EGAS Sustainable Development Strategy

Energy security, decarbonisation and shared prosperity — how EGAS supports Egypt Vision 2030 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainable development

Gas as a bridge — and a responsibility

Natural gas powers Egypt's growth today while enabling the transition to a lower-carbon energy system. Our strategy is to deliver both — reliably, safely and responsibly.

The EGAS Sustainable Development Strategy translates national priorities into commitments across the natural gas value chain. It rests on a secure and affordable energy supply, measurable decarbonisation of our operations, protection of the environments in which we work, and shared prosperity for the communities and workforce that make our industry possible.

The strategy applies to EGAS, its subsidiaries and its joint ventures with international partners, and is embedded in investment decisions, operating standards and performance reviews. We report on our progress every year.

Strategic pillars

Six pillars, one integrated strategy

Each pillar has an owner, measurable objectives and a dedicated programme of work across EGAS and its joint ventures.

Safe & responsible operations

Integrated HSE management systems with a goal of zero harm to people and the environment.

Climate & emissions

Ending routine flaring, abating methane and improving energy efficiency across our assets.

Energy security & transition

Reliable gas for homes, industry and power, while preparing for renewables, hydrogen and cleaner transport.

Environmental protection

Safeguarding biodiversity, seas, water resources and land around our operations.

Shared prosperity

Energy access, local content, Egyptian talent and community programmes.

Governance & transparency

Clear accountability, integrity and open disclosure of our performance.

Aligned with national and global goals

Egypt Vision 2030

Delivering the energy pillar of the national agenda

Egypt's Sustainable Development Strategy: Vision 2030 calls for a secure, efficient and diversified energy sector that supports inclusive growth. EGAS contributes by securing domestic supply, extending gas to homes and industry, developing Egypt's role as a regional energy hub and reducing the environmental footprint of the sector.

Our vision & mission

UN Sustainable Development Goals

Contributing where our impact is greatest

Our programmes contribute most directly to SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production), SDG 13 (climate action) and SDG 14 (life below water), supported by partnerships under SDG 17.

Climate commitments

Supporting Egypt's climate agenda

Our emissions programmes support Egypt's National Climate Change Strategy 2050 and the momentum created when Egypt hosted COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh in 2022, with a focus on flaring, methane and energy efficiency in the oil and gas sector.
