We, JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corporation (NOEX), as a member of JX Group, whose mission statement is to contribute to the development of a sustainable economy and society through innovation in the areas of energy, resources and materials, are undertaking oil and gas exploration and production operations as one of the core businesses of JX Group.

We, as a member of the society, are committed to providing oil and gas for the society’s needs in a manner that avoids injuries and illnesses to our employees, contractors and neighbours while acting in harmony with the environment of the Earth.

We implement this policy by conducting the following strategies:

• Ensuring that Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) considerations are given prevailing status over our other business considerations.
• Ensuring compliance with all relevant legislations and other requirements to which we subscribe.
• Applying a systematic approach to HSE management to achieve continual HSE performance improvement including setting strict HSE objectives and performing regular audits and reviews.
• Designing our workplaces to minimise the risks to personnel and developing work practices to further reduce the risks as low as reasonably practicable.
• Encouraging the use of the best available technology to reduce the impact of our operations to the environment, particularly with regard to the efficient use of energy and materials, the minimisation of waste and the prevention of pollution.
• Ensuring our personnel to be competent for their tasks and further providing HSE training and awareness programmes to manage HSE risks.
• Developing communication channels to ensure the HSE policy and its objectives are understood by all our personnel, contractors and customers, and to actively seek their input and feedback.

The President of NOEX is accountable for ensuring the HSE policy is implemented and that its effectiveness is reviewed annually.

All personnel and contractors of NOEX Group Companies in all areas of the activities under NOEX operational control are responsible for applying the HSE Policy.
