems and activities comply with the CMAPP while, each Country Manager is responsible for country-wide implementation of the CMAPP as well as monitoring and reporting compliance to the policy.
Visit on the Stena DrillMAX of Israel's Minister of Energy, Mr. Yuval Steinitz, during the drilling of the Karish North exploration well (March 2019).
Our policy states that Energean shall control the risks of major accidents arising from our onshore and offshore oil & gas operations so far as reasonably practicable, ensuring that such risks are within the "acceptable" or "tolerable" ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practical) levels. Energean has developed a systematic and structured approach to achieve this, through our HSE Management system, which governs the following aspects:
- Organization, Personnel & Training, including evaluating the effectiveness of personnel and contractor competency programs;
- Identification and Evaluation of Major Hazards, with the active involvement of all employees;
- Operational Control, including key required measures to prevent hazards from arising, mitigating consequences and ensuring effective recovery;
- Management of Change, covering both permanent and temporary changes;
- Planning for Emergencies, such ason-site emergency plans, cooperation with local Fire Authorities, the implementation of scenario drills;
- Monitoring Performance, through established Key Performance Indicators reported quarterly to Country Managers and the BoD;
- Regular Audit and Review to assess the degree of implementation and the effectiveness of the CMAPP and the HSE Management system, including reviewing capabilities and goals in terms of major accident hazard management.
Energean has developed a detailed Contingency Plan for each of our projects which outlines a course of action for the mobilization of personnel and equipment that may be required to handle a serious emergency. We accept that our system may result in overreaction or unnecessary actions, as our main priority is to do everything possible to provide a safe working environment and to minimize the possibility of causing damage or injuries to third parties. The plan includes the oil spill response plan of each facility, procedures on training and safety drills, as well as managing Personal Protective Equipment for our employees and contractors. It includes procedures to be followed both for minor incidents, such as injuries, damages to facilities or pollution such as rubbish and solid debris, as well as major incidents such as fires.
We determine the level of risk associated with our facilities through performing Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) studies. The purpose of the QRA is to provide a numerical estimate of the level of risk to people, associated with identified and defined major accidents. The QRA provides a means to compare the derived risk levels against industry-accepted criteria and also provides a baseline against which potential risk reduction measures can be assessed. Our QRA enables us to demonstrate that individual and total facility risk levels have been managed to be ALARP and to define a number of oil spill scenarios, model them deterministically, and assess potential environmental impacts.
It is Energean's policy to maintain a safe and secure environment against risk or exposure to personal harm, property damage or adverse effects to the environment. In this context, we have established a "Stop Work" policy, according to which work should stop if any employee, company asset or the environment is at risk. This policy applies to all our personnel and contractors. More information on this policy is provided in the material topic "Safeguarding occupational health & safety and wellbeing".
Energean has also established a Marine contingency plan, which aims to set the necessary procedures in order to handle specific incidents, such as oil spills, pipeline and tanker leaks and non-controlled abnormalities of the production platforms and applies to all our onshore and offshore facilities. We ensure that all personnel including employees and contractors receive regular and comprehensive training on the use of oil spill-fighting equipment and that all our facilities are fully equipped with the necessary technology and tools to combat critical incidents. The Marine contingency plan takes into account all employees, partners, local communities, local authorities and other relevant stakeholders. Energean has never had to put its emergency response procedures into practice, but we remain ready to act in the potential event of an accident and/or any other emergency.
Energean's operations resulted in zero spills during the reporting period, continuing our track record of zero environmental incidents during the years of our operations.

Reducing greenhouse gases
and other air emissions (e.g. NOx, SOx, VOCs)
Our Management Approach
In terms of reporting, Energean intends to report emissions through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Through this process, Energean aims to obtain a clear understanding of our company's emissions and enable our company to enhance its emission reduction efforts. We are already disclosing Scope 1 and 2 emissions and we are in the process of standardizing emissions calculations and reporting processes for Scope 3 emissions as per CDP requirements.
