ADIB seeks to be an active contributor to sustainable development in the UAE. The Bank has designed a corporate social responsibility strategy that supports its objectives, corporate value, and long-term vision of generating positive and sustainable social and economic impact in sectors, areas, and communities of operation through value creation.

ADIB regularly identifies a number of proactive and responsible programs and initiatives to be carried out both on the corporate level and on an investment project level. The programs and initiatives are based on the pillars of development, value, and philanthropy. The Bank’s areas of focus depend on various factors, primarily the requirements and needs of the community such as promoting economic growth through SME financing, creating job opportunities, enhancing education, youth development, and financial literacy.

ADIB believes that local procurement can also encourage the development of local businesses and communities. Local procurement can have a wide range of positive social impacts on society such as job creation, and economic growth. The integration of Environmental and Social factors in procurement practices also supports the Bank in identifying suppliers that comply with environmental and labor laws as well as human rights standards. By sourcing goods and services locally, ADIB can also potentially reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and logistics within the Bank’s supply chain.​
