| Comprehensive | First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC provides a comprehensive disclosure of its climate-policy lobbying activities. In its ‘Financing the Future of Energy’ report, the bank identifies specific policy instruments it engages with—renewable energy targets, feed-in tariffs, electric utility quota obligations, net metering, biofuels mandates, as well as capital subsidies and tax credits—demonstrating clear transparency around the policies it lobbies. It further details its lobbying mechanisms through membership on multiple advisory and consultative bodies, including the National Committee on Climate Change and Environment under the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, the Climate Change Technical Committee at the same ministry, and the ADGM Sustainable Finance Consultative Working Group, among other technical advisory committees and stakeholder consultations. Finally, FAB is explicit about the outcomes it seeks, advocating for the development and enforcement of policies and planning procedures to stimulate and de-risk investments in renewable energy—specifically the establishment of renewable energy targets, feed-in tariffs, and financial incentives aimed at mobilizing private capital. This level of specificity across policies, mechanisms, and outcomes demonstrates a high level of transparency in the bank’s climate-related lobbying. | 4 |