Energean has established a comprehensive set of plans which include management, monitoring and reporting processes related to greenhouse gas emissions and form the basis of our Environmental Management System, which is aligned to ISO 14001 across our operations. These are:
> Health, Safety, Environmental & Social Responsibility Policy, setting our commitment towards safeguarding the environment and |
reducing emissions. |
Energean is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and aims to minimize its impact on air quality across its operations. Our company has set ambitious targets and aims to become a leading E&P company not only in terms of reducing carbon emissions but in sustainability in general. Currently, around 80% of our portfolio is gas, in alignment with our goal to transition our portfolio to natural gas.
During the reporting period, Energean became the first E&P company in the world to commit to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. One way through which we aim to achieve this goal is to reduce absolute GHG emissions. We additionally aim to balance a measured amount of carbon releases with an equivalent amount sequestered or offset or buying enough carbon credits to account for the difference. We are also looking into Hydrogen production, Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs), Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), reforestation and afforestation projects and are evaluating their feasibility and effectiveness in order to potentially incorporate them in our operations.
Energean also participates in the Oil & Gas Assessing Low- Carbon Transition Technical Working Group (ACT TWG) which, according to the Paris Agreement Goals, focuses on developing methodologies to determine the degree of alignment of a company with a world having a well-below 2oC rise scenario. This is performed through a holistic sectorial approach, considering both quantitative and qualitative indicators. The ultimate goal is to obtain insights on the company's current and future ability to reduce its climate impact.
We are aligned with the policy requirements set in the countries of our operations in terms of emissions reductions. In Israel, as per government policy published in 2018, emissions in energy production are to be reduced with reducing the use of polluting fuel products by 2030. According to the policy, a fuel mix of 80% natural gas and 20% or more from renewable energy sources in the electricity production sector should be targeted.
Energean has also set ambitious goals regarding carbon intensity reduction. According to our near-term carbon intensity reduction plan for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, we estimate a reduction of about 70% by 2022, following first gas from Karish and integration of the Edison E&P portfolio.
We calculate our Scope 1 emissions including the seven GHGs under the Kyoto Protocol for our production facilities using heat and fuel benchmarks and undergo a verification process of our calculations by an independent body. We take into account combustion of gas mixtures for the production of thermal energy for our processes and combustion of gas mixtures and fuels for mechanical purposes and utilities. In addition, we measure and take into account gas mixture net heating value, composition and volume. Regarding Scope 2 emissions, we apply the location- based method and consider the electrical energy purchased and consumed throughout all our company premises by using country level grid electricity factors provided by electrical power supply administrators.
> Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Plan, which, as well as specific processes to be carried out including relevant training and |

> Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), carried out prior to the initiation of each project, in which the key environmental |
issues and potential impacts are identified across all the project phases. Within the ESIAs, emissions to air during the construction, |
operation and abandonment phases of each project, are investigated, both for our onshore and offshore facilities. |
> Environmental Management Plans, approved by the Greek government as part of our relevant Environmental Impact Assessment, |
which outlines processes to manage environmental impacts resulting from our operations. |
Energean has implemented a Continuous Monitoring (CEM) System to monitor parameters such as temperature, pressure drop, H2S and combustible gases within our existing plant locations. Our central environmental station in the wider area of Thasos and Kavala monitors atmospheric emission levels and various meteorological parameters alongside 12 stations monitoring the total sulphation of the atmosphere on a monthly basis. The station specifically monitors:
- Concentration of hydrogen sulphide (H2S)
- Concentration of sulphur dioxide (SO2)
- Concentration of total hydrocarbons (HCT)
- Concentration of methane (CH4)
- Concentration ofnon-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC)
- Measurements of meteorological parameters (wind direction and speed, ambient temperature, relative humidity)
Energean is committed to complying with the relevant regulatory requirements in order to reduce greenhouse gases and other air emissions. In order to do so, we ensure that our HSE policy is aligned with the local and national, legal and regulatory requirements across the full scope of our operations. Energean addresses the applicable statutory limit values for pollutants according to the air quality limits established by the European Union and is compliant with the applicable European directives, such as the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Registry annual reporting on SOx/SO2 emissions. Regarding emissions from vessel operation, we ensure that all vessels utilized in our projects meet the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) requirements pertaining to emissions in the atmosphere. We have taken steps to eliminate the need for unintentional flaring, given that flares are sources of continuous emissions and may cause significant environmental impacts. Our compliance with internal and external requirements is challenged during frequent audits by local and state authorities.
