Contribution Activities in Various Countries

The INPEX Group is a corporation responsible for ensuring a stable supply of energy. We believe that building strong and trusted relationships with local communities in the areas in which we operate forms the basis of our social license to operate. In our Basic Policy on Social Contribution Activities, we state that we will invest in initiatives that contribute to the social (cultural, etc.) and economic development of the areas in which we operate. This policy is aligned with our management strategy. Social contribution investment is undertaken in the key areas of Environment, Education and Next-generation Development, Community Support, and Arts and Sports.
In FY2025, we contributed approximately 3 billion yen to social investment activities through these initiatives.

In Japan, we carry out social contribution activities aimed at addressing social issues and fostering the development of local communities through dialogue with stakeholders. These activities focus on the key areas of Environment, Education and Next-generation Development, Community Support, and Arts and Sports. The main initiatives undertaken in FY2025 are as follows:

Under the brand message "Energy for a brighter future" ("Taking on the Future with the Power of the Earth" in the Japanese version), we aim to create a society where everyone, regardless of disabilities, can thrive. We contribute to the promotion of sports for people with disabilities through our official partnership agreement with the Japanese Para-Sports Association, our sponsorship of the Deaf Beach Volleyball Association, and our sponsorship as a Total Support Member for the 25th Summer Deaflympics Tokyo 2025, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Deaflympics. Additionally, we support the Inclusive Education Program organized by the Japan Inclusive Football Federation. This program conveys the ingenuity and value of sports for people with disabilities to elementary and junior high school students through interactive, experiential lessons.

Our employees voluntarily contribute to a charitable giving program through which a portion of their pay is deducted for donations to NGOs and NPOs chosen through an annual employee vote, with the Company also donating matching sums of money. The beneficiaries selected engage in activities across three key areas of Environment, Education and Next-generation Development, and Community Support.

We sponsored the 94th Music Competition of Japan, which has propelled numerous promising musicians onto the world stage. We also sponsored LA FOLLE JOURNÉE TOKYO 2025, a musical event held mainly at the Tokyo International Forum.

Our Minamiaga Field Office employees team up with local junior high school students to plant seeds at roadside flower beds in the Shimokurose district of Agano City. In addition, our Nagaoka Field Office employees join with agricultural workers and organizations to pick up litter and maintain flower beds in the area around the Koshijihara Plant.

At the Naoetsu LNG Terminal, we respond to requests for educational field trips from the local community—such as government offices, residents, and businesses—and offer tours that explore the terminal's LNG tanks and other facilities. The tour includes a stop at the on-site INPEX MUSEUM, a small theater that screens a fascinating video presentation of the story of oil and natural gas—from its formation through to its use in our everyday lives. In FY2025, third graders from the local Yachiho Elementary School visited the terminal for a field trip. Employees also visited the school to give a lesson to sixth graders. Fourth graders from the local Kakizaki Elementary School and first-year students from Naoetsu Junior High School also visited the terminal for field trips. In addition, as active members of the local community, our employees also participate in local beautification activities. These activities include participating in beach cleanups organized by an environmental conservation group as well as picking up litter and mowing grass along roads near the terminal.

Through our social investment activities, INPEX Australia aim to contribute to the sustainable social and economic development of the communities in the areas in which we operate, which in turn supports many INPEX business objectives such as maintaining long-term, trusted and meaningful stakeholder relationships and a social license to operate within the broader community; enhancing our reputation and brand as a partner of choice; and attracting and retaining a skilled and diverse workforce who are proud to work for us.

As part of our broader social investment efforts, our voluntary community investment activities are guided by the INPEX Australia Community Investment Strategy, which outlines how we make contributions that support positive outcomes in our host communities. The Community Investment Strategy includes our framework for creating social impact, outlining our strategic priorities and response, stakeholders and activities, and the outcomes we wish to support across the themes of education and training, health and well-being, local business capacity building, community partner capacity building, and community connectivity and resilience. Additionally, we prioritize funding to support initiatives that benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, young people, local businesses, and broader communities in the areas in which we operate. In FY2025, we supported more than 60 community initiatives, ranging from small community grants to strategic partnerships with for-purpose organizations. The allocation of investments by key outcome area is shown in the figure below.

