The Emiratisation rate at ADNOC Gas stood at 63.8% at the end of 2025, reflecting the company’s continued focus on developing national talent, according to its Integrated Report filed with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).
“We aspire to nurture and elevate local talent, strengthening community ties and advancing national objectives for skill development,” the ADNOC Gas report said.
To further strengthen this commitment, ADNOC Gas has introduced annual key performance indicators (KPIs) to track Emiratisation in critical roles, reinforcing its dedication to the UAE’s long-term talent growth.
The company said it continues to attract both local and international talent while empowering Emiratis through opportunities for skill development, leadership growth and meaningful contributions across its operations.
"Our commitment to growth is reflected in the hiring of 247 new employees and an impressive retention rate of 95%,” ADNOC Gas said.
The report added that the company seeks to build a performance-driven culture grounded in ethical conduct, social responsibility and strong governance, with a focus on diversity and inclusion, Emiratisation, community engagement and employee wellbeing.
ADNOC Gas also continued to invest in strengthening employee skills and professional growth throughout 2025. Annual training programmes were delivered in coordination with ADNOC Shared Services, supported by internal instructors and tailored development plans.
The company also offered internship opportunities to university students, supporting national talent development.
Through its In-Country Value (ICV) programme, ADNOC Gas said it is supporting local suppliers and contributing to economic growth. “We aspire to build trust among stakeholders, make meaningful contributions to society and uphold corporate integrity,” the company said.
Highlighting the broader significance of its workforce initiatives, ADNOC Gas Chief Financial Officer Peter Van Driel said: “ADNOC Gas’ achievements in 2025 are a testament to the dedication of our people, the trust of our shareholders and the strength of our strategic partnerships. This year, we deepened our investment in talent development, advanced Emiratisation and expanded our community engagement initiatives – reinforcing our support for the UAE’s economic diversification and long-term prosperity.”
ADNOC Gas was listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange on March 13, 2023, following the completion of its initial public offering.
By the end of 2025, the company had a market capitalisation of approximately Dh272.5 billion ($74.2 billion), based on a closing share price of Dh3.55.
Its main shareholder is XRG, a wholly owned subsidiary of ADNOC, holding 86% of the company’s share capital, while Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) owns 5%. No other shareholder holds more than 5%.
In February 2025, ADNOC completed a marketed offering of approximately 3.1 billion shares to institutional investors. The offering, priced at Dh3.40 per share, represented 4% of the company’s issued share capital and raised about $2.84 billion.
The transaction increased ADNOC Gas’ free float by 80% to around 9%, significantly improving market liquidity and broadening its institutional investor base.
Following the offering, ADNOC Gas met global index eligibility thresholds, leading to its inclusion in major indices such as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the FTSE Emerging Index. This resulted in passive inflows of around $750 million and enhanced international visibility of the stock.
