Giving

By 2030, ADG will be listed amongst the global top 30 wholly-owned family businesses in terms of impactful giving.

We maintain a one-to-one giving ratio; for every dollar distributed as dividend in the earning activities, a corresponding dollar is devoted to impactful giving.

We believe in giving that is effective, strategic and driven by impact and we give without preference for religion, creed or belief. We give because we know there can be a relationship between the capacity to earn and the desire to give, and we believe in strengthening this relationship.

 

 

Since our founding in 1962, giving has been at the core of all that we do. Over the years, I am proud to say that we have made the shift toward creating a positive social impact that is measurable.

Abdullah Al-Dabbagh Foundation

Abdullah Al-Dabbagh Foundation (ADF) supports the extended Al-Dabbagh family members and individuals within the community who need additional help. Its initiatives include health care programmes, art funding, financial aid and family support.

Philanthropy University

In 2015, ADG founded Philanthropy University, a free online education platform that gives non-profit leaders access to courses and funding support to increase their impact. It provides free online courses to those working in the social work sector, to bridge the gap between the knowledge and skills needed to have a positive impact on their communities.

A calming work environment

Our ADG headquarters are infused with beautiful art and there are two reasons for this. We display art for its calming and stress-reducing abilities, while also giving colleagues something to discuss, debate and connect on. Just as importantly, we acquire these art pieces in order to build an endowment so we can continue with our giving activities. Our art benefits our internal ADG community as well as the wider communities within the region and beyond.

Leading change toward net zero and nature positive

Achieving the Group’s ambitions of net zero and nature positive cannot be done by our businesses in isolation. Dukan’s work to lead change and bring its customers with them, is an important part of creating the broader changes needed for us to be able to achieve our ambitions.

Encouraging innovative ideas

Achieving our ambitions to be net zero and nature positive by 2030 need Group-wide innovation, internally and externally. The Omnipreneurship Awards are the driving force of this innovation.
