Cairo, Egypt – As part of its long-term sustainability strategy, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank – Egypt announced the launch of its Corporate Carbon Footprint Calculator service, becoming the first bank in Egypt to introduce this offering. The new service is designed to support corporate clients in accelerating their transition toward more sustainable business practices and reducing their carbon footprint, further reinforcing the Bank’s commitment to sustainable finance.
The initiative is launched through a strategic partnership with Masader, a leading sustainability and climate advisory firm, and is powered by Thamaneya, Masader’s advanced digital sustainability platform.

The solution aligns with both local and international climate policies aimed at achieving net-zero emissions.
This milestone strengthens ADCB Egypt’s sustainability roadmap in line with international climate finance frameworks, sustainable finance principles, and emerging regulatory standards. It also reflects the Bank’s commitment to high-quality measurement of financed emissions and data-driven climate transition planning, ensuring alignment with net-zero pathways across key economic sectors.
The Thamaneya Sustainability Platform enables reliable, auditable collection, analysis, and verification of emissions data, supporting both the Bank and its clients in implementing effective climate transition strategies.
Commenting on the launch, Ihab ElSewerky, Managing Director and CEO of ADCB Egypt, stated: “Our strategic partnership with Masader reflects ADCB Egypt’s ongoing commitment to supporting the transition toward a sustainable economy and enhancing institutional readiness to address climate challenges. We are keen to provide innovative solutions that enable our clients to measure and manage their carbon footprint efficiently, supporting informed sustainability decisions through accurate data and advanced analytical tools.”

This new partnership marks an important step in expanding our climate-related services and reinforces our commitment to Egypt Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.”
ElSewerky concluded by emphasizing that the Bank will continue strengthening its sustainability and climate capabilities and building strategic partnerships with leading institutions to deliver practical solutions that enhance environmental performance and long-term competitiveness.
