Our Strategy<\/h2>\n
\n

In 2022, AD Ports Group delivered a remarkable growth story during a transformational year, which included significant global expansion and record results. As a result, the Group has established itself as a regional champion and will continue to focus on scaling up its world-class capabilities.<\/p>\n

The Group made two notable acquisitions in 2022: Global Feeder Shipping (GFS), a container shipping company operating 20 services in emerging markets globally, and Noatum, a leading global logistics platform with a presence in 26 countries.<\/p>\n

AD Ports Group\u2019s unique ecosystem is composed of five vertically integrated and synergistic clusters, which form a resilient trade community united by strong partnerships and provides strategic access to the UAE, positioning Abu Dhabi as an elite trade hub that serves the world.<\/p>\n

Around 75% of the Group\u2019s revenue is underpinned by a long-term growth strategy, which combines a de-risked approach with mixed operating models and complementary growth drivers to ensure resilient expansion throughout economic and industry cycles. Additionally, its well-balanced capital structure and solid financial position are reflected in the A+ investment grade credit ratings.<\/p>\n

Sustainability<\/h2>\n \n
\n

At AD Ports Group, sustainability guides all facets of our operations.<\/p>\n

We deeply care for the environment \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

As an active participant in green port initiatives, AD Ports Group systematically looks for ways to make our operations more environmentally sustainable.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We are proud of our role in supporting Abu Dhabi\u2019s sustainable economic growth and we actively look for new\u00a0ways each year to enhance regional quality of life through our actions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

      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 \u2018Avoid, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Dispose\u2019. We undertake periodic internal reviews to ensure that the plan is implemented across our operations and jurisdictions to integrate circularity.<\/p>\n \n

        Our People<\/h2>\n
        \n

        At AD Ports Group, we take pride in helping employees reach their full potential, knowing that our growth depends on their growth.<\/p>\n

        In the United Arab Emirates and across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, the AD Ports Group is a leader in workplace health, safety, and employee development. As of the end of 2021, the Group had 2,533 full-time employees, who are known for their loyalty and commitment to excellence.<\/p>\n

        Such dedication is why AD Ports Group was the first company chosen in the Middle East to receive the Investors in People IIP Platinum Accreditation, the highest accolade from an international rankings group that assesses workplace practices at 50,000 organisations in 66 countries.<\/p>\n

        In 2021, AD Ports Group earned IIP Platinum Accreditation for a third consecutive year. The recognition reflects the Group\u2019s success in improving workplace quality even during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, when we provided housing, vaccines, testing and support.\u00a0<\/p>\n

        Despite significant changes to work routines caused by the pandemic and inclusion of new members to the Group\u2019s corporate family through mergers and acquisitions, Employee Satisfaction at AD Ports Group remained high during the year at 85%, according to a 2021 survey.<\/p>\n
