Mobilising sustainable capital
As momentum for sustainable finance grows within the UAE and the broader GCC
region, ADCB is strategically positioned to play a crucial role in mobilising capital to
support the region’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
In November 2023, the bank joined the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a group of over 130
leading global banks committed to financing climate action to transition the real
eocnomy to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
To support this strategic initiative, the bank has more than tripled its sustainable finance
commitment to Dh125 billion ($34 billion) by 2030, while setting a shorter-term target
of Dh50 billion ($14 billion) by 2025. ADCB's focus on sustainable banking has been
recognised by ESG ratings agencies such as Sustainalytics, which has rated ADCB as the
highest-ranked diversified bank in the region for ESG.

To support corporate and investment banking group clients on their transition to net
zero, ADCB is expanding its suite of sustainable products and services beyond lending
and capital markets solutions.
Most recently, the bank introduced Mastercard’s Carbon Calculator, which provides
clients with the estimated carbon footprint of spending made on their ADCB corporate
cards. This followed the launch of a Sustainable Call Account, where deposited client
funds are allocated to sustainable and green bonds within ADCB's treasury investment
portfolio.
A commitment to growth