Targets in 2020
- Participate in Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)
- Implement the recommendations of the Task Force onClimate-Change Financial Disclosure (TCFD)
- Reduce our Carbon Emissions Intensity in Scope 1 and Scope 2 by more than 50% following Edison's acquisition
- Quantify the medium andlong-term plan activities

Energy Consumption
Our Management Approach
ItisoneofourtopprioritiesatEnergeantoprotecttheenvironment and minimize our impact on the planet. Our business model is based on contributing to meet the world's growing energy needs in ways that are economically, environmentally and socially responsible. Energean embraces the values of sustainable development and has integrated energy efficient practices within all its activities, in order to deliver on our commitments in this regard. As mentioned in our Health, Safety, Environmental & Social Responsibility Policy, we shall conduct business taking into consideration the efficient use and conservation of energy and resources.
In order to deliver on our commitment to address our environmental responsibilities throughout our value chain and be compliant with the applicable national and European legislation, EnergeanhasestablishedanISO14001accreditedEnvironmental Management System (EMS) which enables us to manage our responsibilities, enhance our energy efficiency and minimize our energy consumption. Within the scope of this system, Energean analyses and reviews energy use and energy consumption data from various sources. Energy use intensity, both electrical and thermal, is one of the Key Performance Indicators that we monitor on a continuous basis as part of our EMS.
Energean established within the reporting period Energy Management Teams in the production installations with the responsibility to conduct annual Energy Analysis & Reviews in order to identify energy issues and opportunities for performance optimization. These teams calculate the contribution of each specific energy consumption to the total energy consumed, in order to evaluate the significance of energy consumption.
Following this analysis, the most significant sources of energy consumption are identified, which are defined as those that exceed 2% of the total energy consumption. Energean is then able to focus its efforts on optimizing these significant sources through the implementation of a regression analysis which aims to identify differences between actual and expected consumption based on statistical data.
During 2019, we carried out several actions in order to lower our energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency of our operations. Firstly, we carried out a detailed inspection of our steam networks, which resulted in the elimination of steam losses. In addition, we downgraded our steam boilers and reduced our cooling water pumps consumption through cleaning the cooling water lines. Furthermore, we continued replacing conventional light lamps with LED lamps. During the reporting period, we also commenced the revamping and downgrading of a sour gas compressor medium voltage motor.

Growing the share of natural gas
in the product portfolio
Our Management Approach
Companies active in the oil and gas industry are facing increasing societal and environmental pressures and demands to contribute to the energy transition through their business models and operations and to take part in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. In this context, Energean considers sustainable development integral to our corporate philosophy and core to our organization. This is evident though our corporate purpose and vision. Our purpose is to create long-term value for all our stakeholders and help deliver the energy transition through a focus on gas, a lower-carbon fuel, which is considered the fuel of the future. Our vision entails becoming the leading sustainable, gas-focused and innovative independent E&P company in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Our purpose and vision have been integrated within our strategy, which entails developing a balanced portfolio of gas assets. Our strategic focus on gas has led us to place our oil field assets in the Prinos Area under strategic review. This means that production from Prinos will be maintained through rig-less activities and investment will remain limited as our company decides where to allocate capital throughout the wider portfolio in the best manner.
During 2019, Energean agreed to acquire Edison E&P for $750 million plus $100 million of contingent consideration. This acquisition enables us to scale up our operations, diversify our portfolio and acquire a material presence in eight countries across the Mediterranean. Gas accounts for 80% of Edison E&P's portfolio, further contributing to our strategic priority of having a gas-weighted portfolio.
