The project also creates approximately 20 employment opportunities both on-site and through related off-site services, improved living standards and contribution to the production of 10 tons of agricultural crops per year, desalination of 3650 cubic meters of water annually, also, pumping of 7300 cubic meters of well water per year, generation of 70 megawatt-hours of clean energy, in addition, empower rural and remote communities with sustainability water source.

3. Volunteering Club: Belonging and positive impact

Aiming to engage our employees and strengthening their sense of belonging, the Volunteer Club activities has commenced as early as the CSR activities in ADCB.

Different activations are held year round in specific occasions where staff and their children are invited to take part. Employees not only contribute to creating a positive impact on society but also develop teamwork, leadership, and empathy. Volunteering provides then with meaningful opportunities to support causes they care about, while reinforcing the organization’s values and commitment to sustainable development.

Accordingly, ADCB’s employees have actively taken part in various initiatives, such as Ramadan box packing and distribution campaigns, Eid clothes, orphanage and hospital visits as well as preparing back to school supplies for deprived children. In 2025, the Volunteer club members traveled to Dahab to take actively part in cleaning the beach and sea water from plastic waste, as a new initiative to contribute to climate protection.
