  Ethics and Compliance Network

  Spain

  Moeve has established the Ethics & Compliance Network (ECN), a structured initiative designed to embed ethical values across the organisation. Comprising over 70 compliance ambassadors, the network acts as a key channel for promoting integrity, reinforcing compliance messages, and ensuring ethical concerns are addressed at all levels.

  These ambassadors serve as listening points within the company, fostering a culture where employees feel empowered to raise ethical issues. Through ongoing engagement, they promote awareness of compliance policies and reinforce the principle that 'We Are All Compliance'. The ECN was a focal point of Ethics Day, where Moeve recognised outstanding contributions through the Compliance Awards 2024.

  Moeve’s broader ethics and compliance framework is anchored in its Code of Ethics and Conduct, which applies to employees, subsidiaries, and business partners. Ethical commitments are integrated into employee contracts, mandatory training, and supplier agreements. The organisation also maintains a zero-tolerance policy for violations, ensuring accountability through its Integrity Channel, a confidential and anonymous reporting system aligned with Law 2/2023 on Whistleblower Protection.

  To strengthen ethical awareness, Moeve conducts Compliance Talks, workshops, and continuous training. Its compliance management systems are externally audited and certified under ISO 37001 for anti-bribery and UNE 19601 for criminal compliance.

  The Ethics & Compliance Network plays a pivotal role in reinforcing Moeve’s commitment to integrity, ensuring compliance remains at the heart of its corporate culture.

  Double materiality in Latin America

  Colombia

  In sustainability reporting, ‘materiality’ is the process used by organisations to prioritise sustainability issues, with ‘double materiality’ a mechanism to prioritise issues that are relevant to the company from either an impact or financial perspective or both.

  Although the application of double materiality methodology is not yet mandatory for industries operating in Latin America, being linked to the value chains of European companies, or the good practice of monitoring trends in sustainability management and reporting, means that companies should start to adopt this approach early when defining their ESG priorities.

  Taking into consideration this methodology, the materiality assessment of Ecopetrol has been developed in four steps:

  1. Update of the company's stakeholders. This was carried out with the objective of determining the impact materiality.
  2. Analysis of the information from internal and external sources to identify the actual or potential impacts that Ecopetrol generates or could generate on the environment and/or society, as well as the risks and opportunities that the environment presents and that have or could have an impact on the company's ability to generate economic value.
  3. Selection of material issues. Based on the impacts, risks and opportunities identified, 14 ESG issues were selected and defined as potentially material for Ecopetrol (see below), which were validated with different areas of the company.
  4. Evaluation of the issues that were identified. This evaluation was carried out from the perspectives of financial materiality and impact materiality.

  In addition, an analysis was developed to determine the relationship between the identified elements, highlighting the importance of managing the elements in an integrated manner.

  The SGE Methodology for LNG cargo

  Singapore

  QatarEnergy and Chevron have partnered with Pavilion Energy to create a Statement of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (SGE) Methodology. The initiative is one of the first to develop and publish a methodology specifically to quantify the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with a delivered liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo.

  The SGE Methodology provides measurement, reporting, and verification methodology which compliments common GHG reporting processes to deliver a consistent, verified SGE for each delivered LNG cargo. The SGE Methodology covers operational emissions associated with all life cycle stages from production wellhead to the delivery point, including an incoming ballast voyage and in-port emissions for shipping.

  In September 2022, Chevron safely delivered its first shipment of offset-paired LNG cargo. In May 2023, QatarEnergy delivered its first LNG cargo paired with an SGE to Pavillion Energy.

  Aligning industry association membership with the Paris Agreement

  Global

  As part of its commitment to transparency on climate action, OMV intends to report not only on its own position and action on climate change but also on the position of industry associations in which OMV is a member.

  OMV established a review process in early 2020 to ensure that the main associations in which OMV is a member also support the Paris Agreement. In the first paper in 2020, twelve key industry association memberships were reviewed. In 2021, 16 association were reviewed, and the scope of the review was expanded to cover not just support of the Paris Agreement, but also support of the EU climate targets and the World Bank's 'Zero routine flaring by 2030' initiative. OMV is continuously monitoring this issue and will continue to report on it annually going forward.

  In cases of misalignment, especially partial misalignment, OMV will first advocate for changes in the association's position. Where OMV's position and an association's position continue to fail to align, OMV will reassess its membership. If OMV is not able to influence the association to adopt a more aligned position on a highly material issue, it will consider ending the participation or membership.
