Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank successfully mobilised and facilitated AED 20.3B (approximately $5.53B) in sustainable finance by the close of 2025, reinforcing its ambition to deploy AED 60B in sustainable financing by 2030.
This achievement underscores ADIB’s role as a reliable partner in sustainable finance, supporting various stakeholders in advancing climate initiatives and facilitating the energy transition within the UAE and beyond.
The bank has been instrumental in structuring and participating in numerous landmark sustainable finance transactions throughout the UAE and the region. This includes substantial project financings for renewable energy ventures and sustainability-linked facilities aimed at financial institutions, as well as debt capital market transactions in the sustainable sukuk space. These efforts cater to both banks and corporates seeking Sharia-compliant funding solutions.
ADIB’s activities also encompass a range of syndicated and bilateral financings that support solar energy projects, social finance initiatives, and sustainability-linked finance structures for prominent regional investment entities.
The bank’s notable performance in sustainable finance not only reflects robust market momentum but also its clear strategic commitment to integrating ESG principles into its financing activities.
Mobilising over AED 20B during the year is a significant milestone toward achieving the AED 60B target by 2030, consolidating ADIB’s status as a preeminent Islamic sustainable finance institution in the UAE and the wider region.
The bank’s sustainable finance framework continues to inform its approach to identifying, structuring and reporting on eligible green, social and sustainability-linked transactions.
