ESG in Abu Dhabi

Sustainable waterfront building in Dubai at sunset

ESG in Abu Dhabi combines UAE-wide obligations with the emirate's role as the country's energy and sustainability centre. Companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) face sustainability-disclosure requirements, and the emirate hosts Masdar, Masdar City and major renewable and decarbonisation programmes that shape supplier, financing and reporting expectations across the market.

We help businesses in Abu Dhabi build ESG into governance and disclosure, arrange sustainable and green finance, meet climate and environmental compliance, and run ESG diligence on supply chains and deals, including work touching the emirate's energy and government-related entities. We also advise on greenwashing risk as scrutiny rises.

What we do

  • ESG disclosure (ADX-listed and private)
  • Corporate governance
  • Sustainable and green finance
  • Climate and environmental compliance
  • Supply-chain and deal ESG diligence

Frequently asked

Do ADX-listed companies have ESG obligations?

Yes. ADX requires sustainability disclosure from listed companies, and lenders and counterparties increasingly expect it more broadly. We assess what applies and build a compliant framework.

How does Abu Dhabi's energy transition affect my business?

Decarbonisation programmes and the emirate's Net Zero drive are shaping procurement, financing and reporting. We help you anticipate and comply.
