In July 2023, Emirates NBD signed the U.A.E. Climate-Responsible Companies Pledge initiated by the U.A.E. Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. It is among the seventh cohort of 15 U.A.E. signatories to commit to implementing carbon emission reduction goals, following sustainable methods in business operations, and standing by a timeline compatible with the U.A.E.'s path to climate neutrality by 2050. Emirates NBD also began offering carbon futures contracts trading for corporations to manage their carbon emissions offset. This will allow clients to deal in carbon credits as they reach their sustainability goals.
