ESG Pillars: Environmental, Social, and Governance
SERVICE DEFINITION

What is ESG Consulting?

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting has evolved from a voluntary "nice-to-have" initiative to a critical business imperative. At CQES International LLC, our ESG consulting services go beyond mere data disclosure; we help organizations integrate sustainability into their core business model, driving long-term value creation and resilience.

Our approach is rooted in the most rigorous international frameworks. We specialize in aligning your disclosures with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

Investors are increasingly using ESG scores to evaluate risk and return, while regulators in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and globally are introducing mandatory disclosure requirements. We ensure your reporting remains future-proof and credible on the global stage.

REGIONAL LANDSCAPE

ESG Regulations in the Middle East

United Arab Emirates (UAE)

The UAE has positioned itself as a regional leader in sustainable finance. The Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) has mandated ESG reporting for all public joint-stock companies listed on the ADX and DFM. Furthermore, the UAE Green Agenda 2015-2030 and the recent COP28 commitments have accelerated the push for private sector transparency. Companies are now expected to align with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative, making ESG data critical for procurement and licensing.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

Under Saudi Vision 2030, the Kingdom is undergoing a massive transformation. The Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) has issued ESG disclosure guidelines to encourage listed companies to report on their sustainability performance. With the launch of the Saudi Green Initiative (SGI), there is a growing focus on environmental stewardship and social responsibility, particularly for entities involved in mega-projects like NEOM and the Red Sea Project.

Navigating these local mandates while maintaining international consistency is a core strength of CQES International LLC. We ensure your local reports meet the specific requirements of regional exchanges while remaining fully compliant with global benchmarks like the GRI and SASB.
