ESG: Unpacking ADGM’s ESG Disclosures Framework for UAE Businesses
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations have become a defining factor for business sustainability and growth worldwide…
The Middle East is experiencing a significant transformation, with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations rapidly becoming a core principle for businesses seeking long-term success. IFRSLAB, a leading ESG Consulting firm in the UAE, is at the forefront of this movement, providing the expertise and guidance companies need to thrive in the evolving ESG landscape.
Traditionally, the MENA region’s focus was primarily on financial considerations. However, a growing awareness of climate change and a global shift towards sustainable practices have spurred a significant change in perspective. Stakeholders – investors, consumers, and regulators alike – are demanding greater transparency and accountability from businesses regarding their environmental and social impact.
Frameworks like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) have further emphasized the importance of ESG reporting. These frameworks provide a standardized approach to measuring and disclosing a company’s ESG performance. As a result, companies in the MENA region are increasingly publishing sustainability reports, reflecting their efforts in environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance.
One of the most significant developments propelling ESG adoption in the MENA region is the enthusiastic embrace of ESG ratings by businesses. Leading firms like Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Global / SAM, Moody’s, and Refinitiv are actively assessing companies based on their ESG criteria. These ratings are then made public, influencing investor decisions and prompting companies to improve their ESG performance.