Each year, we continue to support community events and initiatives through sponsorship, and provide donations for important causes and disaster relief for impacted communities. We also offer in-kind support to community partners and their programs through employee volunteering, career mentoring, capacity building, and paid-for advertising and promotional opportunities.

We have continued our focus on developing and expanding strategic community partnerships, with the intention of creating meaningful and long-term positive impact in our host communities. We are also taking steps to strengthen the governance and outcomes measurement frameworks that underpin our community investment activities.

We are revising the Community Investment Strategy in FY2026 to ensure our approach remains aligned to INPEX Australia's strategic priorities and activities, alongside evolving community needs and expectations, so we can contribute to more targeted, meaningful, and sustainable outcomes.

Since FY2009, we have engaged in diverse activities at the Abadi LNG Project in Indonesia to support the sustainable growth of local communities surrounding the project site centered on the Tanimbar Islands. This includes efforts to preserve the environment and traditional culture and create economic opportunities. We identify the needs of local communities through dialogue with stakeholders, and we carry out activities that serve those needs according to the five focus areas (education; public health; economic improvement; environment; and strategic social contribution activities) of our Social Investment Strategy, developed with a medium- to long-term strategic outlook. Key efforts made in FY2025 are detailed below.

We provided scholarships to 30 undergraduate students and 2 lecturers working toward their doctorate degrees from Lelemuku Saumlaki University in the Tanimbar Islands as well as 98 undergraduate students and 2 lecturers working toward their doctorate degrees from Pattimura University in Ambon, Maluku.
We also held a writing contest for scholarship recipients from Pattimura University to improve their thinking and analysis skills regarding designated themes.
As part of our commitment toward improving the quality of education, we also supported the invigoration of local elementary schools and helped 13 high school students from Saumlaki participate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competitions.

We collaborated with local public health centers and governments to conduct programs such as nutrition awareness-raising activities; health checks for pregnant women, infants, and toddlers; and the provision of supplementary meals to undernourished children.
Furthermore, as the first step toward securing access to clean water, we supported the creation of community-based clean water management teams. This enables local communities to maintain and manage water storage and supply facilities independently.

In FY2025, we collaborated with local communities on sustainable agriculture. To help improve productivity, seeds and agricultural equipment were distributed to two farming groups eligible for support under our programs. Additionally, we provided training for local producers on processing bananas and cassava—the staple foods of local residents—into healthy snacks for sale.
We also supported the preservation of cultural value in local communities, particularly the production of Tanimbar ikat, a traditional fabric, and tifa Tanimbar, a traditional musical instrument.

We collaborated with the local government and NGOs to conduct mangrove tree planting activities. We also worked with local residents to conduct beach cleaning as well as collection and proper disposal of litter. Furthermore, we held a coloring contest in commemoration of World Environment Day to raise the environmental awareness of children.

As part of supporting the activities of local community groups in areas such as religion, education, sports, and youth development, we provide sponsorships and donations to these groups, striving to build good relationships with local communities. In FY2025, we also supported joint programs with SKK Migas in disaster relief activities in Sumatra.

In Abu Dhabi, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi—which we sponsor based on an agreement signed with the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through our subsidiary Japan Oil Development Co., Ltd. (JODCO)—opened in April 2025. To provide youths in Abu Dhabi with opportunities to develop their curiosity and imagination, JODCO has started inviting elementary and junior high school students to teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi and will continue with this initiative in the future.
In addition, to serve as a bridge for cultural exchange between Japan and the UAE, we have been participating in the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) since 2004, introducing the ancient Japanese tradition of falconry as well as Japanese traditional cultural activities such as sword-making, candy making, and tea ceremony.

