As the UAE moves rapidly toward its Net-Zero 2050 Strategy, companies across real estate, logistics, manufacturing, and finance have a unique opportunity: to turn carbon accounting and reporting from a compliance requirement into a driver of competitive value.

With frameworks like Decree 11, 2024, setting clearer expectations, companies that proactively build strong carbon accounting and reporting capabilities will position themselves as preferred partners in procurement, more attractive borrowers to financial institutions, and trusted suppliers to global customers.

What good carbon accounting and reporting looks like in the UAE

For large companies emitting more than 0.5 million tonnes of CO2e in Scope 1 and 2, effective carbon reporting means:

  • Consistently measuring and reporting Scope 1 and 2 emissions using global best practices like the GHG Protocol.
  • Maintaining clean, auditable data that’s ready for both regulators and investors.
  • Tracking progress at regular intervals; turning carbon data into a management tool, not just an annual report.
  • Linking carbon performance directly to business improvements, such as energy efficiency projects, green procurement initiatives, and emissions reduction investments.

The companies that embed these practices into their operating rhythm will not only meet compliance requirements; they’ll stand out as leaders in the region’s low-carbon transformation.

Why leadership visibility matters

The most forward-thinking companies bring carbon data out of the sustainability silo and into the boardroom.

CarbonSifr integrates carbon performance into regular management reporting cycles, giving the CEO, CFO, COO, and CSO clear visibility at every monthly or quarterly review. This helps leadership teams connect emissions performance directly to operational and financial performance, empowering faster and smarter decisions.
