Nature-based solutions are part of our approach to managing environmental impacts. Our tree-planting initiatives align with national and global programs, including the UAE Plant the Emirates program and the World Economic Forum’s One Billion Trees Initiative, and focus on mangroves, ghaf trees and date palms. Mangroves In support of the UAE’s goal of planting 100 million mangroves by 2030, ADNOC made a commitment to plant 10 million mangroves by 2030. We have already planted more than 5 million, including 2.5 million mangroves in 2025 alone. This milestone brings us more than halfway to our 2030 target. In 2025, ADNOC enhanced planting efficiency through the use of advanced drone technologies, including hybrid electric drones supported by AI-enabled optimization of flight and planting patterns, enabling more precise, site- specific deployment and monitoring. ADNOC also uses monitoring tools to assess mangrove health and restoration progress. The program is supported by stakeholder engagement, with participation from employees, students and community members. In 2025, over 1,000 volunteers contributed more than 5,000 hours to mangrove restoration activities, bringing the total number of volunteers to more than 6,000 since the program started. Nature-based solutions DELIVERY IN ACTION ADNOC also received recognition from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MoCCAE) for its contribution to mangrove planting efforts. In collaboration with the EAD, we hosted the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) mangrove specialist group red list assessment workshop, bringing together over 50 global and regional scientists to assess the status of 72 mangrove species and inform conservation priorities. Coral reefs ADNOC collaborated with Fujairah Environment Authority (FEA), MoCCAE and community stakeholders to implement a large - scale coral restoration initiative along the UAE’s east coast in the Dibba coastal area. Launched in 2023 at a site designated by the FEA, the initiative has cultivated 1.5 million coral colonies across approximately 300,000 m², supported by advanced marine biology techniques and a two year post planting monitoring program. Visual assessments indicate positive environmental outcomes, including revitalized reef habitats, enhanced marine biodiversity and healthier fish populations. At ADNOC’s Hail and Ghasha development, we deployed 40 artificial coral reef structures to support marine habitat creation and contribute to local coral and fish populations.
