Globalized Governance Upgrades and International ESG Recognition

In terms of governance, the Group further upgraded its global operations management. Our operations headquarters has been relocated to Dubai, the human resources center has been established in Egypt, a procurement center has been set up in India, and a financial resources center has been established in Hong Kong, China, while Mainland China remained our core base for technology and talent. Together, these centers form a globally integrated operations network. We optimized our compliance management system through digital tools, enhancing both operational efficiency and risk control capabilities. The structure of the Group’s Board of Directors was further optimized by the addition of a female director who also serves as Chair of the ESG Committee, strengthening our governance framework. In recognition of our ESG practices, the Group was included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2024, the only oilfield services company in China been selected.

Driving Low-Carbon Transformation Through Technological Innovation

Green development is a core component of Anton’s strategy. We drive emission reduction for both our own operations and those of our clients through technological innovation. While rapidly expanding our global business, we achieved a 2.8% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per unit of revenue compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, through the application of precision engineering technologies, natural gas purification treatment, and distributed CCUS services, we helped our clients reduce carbon emissions by approximately 145,000 tonnes. As a technology-driven enterprise, Anton continues to promote industrial upgrading and launched a series of new solutions, including the “Oil & Gas Field Development Efficiency Solutions,” the “Natural Gas Utilization Efficiency Solutions,” the “AI Enabled Oil & Gas Development,” and the "Oil & Gas Market Place" solutions. We are committed to becoming both an “Oil and Gas Resources Efficiency Enhancement Company” and “Marginal Oil and Gas Resources Development Company,” leveraging technology to drive comprehensive efficiency improvements and promote low-carbon, green development across the industry.

Fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility and Sharing Development Outcomes

During the year, we launched a global talent recruitment program, attracting outstanding global leaders and young talents. By the end of 2024, Anton’s global workforce reached 6,754 employees, with foreign employees accounting for 46.3%. We are committed to promoting equality, openness, cultural integration, and employee care in a diverse work environment, valuing both the health and career development of every employee. Through our "Oil Mates" social media platform, we continued to provide a wide range of professional knowledge and skills training, benefiting industry-wide talent development. We earned ISO 9001 certification and received the "DAMA Data Governance Best Practice Award," positioning ourselves at the forefront of industry quality management. At the same time, we embedded ESG standards deeply into supply chain management and promoted community coprosperity through localized operations. We also continued to actively participate in community building and philanthropy, fulfilling our corporate social responsibility through concrete actions.

Every step of Anton’s growth has been the result of the collective wisdom and efforts of all our employees and the strong support of our global partners. Looking ahead, we will continue to use technological innovation as an engine to deepen the integration of AI in oil and gas development, establish new benchmarks for zero-carbon technologies, further optimize global collaboration mechanisms, and strengthen cross-regional resource integration. Anton is committed to empowering collaboration with all partners and jointly writing a new chapter for the sustainable development of the global energy industry.
