Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) has mobilised AED 20.3 billion (approximately $5.5 billion) in sustainable finance by the end of 2025, marking a significant step forward in its commitment to responsible and impact-driven investment. This progress puts the bank firmly on track to achieve its long-term target of AED 60 billion ($16.3 billion) in sustainable finance by 2030.
The milestone highlights ADIB’s growing role in advancing Sharia-compliant ESG financing across the Middle East, as regional economies continue to prioritise climate action and economic diversification. Increasing demand from governments, corporates, and financial institutions has positioned the bank as a key partner in supporting sustainable investments and addressing evolving regulatory expectations.
In 2025, ADIB’s sustainable finance activities spanned multiple sectors, reflecting the expanding scope of ESG investments. The bank played a major role in financing large-scale renewable energy projects, particularly solar initiatives that are central to the UAE’s clean energy strategy. At the same time, it supported sustainability-linked financing for corporates and financial institutions, along with participation in sustainable sukuk issuances aligned with global standards.
Beyond environmental initiatives, ADIB also contributed to social impact projects through syndicated and bilateral financing. These transactions covered sectors such as real estate, healthcare, and financial services, indicating a shift toward more integrated ESG financing models rather than isolated green investments.
The growing adoption of sustainable sukuk further underscores the importance of Islamic finance in the global sustainability landscape. By combining faith-based financial principles with international ESG frameworks, ADIB continues to strengthen its position as a leading player in financing the energy transition.
With strong momentum achieved in 2025, ADIB is well-positioned to meet — and potentially exceed — its 2030 sustainable finance goal, reinforcing its role in building a more sustainable and resilient financial ecosystem in the region.
