Our Community
Salik plays a vital role in enhancing mobility across Dubai, significantly contributing to the convenience of road users and reducing traffic congestion. By ensuring seamless toll operations, Salik improves travel efficiency, allowing smoother journeys while supporting the city’s broader goals for sustainable urban mobility.
In line with its mission to facilitate accessible mobility, Salik extends toll exemptions annually to support diverse groups, including People of Determination, charitable organisations, educational institutions, and public transport providers (learn more in the ‘Our Customers’ section). This reflects Salik’s commitment to fostering an inclusive society and ensuring essential services can operate without barriers.
Beyond its core mission, Salik is dedicated to creating a positive community impact by supporting various social initiatives. In 2024, Salik took significant steps towards this goal by partnering with reputable NGOs and investing AED 500,000 in important social causes, including support for Dubai Autism Centre and Al Jalila Children’s Hospital. Salik plans to maintain its commitment to community support by allocating the same budget of AED 500,000 for 2025, with a continued focus on impactful partnerships with NGOs.
In addition to corporate programmes, Salik operates an employee volunteering programme managed by the QHSE team. This initiative promotes activities such as desert clean‑ups. Ramadan labour camp giveaways, and more. Currently, the programme includes a group of volunteers and is steadily growing. The Company aims to expand the programme further to engage more staff in meaningful community activities.
Supporting children with ASD
Salik is committed to supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families in the UAE. In 2024, the Company donated AED 200,000 to the Dubai Autism Centre, which aligns with Salik’s programmes promoting diversity and inclusivity.
Through this donation, we seek to acknowledge and honour the efforts of autistic children and their families, who are navigating unique challenges in their daily lives. As a society, we are bound to offer collective support to autistic individuals and recognise their role.Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad CEO
Advancing the fight against childhood cancer
In 2024, Salik contributed AED 200,000 to the Al Jalila Foundation. This funding supports the treatment of young cancer patients at Al Jalila Children’s Hospital, the UAE’s first dedicated paediatric hospital. The donation was presented during a visit to the hospital, where a plaque in Salik’s honour will be placed on The Giving Wall. Through this initiative, Salik is committed to strengthening the hospital’s ability to deliver top‑tier medical care to children and raising awareness about the fight against childhood cancer.
