INTRODUCTION
ADNOC uses this third-party (supplier) questionnaire to effectively assess and collect information on how
they manage business continuity. This is due to the implications of immediate disruption costs and longterm consequences to ADNOC confidence and reputation that may arise from failure to deliver minimum
business operations (ADNOC mandate to the Government) during any major disruptions or crisis. This is
also part of ADNOC's 2030 growth strategy of ensuring supply chain continuity during any major
disruptions and in compliance with NCEMA-7000 requirements. This is also in alignment with the
requirement of UAE Federal Decree-Law No. (2) of (Article 19) that makes it mandatory for private sector
in UAE to have BCM program in place. This is to ascertain that provision and implementation of basic
services in the event of an emergency, a crisis, or a disaster is ensured, according to the standards adopted
by the Authority.
II.