Our subsidiary INPEX Norway Co., Ltd. has signed an agreement with the Munch Museum to sponsor the museum through our local subsidiary INPEX Idemitsu Norge AS (IIN). IIN has been a sponsor of the museum for more than 30 years since the days of IIN's predecessor, Idemitsu Petroleum Norge AS. Donations from IIN have contributed to realizing several major projects, including the extension and repair of the museum as well as the restoration of famous Norwegian artist Edvard Munch's masterpieces The Scream and Madonna.

In Kazakhstan, our subsidiary INPEX North Caspian Sea, Ltd. (INCS) is providing funding and other support through the Kashagan Project, in which it participates, for the development of educational, medical, cultural, and other infrastructure in the regions of Atyrau and Mangistau.

Furthermore, INCS is conducting the following social contribution activities as its own initiatives.

Firstly, in July 2025, neonatal medical equipment was donated to the Neonatal Medical Center in Atyrau in collaboration with the AYALA Charity Foundation. The center introduced two medical devices for non-invasive jaundice measurement in neonates, as well as six neonatal phototherapy lamps, with the aim of improving the quality of neonatal care.

As part of our human resource development efforts, we invited seven mid-level employees from KazMunayGas, the national operator of the oil and gas industry of Kazakhstan, to Japan in September 2025 for a two-week training program on CCS/CCUS. Professor Takeshi Tsuji from the Department of Systems Innovation, Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo served as the main lecturer. The program included lectures on CCS/CCUS, as well as worksite tours of multiple demonstration test sites, including our own. Through such human resource development, we are contributing to Kazakhstan's goal of carbon neutrality by 2060.

Since September 2025, we have also been partnering with the NPO Caravan of Knowledge, Kumon Institute of Education Co., Ltd., and Chevron Munaigas Inc. to implement a pilot project using the Kumon Method, an individualized learning method, for two elementary school classes in Astana to help improve the educational standards of Kazakhstan's citizens.

Through these initiatives, the INPEX Group is contributing to the development of local communities and improved welfare in Kazakhstan.

Since its establishment in March 1981, the INPEX Scholarship Foundation has been promoting mutual understanding, friendship, and goodwill between Japan and Indonesia, Australia, and the UAE through student exchanges. As of March 31, 2026, the Foundation has provided scholarships to 155 students from these three countries pursuing master's degrees in Japan, and 73 Japanese students studying in these countries. Many of the students are now contributing to friendship and goodwill between Japan and their home countries in the research fields they studied during their time abroad.
In FY2025, the Foundation also launched two programs to further promote exchange between high school and university students: an exchange student scholarship program for undergraduate students from overseas universities to study at Japanese universities, and an international youth exchange program, inviting high school students from Indonesia, Australia, and the UAE to Japan for exchanges with Japanese high school students.

The INPEX JODCO Foundation was established at the end of 2022 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of JODCO's business in Abu Dhabi. The Foundation conducts social contribution activities with a focus on the three areas of education, environment, and culture.

In the area of education, together with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, the Foundation supports the implementation of the Kumon Method for mathematics learning at elementary schools in Abu Dhabi. In the area of environment, based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) in FY2025, joint research is being conducted regarding carbon sequestration rates of mangrove ecosystems. An environmental education program has also been in place since FY2023, providing students—such as those from the Japanese School Abu Dhabi (JSAD)—with a program to experience mangrove planting.
Furthermore, in October 2025, when the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025 was held in Abu Dhabi, EAD and the Foundation—under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi—signed a MoU to advance the conservation of falcons and other raptor species and promote cultural collaboration between the UAE and Japan. The Foundation has started to install artificial falcon nests equipped with monitoring cameras in Japan to study breeding behavior, population dynamics, and habitat use of falcons.
In the area of culture, the Foundation has been implementing the UAE-Japan Falconer Friendship Program with the Emirates Falconers' Club since FY2023. In addition to providing falconry cultural experiences at the JSAD, the program promotes exchange between Japanese and UAE falconers by sending Japanese falconers to the UAE and hosting UAE falconers in Japan.
