Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

ALDAR Properties PJSC (ALDAR) is responsible for creating, owning and maintaining communities and associated Infrastructure for the long term benefit of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, in line with Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 and Plan Al Ain 2030. Through its business activities, ALDAR is striving to be fully aligned with the vision of H.H.
