ESG 2023 - Basic indicators and Future directions of development

Sustainable development of NIS

  • Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present time, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.1 In this area, NIS is guided by the global goals of UN2, and recognizes the contribution to the achievement of 12 out of 17 goals.
  • The concept of sustainable development has also been implemented in the Vision and all business processes of NIS3, and it represents a strategic commitment and a fundamental practice that is constantly being perfected.
  • In 2010, the reporting process was established through the Sustainable Development Report of NIS, in accordance with the most widespread methodology in this area - GRI.4. So far, 13 consecutive Sustainable Development Reports verified by an independent auditor have been published, thus transparently reporting on key projects, achievements, and indicators in the field of sustainable development.
  • The published Sustainable Development Report of NIS for 2022 has been fully harmonized with GRI Standard 11 (sectoral GRI standard for the oil and gas industry), which entered into force on 1 January 2023.
  1. Most often, the definition of the concept of Sustainable Development given by the World Commission on Environment and Development at the UN (the so-called Brundtland Commission).
  2. Global goals were adopted by the UN in 2015 as a universal call for action by all member states to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all people - by 2030 at the latest.
  3. Company vision: NIS will be a recognized leader of the Balkan region in its sector, following the dynamics of sustainable development and efficiency increasing, expressing a high level of social and environmental responsibility, as well as modern standards of customer service.
  4. GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) - an international non-profit organization, established in 1997 with the aim of achieving the highest quality in corporate reporting on sustainable development. GRI provides the most widespread global reporting standards on sustainable development

ESG of NIS

ENVIRONMENTAL

  • ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) - represents a set of criteria and factors in the field of environment, social issues, and corporate governance.

The ESG can be seen as a comprehensive framework that combines the most important issues in the process of implementing sustainable development of NIS.

  • The slide highlights a cross-functionaloverview of the contribution of NIS to the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals, for each of the aspects within the ESG concept.
  • The UN Sustainable Development Goals under number 5, 6, 8, 11, and 12 contribute within several ESG aspects.
