The company, a joint venture between the Abu Dhabi Government (70%) and the UAE Federal Government (30%), is committed to providing safe, sustainable, and efficient rail-based transport solutions.

Etihad Rail has made significant strides in enhancing operational efficiency and promoting sustainability. Its comprehensive ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy has led to notable achievements, including reductions in energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste generation. The company’s initiatives also focus on biodiversity conservation, with the relocation of native trees and the construction of wildlife corridors along the railway network.

The organization’s robust governance structure and strategic planning processes have been instrumental in aligning its operations with long-term objectives. Etihad Rail’s customer-centric approach and advanced data analytics support strategic decision-making and continuous improvement, contributing to high customer satisfaction and operational excellence.

With a vision to "safely and sustainably connect regions and integrate industries through rail-based transport," Etihad Rail continues to expand its network, linking the seven Emirates of the UAE and connecting to neighboring GCC countries. The company’s mission to "develop and operate safe, sustainable, and cost-efficient rail solutions, serving clients, industries, and society with passion" reflects its dedication to driving economic growth and social development.
