Emirates NBD will be planting 3,000 trees surrounding Jubail Mangrove Park in Abu Dhabi
As part of its ongoing commitment to the environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) agenda, Emirates NBD will be planting 3,000 trees surrounding Jubail Mangrove Park in Abu Dhabi. The initiative follows an agreement with Jubail Island, a haven of exclusive living, sprawled across 4,000 hectares of mangrove forests and coastal estuaries in Abu Dhabi, UAE. UAE stepped up its ambition to expand its mangrove cover by promising to plant 100 million mangroves by 2030. With the UAE aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and COP28 taking place in the UAE next year, the banking group is aligning itself with the UAE’s dedication to biodiversity. This strategic agreement with Emirates NBD exemplifies the importance of how vital the environment is for businesses and the efforts that are being taken to create a sustainable future for all. This initiative is in line with Jubail Island’s commitment to increase the capital’s green urban space by planting 1 million mangrove trees
