"Abu Dhabi’s environmental progress is built on a clear conviction: that long-horizon vision and rigorous, measurable action are inseparable. ADNOC’s approach in 2025, achieving zero freshwater withdrawal across operations, advancing large-scale mangrove restoration and strengthening biodiversity stewardship, demonstrates how environmental responsibility can be embedded across complex industrial operations while supporting continued economic growth. This progress reflects the value of strong partnerships between regulators and industry. Through its ongoing collaboration with EAD, ADNOC continues to align operational innovation with Abu Dhabi’s science-led environmental framework, translating environmental commitments into measurable outcomes. Such efforts contribute to strengthening ecosystem resilience across the emirate and support our shared responsibility to safeguard the UAE’s natural heritage for future generations." H.E.
