At AD Ports Group, sustainability guides all facets of our operations.
We deeply care for the environment – onshore and offshore. Our efforts are aligned with Abu Dhabi regulatory authorities, and national and international rules and regulations. Back in 2011, we were accredited with ISO 14001:2004, the international standard for environmental management systems. We are now accredited with the latest ISO standards for environmental management systems and for occupational safety and health, ISO-14001:2015 and ISO 45001: 2018, respectively.
As an active participant in green port initiatives, AD Ports Group systematically looks for ways to make our operations more environmentally sustainable.
We are guided by our commitment to the people of Abu Dhabi, the GCC and the world. AD Ports Group is one of the biggest drivers of non-oil-related economic growth in Abu Dhabi. In 2020, our Group generated 21% of all non-oil GDP in the Emirate, the biggest single contribution of any company.
We are proud of our role in supporting Abu Dhabi’s sustainable economic growth and we actively look for new ways each year to enhance regional quality of life through our actions.

As part of the HSE Management system, AD Ports Group had devised a waste management strategy and plan back in 2011. The plan mandates a waste management hierarchy of ‘Avoid, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Dispose’. We undertake periodic internal reviews to ensure that the plan is implemented across our operations and jurisdictions to integrate circularity.
