The Securities and Commodities Authority of the UAE’s (SCA) role in supporting the growth of sustainable finance in the UAE is to help create an enabling regulatory environment for both suppliers and users of capital. In doing so, SCA focuses on a number of key areas, including incorporating the concepts of sustainability into its regulatory policies wherever possible, as well as considering new cost-effective means for financing sustainable projects and ventures. SCA is also focused on enhancing corporate governance practices in companies to support efforts to incorporate sustainability in strategic decisionmaking. On the investor side, SCA encourages investors and those who act on their behalf to strongly advocate for sustainable investing in addition to providing them with the information, tools, channels and instruments to do so. Reflecting these priorities, SCA has developed a Master Plan for Capital Markets that supports sustainability goals. The plan comprises seven pillars, including introducing a sustainable finance taxonomy and classification framework, developing market platforms and investment instruments, as well as enhancing transparency and disclosure requirements, and rolling awareness and education for industry participants and corporates.
