Purpose and Approach
The context:
Throughout the Arab region, there is a rapidly growing valuation of the disclosure and analysis of “sustainability” performance of all organisations.
Major drivers of this demand include, but are not limited to:
- The opening of major regional stock markets to foreign investors, who seriously consider sustainability performance to inform their investment decisions.
- Regional companies expanding into international markets where their overall competitiveness, and bottom line is affected by stringent Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulations.
- The establishment of demanding long-term national visions in several Arab nations which include sustainability as a core strategic element. Organisations are expected to demonstrate their measured impact against ambitious human, social, economic and environmental goals embedded within these national plans.