Energean continues to see strong demand for its gas, and its flagship project is the 2.2 Tcf Karish and Tanin development offshore Israel. Our strategic investment in this project aims to transform our business and enable us to attain our leadership position in the Eastern Mediterranean as a sustainable and gas-focused company. It is envisaged that the Karish and Tanin project will produce first gas in 1H 2021.
Energean's portfolio is currently 80% gas-weighted (excluding Algeria and UK). Our near-term primary objective is to deliver the Karish project, integrate Edison and discover more gas through further exploration drilling in the region of the Mediterranean. According to our estimations, we expect a reduction of approximately 70% by 2023 on our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, following first gas from Karish and the integration of the Edison E&P portfolio.

Building and maintaining
Community Relations
Our Management Approach
Energean aims to have a positive impact on the communities it operates in. Teamwork and collaboration are at the forefront of Energean's company values. Therefore, we believe that building trust and relationships within communities is integral to our progression as a Company. We monitor how our operations influence the well-being of our host communities, in order to focus our activities on improving local quality of life, and maintaining our social license to operate.
By investing in communities, we seek the establishment of mutually beneficial relationships between our Company and the local communities in which we operate. We consider the provision of solutions to the social issues that our communities are facing to be a joint effort, in which trust is key. In the long run, it is Energean's goal to make these solutions as sustainable as possible.
As a whole, the energy industry's impact on natural resources as well as local communities and their ecosystems is subject to scrutiny and debate. Energean believes in creating shared value among its stakeholders as well as implementing responsible practices, controlling the management of risk while still maintaining the ability to seize business opportunities in a changing environment.
Our CSR policy, which is embedded in our company values and guided by international standards and best practices, is fundamental in how our business functions. Energean is always seeking to improve its sustainable development agenda by collaborating with governments, the private sector and the civil society in order to progress on a global, regional, national and local level.
No poverty
In partnership with NGOs, Energean strongly values the support of less fortunate and vulnerable people. We strive to combat poverty and are always seeking new ways to give back to society. In 2019, Energean:
- Supported the NGO in Greece "Together for Children" through the CSR initiative "I give because I care". Energean donated children's items, food, personal hygiene products, cleaning and school supplies, as well as clothes.
Zero hunger
Energean has established long-lasting support networks with NGOs in their fight to prevent hunger by supporting poor and vulnerable people who have limited access to good food and proper nutrition.
Specifically, our company:

Greece
Although in a recession for almost 10 years, the country has upgraded the E&P activity by proceeding with international tenders and awards of new licenses to companies and JVs offshore in Western Greece, as well as in the Ionian Sea and Crete. The main risk for the E&P activity occurs from the volatility in the markets, that usually affect more projects that are dealing with tough bureaucratic environments and delays, as well as the wider discussion regarding climate change. Although no E&P projects have been postponed or delayed in Greece due to environmental/climate change issues, it is possible that this situation will have an impact on the implementation of such projects in several aspects (bureaucratic procedures to worsen, pressure from the public opinion for more strict regulation and legislation etc.)
In its areas of operations, Energean has been trying to mitigate risks by implementing a strategy based on the following:
- Adoption of the latest EU directions and legislation related to the E&P activity.
- Implementation of carbon emissions reduction plans.
- Continuous training of its staff and implementation of response drills to make sure that all its facilities and operations are working properly and in accordance with our core principle "SAFETY FIRST".
- Work closely with its shareholders to make them realise the benefits the activity has to the local communities as well as to mitigate any potential impact on their daily life.
- Being always open to participate in public discussions with focus on E&P projects in order to present and explain all the aspects of its operations and establish a continuous dialogue with the local and scientific communities.
