Community Outreach

Culture and Community

Dolphin Energy has made various contributions on cultural and community issues of importance.

The company has participated in both the Qatar Foundation and the Emirates Foundation of Abu Dhabi, making substantial donations to assist programs being implemented by each of these philanthropic institutions.

Dolphin Energy has also supported the establishment of special needs centres in the UAE and Qatar, besides contributing to international humanitarian aid programs through the Red Crescent.

Specific attention has also been paid to archeology, since the company's pipeline routes from Al Ain to Fujairah and Taweelah to Fujairah have skirted ancient sites of significant cultural value and historical significance. Mapping and surveying projects of archaeological sites within Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah have been sponsored and assisted by the company with funding for overseas post graduate training of UAE national archaeologists.

In 2007, Dolphin Energy as part of its community engagement strategy undertook the first Environmental and Social Impact Study for the energy sector in the UAE in full compliance with EP, WB and IFC requirement.

In its most recent public initiative in 2008, Dolphin has appointed a Community Liaison Officer and developed a stakeholder engagement program to assist operations and projects effectively interface with communities living near and around its UAE gas network.
