Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group (ADSG), founded by Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) in 2008, is marking its 15-year anniversary, which coincides with the UAE Year of Sustainability.
As part of this milestone, the ADSG has invited all of its members to reaffirm their commitment to the group’s mission and vision, adopting sustainability as a fundamental approach to achieving the emirate’s development goals.
Founded to raise awareness, share knowledge and best practices, facilitate collaboration and promote sustainability reporting and global reporting standards, the ADSG has become a leader in promoting sustainable development across the Middle East.
Over the past 15 years, I have witnessed with pride the unprecedented success of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group, which has developed into a key player in the sector and enjoys a strong presence in Abu Dhabi due to its ever-growing body of members. Initially, we started with 15 members, and have recently welcomed our 52nd. It is fitting that we celebrate the 15thanniversary of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group in the UAE’s Year of Sustainability and as the nation gears up to host COP28 – a key event in the UAE’s climate action history.
Mr. Mohammed Ahmed Al Bowardi, Minister of State for Defence Affairs, shared.
“I am certain that Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group will have a major role to play at the global forum and going forward well into the future,” Mr. Al Bowardi, added.
Dr. Shaikha Salem Al Dhaheri, Secretary-General of EAD, commented that “the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Group’s members have played an important role in integrating sustainability governance to achieve impact in the emirate, the UAE and our region.
“Together, we have achieved many milestones over the past 15 years, and I am confident that our collective efforts will continue to shape a more sustainable future for Abu Dhabi. We will continue with our journey and redouble our efforts to deal with a range of sustainability challenges in a way that is aligned with EAD’s mandate to protect biodiversity and Abu Dhabi’s environmental sustainability,” Mr. Dhaheri added.