Montenegro
In March 2017, Energean signed a Concession Agreement (hereinafter: PCC) with the State of Montenegro regarding hydrocarbons exploration and exploitation in offshore blocks 4219- 26 and 4218-30. In order to fulfil the mandatory work programme as defined by the PCC, in February 2019 Energean carried out a 3D geophysical (seismic) survey in the said two offshore blocks located in the Adriatic Sea.
Based on the analysis of the existing relationships between the project activities, environment, local communities and Energean's stakeholders, the relevant Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has provided an evaluation of the potential impacts resulting from the project.
Due to the location of two offshore blocks, it was ascertained that the conduct of the 3D geophysical survey may cause certain temporary interferences to the fisheries activities within the area of the 3D geophysical survey. As a result, the relevant EIA has defined mitigation measures identified to manage interaction with fisheries activities, including the negotiation of the disturbance allowance to the Montenegrin professional fishermen for the loss of access to fishing grounds and disturbance or displacement of fishing activities potentially resulting from the project implementation.
Prior to commencement of the project, several meetings were held with local Fishermen Associations and the competent Ministry of Rural Development and Agriculture. The whole affair was well organized and civilized and the local fishermen representatives understood and accepted the concepts and the proposed procedure as well as the amount of compensation stating that they recognize Energean's efforts to engage with the community & to minimize the impact of the project to the fullest extent possible.
Non- technical delays
Prinos, Greece
Energean's development plan continued with no issues related to the local community.
Katakolo, Greece
In April 2019, the Greek State via the Pyrgos Forrestal Authority rejected an objection that was submitted by a land owner in June 2017 against the ownership of the land selected for the Katakolo development ERD. The submission of the objection prevented any substantial progress in the project and the procedures were stalled.
In May 2019, new regional government and local authorities were elected in Western Greece and the Municipality of Pyrgos respectively. The new authorities requested an extension in the duration of the public consultation that was in progress in respect with the ESIA. Finally, in December 2019, Western Greece's Regional Council expressed positive sentiment to the company's ESIA for the Katakolo FDP (the first regional positive sentiment ever for a drilling of a well in Western Greece) and so the public consultation concluded successfully. Energean now waits for the final approval to be granted by the Ministry of Environment and Energy.
Ioannina, Greece
Energean holds a 40% Working Interest in the Ioannina licence, operated by Repsol which holds the remaining 60%. During 2019, a 2D onshore seismic survey has been successfully completed with no delays related to the local community or any bureaucratic issues.
Montenegro
In Montenegro, there were no project delays or shutdowns during the reporting period.

Our Management Approach
Energean's focus is on discovering, developing and monetising gas in the Eastern Mediterranean to deliver value to all of our stakeholders and, to this end, we are currently at another transition point in our history, in which we are converting our historic success in growing reserves and resources, into growth in production and cash flows. Sustainability and ESG are at the core of this focus and, aligned with this, we distribute value both directly to the areas in which we operate as well as indirectly throughout our supply chain.
Energean's balanced portfolio of exploration, development and production assets, consists of operations in Israel, Greece and Montenegro. Once the Edison E&P transaction, and associated onward sale of the UK and Norwegian subsidiaries, is complete, we will add Egypt, Italy, Croatia and Malta to our Mediterranean, gas-focused portfolio. Our flagship project is the Karish and Tanin development, which will monetise more than 2.3 Tcf of gas resources with first production commencing in 1H 2021.
Our vision is to be the leading, sustainable, gas-focused and innovative E&P player in the Easter Mediterranean. We will deliver value to our stakeholders through our core strategic goals of optimising production, developing reserves, adding more hydrocarbons and portfolio integration, and by applying our strategic pillars of risk mitigation, operational excellence, effective project execution, disciplined capital allocation and ESG stewardship.
Core components of our investment case are:
- Low cost production, underpinning stable, long term cash flows
- Proven and experienced position as an offshore operator
- Strategic positioning in an industry hotspot, including the only FPSO in the Eastern Mediterranean
- A leading position in ESG and HSE, and transitionfuel-focused portfolio
- Experienced management team and independent Board with a successful track record of value creation
- World-classtechnical partners and strong financial backing
The hearty handshake and the CEOs' smiles: it's the dawn of a new era! Mathios Rigas, Energean, and Nicola Monti, Edison E&P, at the event hosted by Energean on July 10th 2019, for the acquisition of Edison E&P.
