EAPC Employees Participate in Sea Turtle Nesting Conservation Effort! For the second consecutive year, EAPC employees, in collaboration with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, are participating in a volunteer initiative to identify and protect sea turtle nests. Every dawn from May to August, during the critical spawning season, our dedicated volunteers meticulously survey the beaches stretching from EAPC's facilities to Ashkelon National Park. Sea turtles are critically endangered worldwide. During the spawning season, they come ashore to dig nests, lay eggs, and then return to the sea. The dedicated efforts of our employees aid the Nature and Parks Authority inspectors in locating and safeguarding these vital nests.

As part of EAPC's commitment to the community and the people of Eilat, we were pleased to host Eilat residents! During the meeting, EAPC CEO, Izik Levy, presented the company's activities, EAPC's efforts to protect the environment, and the company's emergency readiness. This was followed by an open conversation. EAPC advocates for open and continuous dialogue with the residents of Eilat and will continue to do so.

Today, Erez Halfon, our Chairman, participated in the National Energy Conference hosted by the Energy and Environment Institute at the Hilton Hotel in Tel Aviv. During the conference, Halfon addressed various topics, including EAPC's handling of the challenges posed by the war despite the constraints it faced. Since the outbreak of the war, in addition to the dedicated efforts of EAPC's employees to ensure continuous energy supply to the citizens of Israel amidst missile attacks, the company mobilized to fulfill all government ministry demands. EAPC remains committed to operating and ensuring a continuous energy supply throughout the year, both in routine and emergency situations. Halfon also highlighted that the war underscored the irreplaceable role of EAPC in the country's energy economy. He cautioned against imposing irresponsible restrictions, as they pose a significant risk to Israel's energy security. Read more >>>

We are proud to present EAPC's Corporate Responsibility and Sustainable Development Report for 2022. This marks our second report, offering a comprehensive overview of our activities to all stakeholders, in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. EAPC remains steadfast as Israel's energy gateway, committed to safeguarding national energy security. As a leading energy infrastructure company, we recognize our potential impact on various environmental and social issues. Throughout the past year, we continued to integrate and prioritize corporate responsibility at EAPC, emphasizing our dedication to safety and environmental stewardship. Key highlights of EAPC's corporate responsibility efforts in 2022 include pioneering initiatives such as establishing a system to capture V.O.C from ships at sea and transferring it to onshore processing facilities. Our commitment to environmental protection is further demonstrated through the implementation of monitoring stations, ensuring minimum daily and annual emissions from our infrastructure. Additionally, we've embraced environmental and technological innovation, utilizing a mobile camera to monitor volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and employing advanced meteorological systems to analyze odor complaints. Moreover, we've championed critical infrastructure projects, such as the installation of optic fibers along transmission lines. Transparency and engagement remain paramount, evidenced by the fourteen public meetings held to enhance understanding of our operations. Furthermore, our dedication to preparedness is underscored by conducting 175 emergency drills for our employees, all of whom have pledged to uphold our code of ethics.  Additionally, we're proud to have recruited and supported three employees with disabilities, furthering our commitment to diversity and inclusion. Amidst the ongoing "Swords of Iron" War, thrust upon us by a horrific terrorist attack from the Gaza Strip, our resilient employees at EAPC have continued to fulfill their duties amidst perilous missile strikes, risking their lives to safeguard Israel's energy security. Our thoughts are with the families of the hostages, and we fervently hope for their swift and safe return. We also extend our deepest sympathies to the families of those who have been murdered and fallen – may their souls rest in peace. To the injured, we wish a speedy and full recovery. Together, we remain steadfast in our commitment to corporate responsibility, sustainable development, and the security of Israel and its Residents. For the full ESG report -

Tomorrow, we join the global celebration of International Women's Day, a day that stands as a powerful symbol of our collective commitment to achieving gender equality and fostering diversity. At EAPC, we have set a clear goal: to pave the way for the next generation of women within our organization and those who will join us in the future. We recognize the profound importance of promoting and empowering women across all fields of activity, particularly those traditionally dominated by men. In the energy industry, a sector historically characterized by a male majority, EAPC acknowledges the need for change. In recent years, we have implemented policies favoring women in our recruitment efforts and internal organizational mobility, actively working towards a more inclusive and diverse workforce. International Women's Day provides us with a valuable opportunity to express our gratitude to every woman contributing to EAPC's success. We appreciate and celebrate their hard work, inspiration, talent, and professionalism. Together, we are shaping a workplace where every individual, regardless of gender, can thrive and contribute to our shared success.
