This year’s M<\/a>ake it in the Emirates is about execution – turning industrial ambition into sustained economic value, with AI and advanced technology moving from concept to deployment. As UAE manufacturers scale, sustainability is no longer a separate conversation. The pressure to measure, manage, and verify emissions is arriving alongside growth \u2014 and with Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024, it is now arriving with legal weight.<\/p>\n

\n

A more defined regulatory baseline<\/h5>\n

Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 marks the UAE’s first binding climate framework. At this stage, requirements are targeted – primarily at entities with significant emissions above 0.5M tons of CO\u2082e under Scope 1 and 2. For these organisations, disclosure is moving into formal compliance territory.<\/p>\n

This is less about broad mandates and more about establishing a clear starting point for high-impact sectors.<\/p>\n

\nWhere the difficulty lies<\/h5>\n

For most organisations, the challenge is not understanding what to report. It’s doing so reliably.<\/p>\n

Data is typically spread across sites, systems, and teams. What begins as a reporting exercise quickly becomes a question of data quality, traceability, and audit readiness. The shift underway is from collecting data to being able to stand behind it.<\/p>\n

\n

From fragmented data to usable systems<\/h5>\n

A consistent pattern we see is the move away from spreadsheet-based tracking toward structured MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) <\/strong>systems.<\/p>\n

This shift matters beyond compliance. It changes how data is used internally \u2014 making it possible to track performance over time, identify inefficiencies, and inform operational decisions rather than just annual reports.<\/p>\n

ZERO, Olive Gaea\u2019s AI-powered sustainability intelligence platform<\/a>, is built around this problem: turning fragmented sustainability data into decisions that teams can actually use, in real time.<\/p>\n

Examples from recent work<\/p>\n

Across different sectors, the starting point tends to be the same: fragmented data and limited visibility.<\/p>\n

A leading Agri-tech company (ADQ Portfolio company) :<\/strong>We recently worked with one of ADQ\u2019s portfolio companies, a leading agri-tech firm, to consolidate ESG data across subsidiaries into a single automated system. The result: one-click reporting with consistent methodology and full data integrity across entities.<\/p>\n

A financial Institution in Dubai: <\/strong>We helped one of the leading financial institutions in Dubai structure their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data to meet the accuracy and transparency standards expected in financial sector reporting.<\/p>\n

A major event management company: <\/strong>In just 2 weeks, Blink Experience – a leading event management company – completed their full 2025 carbon baseline leveraging our sustainability intelligence<\/a> platform \u201cZERO\u201d.<\/p>\n

These are incremental steps. But they consistently unlock better visibility and more reliable reporting over time. Check more about our latest work here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nA practical shift in how ESG data is used<\/h5>\n

What’s changing is not just regulation, but the role of ESG data itself. It is moving from a compliance output to something closer to operational infrastructure – used to manage risk, track progress, and support decisions at pace.<\/p>\n

\nAt Make it in the Emirates<\/h5>\n

Events like Make it in the Emirates increasingly reflect this shift, from high-level commitments to implementation.<\/p>\n

We’ll be there as part of the Industry NextGen Hub, selected by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology – Booth 13-IN89, Innovation Zone, ADNEC Centre, Abu Dhabi, May 4\u20137.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re attending, feel free to stop by or reach out. Happy to exchange thoughts on how we help approach this transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
