For the fifth consecutive year, the report reflects the bank’s continuous commitment to transparency and the development of the disclosure system. Euromoney institution had granted the bank the “Best Bank for Sustainability” award for the year 2025 in recognition of its efforts and commitment to its plan to implement sustainability.

The report reflects the progress achieved by the bank in integrating sustainability across various aspects of its business, not only through sustainable financing and climate risk management, but also at the level of its operational processes, as the percentage of the bank’s premises holding the EDGE certification for green buildings rose to 40% of its total branch network in addition to its main headquarters, in a step that enhances resource use efficiency and supports the bank’s targets in reducing its environmental footprint.
The report also addresses the progress achieved by the bank in the field of climate risk management, including expanding the scope of measuring financed emissions to encompass all carbon-intensive sectors within the corporate and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) portfolio, which supports enhancing the bank’s capabilities in assessing and managing risks associated with climate change and preparing for future requirements of disclosure and sustainability.
Within the framework of its efforts to support the transition toward a more sustainable economy, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank – Egypt launched the Carbon Footprint Calculator, which is a digital tool that allows individuals and companies to measure their carbon footprint and track their environmental impact, contributing to raising awareness and promoting responsible practices.
The report likewise reflects the bank’s continuous commitment to enhancing transparency and the quality of disclosure, through expanding the scope of declared sustainability indicators, developing mechanisms for assessing impacts, risks, and opportunities, and enhancing climate-related disclosures in line with best international practices.
Through this report, ADCB-Egypt reaffirms its commitment to executing its sustainability priorities.
