Extensive progress was achieved by TAQA during 2021 toward harmonizing incident reporting across the operating companies in each of our business lines, with a view to expanding Group-wide monitoring and management of HSE key performance indicators (KPIs).

TAQA is committed to being an active member in the UAE’s emissions reduction journey, including the national net-zero by 2050 strategic initiative. In 2021, we participated in UAE government climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target-setting mechanisms, such as the Abu Dhabi Climate Change Task Force, the Government Accelerator Program, the High- Level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE) and COP26.
TAQA embarked on an extensive global review of our environmental strategy, including our historic and current GHG measurement guidance, reporting tools and emissions baselines that also informed the development of TAQA’s global environmental strategy and TAQA’s Group strategy, covering:
-
Global environmental reviews and gap analyses of the Group’s environmental management system and their ISO14001 certification
-
TAQA’s GHG emissions baseline and measurement approach of each operating companies’ contribution to the Group’s emissions setting and our energy efficiency roadmap
TAQA GHG emissions reporting tool used by all operating companies and non-operated companies captures data on scope 1 and scope 2 emissions (e.g. direct emissions from our primary production, generation or distribution activities and our emissions associated with the electricity we purchase). This tool is intended to be extended over time to include a more diverse range of environmental KPIs and definitions.
