Strategy connected to sustainable development.

UNOC’s corporate strategy resonates with the Sustainable Development Agenda 2015–2030. The sustainability narrative is grouped into clearer strategic themes.

01
SDG 1 · NO POVERTY

Creating value for Ugandans.

The source connects UNOC’s vision — operating across the petroleum value chain for the benefit of all Ugandans — with a direct contribution toward ending poverty.

SDG 9 · INDUSTRY & INFRASTRUCTURE

Infrastructure that enables growth.

Refinery, industrial parks, storage terminals and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline are cited as infrastructure with direct and significant links to industry, innovation and infrastructure.

10
SDG 10 · REDUCED INEQUALITIES

Opportunity and participation.

The strategy highlights skilled employment, local procurement and supplier development, alongside opportunities for women through business and strategic partnerships.

Responsible development.

UNOC’s HSE performance has strong linkages with sustainable cities and communities.

13
SDG 13 · CLIMATE ACTION

Environmental performance.

UNOC’s interventions toward enhanced HSE performance are also linked to climate action.

16/17
SDG 16 & 17 · INSTITUTIONS & PARTNERSHIPS

Governance and partnerships.

The strategy calls for good-practice principles, sustainable business practices and multi-stakeholder initiatives that strengthen buy-in and partnerships across the oil and gas value chain.

CORPORATE STRATEGY

Sustainability is part of how value is created.

The source does not present sustainability as a separate philanthropic programme. It links UNOC’s corporate objectives to infrastructure, employment, procurement, HSE performance, governance and strategic partnerships.
