Chairman’s message
Our founders built Orvanta on a simple belief: that patient capital, honestly managed, can transform a region. Forty-seven years later, that belief guides every decision we take.
In 2025 we delivered record revenue of AED 19.2 billion, completed our largest renewable project and set out a clear pathway to net zero. Above all, we continued to invest in people, with more than 4,000 nationals now in leadership and specialist roles.
