Environmental
We are committed to full compliance with applicable national and international environmental regulations. Recognizing the fragility of the global ecosystem, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint by maintaining high operational and sustainability standards.
This commitment extends across our value chain, and we expect our suppliers and partners to uphold the same environmental principles and responsibilities.

Environmental
We acknowledge the environmental impact of our carbon footprint and are actively working toward supporting the global energy transition. This includes diversifying our portfolio and gradually reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based activities.

Today, we are committed to progressively reducing the proportion of coal in our portfolio while exploring more sustainable and diversified opportunities.
