Sustainability

Vision and Strategy

We at NewMed Energy strive to conduct ourselves with integrity, reliability, mutual respect and responsibility, and to be a leader and a force for innovation and positive change in the areas of our operations. We believe that we can, through our operations, effect meaningful and material improvements in the environment, in air quality and climate, in the reliability and security of energy, and in linkages with stakeholder in the Middle East and beyond.

We strictly adhere to an ethical business culture and believe that our strengths lie in the combination of our value-based approach together with a management strategy which drives the initiation, identification and promotion of business opportunities. Enterprise, professionalism, persistence and transparency are key values at NewMed Energy, which have been tempered by a track record of success and achievements, and a unique partnership and inclusiveness with our employees and stakeholders, including customers, investors, regulators, NGOs, and communities.

Yossi Abu, NewMed Energy CEO: "Our operations are a significant and first-rate economic growth engine for the State of Israel, in a manner which positively impacts the economy, environment, and society. NewMed Energy's operations have led, and continue to lead, to a dramatic decrease in pollutant emissions and greenhouse gases in Israel and in other countries in which we market natural gas, and they also help in increasing the GDP, reducing import dependency, increasing energy security, and strengthening our relationships with other countries in the Middle East, including Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and more. These operations are done in line with our long-term vision with respect to promoting sustainability values as part of NewMed Energy's business activity."

In the coming years, the natural gas that we market will continue to play a key role in the Government of Israel's plans to phase out power generation with polluting coal, and will help to reduce emissions in export markets with which we work. Accordingly, we are continuing to invest in the Partnership's natural gas assets, and promoting projects that increase and expedite the displacement of polluting fuels with natural gas, thus facilitating the energy transition. We promote power generation by natural gas and renewable energies, increase of industrial utilization of natural gas instead of fuel oil and diesel, and implementation of natural gas in public transportation, trucks, new residential neighborhoods, and more, instead of the petroleum-based fuels which are currently used.

Concurrently, we are working to expand and diversify our business portfolio by expanding operations in alternative energies, and exploring new investment channels in energy segments whose production does not involve emission of pollutants or greenhouse gases. We are focusing on reducing the impact of the operations on the environment and aiming for net-zero carbon emissions, including investing in renewable energies and advanced technologies in the energy field.
