First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) has published its Sustainable Finance Impact Report 2025, highlighting the bank’s growing role in supporting sustainability-focused investments and long-term economic development across the UAE and international markets.
From 2022 to 2025, FAB mobilised AED381B (USD104B) in sustainable and transition financing through 280 deals across 41 countries. The milestone represents 76 per cent progress toward the bank’s AED500B sustainable finance commitment targeted for 2030.
The bank said its investments in renewable energy, nuclear energy, green real estate, rail transport, waste-to-energy projects and electric vehicle manufacturing have generated major economic benefits. These initiatives have also contributed to employment creation, supporting more than 120,500 jobs in the UAE since 2022.
FAB further revealed that it has financed over 30,000 electric vehicles, accounting for more than half of the EVs currently operating in the UAE. The bank noted that the move aligns with national efforts to reduce carbon emissions and accelerate clean mobility adoption.
According to the report, FAB has directed AED152.2B since 2022 toward projects that support decarbonisation and economic diversification, in line with the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategy and the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.
The report reflects FAB’s continued focus on climate action, sustainable investment and inclusive growth, while expanding support for clients transitioning to environmentally responsible business models.
