Our work with ADNOC is an example of how energy companies can partner with environmental regulators to achieve progress. This partnership has led to notable achievements in protecting Abu Dhabis environment and biodiversity, such as the largest marine environmental baseline surveys undertaken in Abu Dhabi and the planting of 2.5 million mangrove seeds in support of the UAEs target of 100 million mangrove plantations by 2030, and more as part of the commitment towards the Abu Dhabi Climate Change Strategy. ADNOC shares our goal of preserving the UAEs natural heritage, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and has advanced its sustainability agenda accordingly. This is exemplified by ADNOCs recent win of the Inaugural Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Environmental Award which focuses on best practices or pioneering activities in the field of environment and sustainable development. Together, we will continue to create a positive impact through conservation efforts, thereby helping to foster a more sustainable future. H.E.