1. Optimising Production
We aim to optimise production from our existing low-cost production base, reducing per unit costs to grow operating and free cash flow. In 2019, and subject to the completion of the Edison E&P transaction, we delivered working interest production of 59.7 kboepd, of which 3.3 kboepd was produced by Energean.
2. Developing Reserves
We are focused on developing Israel's offshore gas resources and, during 2019, we drilled four deepwater wells with a best-in-class HSE record. Our flagship Karish project is at an advanced stage and, at year- end 2019, physical completion stood at 72%. The proposed acquisition of Edison E&P will add 239 mmboe of 2P reserves and, following completion of the transaction, we will being allocating capital to the most value accretive assets across the portfolio.
3. Adding More Hydrocarbons
We are highly selective in our approach to adding hydrocarbons, either through organic or inorganic means. The proposed acquisition of Edison E&P will increase 2P reserves to 580 MMboe, and in 2019 we discovered 25 bcm of gas and 34 MMbbl of liquids in Karish North. We were awarded four new licences offshore Israel and saw an uplift in 2P reserves and 2C resources in Greece, following upward revisions at Katakolo and Epsilon.
4. Portfolio integration
We successfully raised $865 MM in financing for the proposed acquisition of Edison E&P and agreed to sell Edison E&P's North Sea assets for $250 million of firm consideration plus up to $30 million of contingent consideration. Once the acquisition is complete, we will be focused on integrating the two businesses, Energean and Edison E&P, to create the leading independent E&P company in the Eastern Mediterranean. In 2019, we placed our Prinos assets in Greece under strategic review in order to better understand where to allocate capital and generate the best returns across our enlarged portfolio.

- transactional risk such as transactions or proposed appointments which do not make economic sense or which are opaque and difficult to understand;

Energean is an independent oil and gas exploration and production ("E&P") company focused on the exploration, development and production of oil and gas assets in the Eastern Mediterranean, including Greece, Israel and the Adriatic. The Energean Group's most significant development assets are located outside Israel's territorial waters, in the Israeli Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), where both the Karish and Tanin offshore gas fields are located.
The Tanin Lease area contains a sequence of undeveloped gas fields and exploration prospects in the Levantine Basin and is located north of Israel's EEZ approximately 110km offshore Israel while the Karish Lease area is located approximately 75km offshore Israel.
In recent years, the Israeli government has been working on legislation to eradicate the uncertainty surrounding application of local laws outside Israel's territorial waters, in the Israeli EEZ, where both the Karish and Tanin Leases are located.
Although the State of Israel, since its creation in 1948, has experienced different kind of organised violence, including non- state and one-sided as such categories are defined according to the Uppsala University Department of Peace and Conflict Research (UCDP), there is no active conflict contained to a region or designated area that is proximate to the Company's reserves.
Energean has no proven or probable reserves that are located in or near areas that are considered to be indigenous peoples' land.
Discussion of engagement processes and due diligence practices with respect to human rights, indigenous rights, and operation in areas of conflict is not applicable to the Company.
The percentage of (1) proved and (2) probable reserves in countries that have the 20 lowest rankings in Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index is zero.
Targets in 2020
- SUPPLY CHAIN: In 2020 the Supply Chain due diligence process will extend to include Human Rights assessments. Audits have been scheduled to be conducted to four (4) major contractors to monitor compliance with the respective contractual provisions related to modern slavery statement. Energean is planning to implement a code of conduct for suppliers, which among other objectives will seek to underline the importance of respecting the key principles of sustainability in the Supply Chain.
- TRAINING: Energean will also continue with training Energean staff and contractors in order to implement ourzero-tolerance approach towards modern slavery.
