Carbon

Carbon accounting and decarbonisation

We measure your greenhouse gas emissions to the GHG Protocol, set up the records regulators expect and build a practical plan to reduce them.

UAE Climate Law ยท Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024

Every entity in the UAE, including free zone companies, must measure and report its greenhouse gas emissions, keep records for at least five years and take steps to reduce them. Detailed rules on which emissions to include are still being finalised by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. Full compliance from 30 May 2026; fines from AED 50,000 to AED 2,000,000.

From your invoices to a lower-carbon business

Most of the data sits with finance: fuel, electricity, refrigerants and travel. We work with your team to turn it into a reliable inventory.

  1. Set boundaries

    Agree which entities, sites and activities are covered.

  2. Collect data

    Gather activity data, mostly from existing finance and operations records.

  3. Calculate

    Build your inventory to the GHG Protocol: Scope 1 and 2 as the baseline, plus Scope 3 where banks, investors or customers ask for it.

  4. Decarbonise

    Set targets and a reduction plan with costed actions, from energy efficiency to fleet and refrigerants.

  5. Report and keep records

    Prepare your submission and set up records so next year takes a fraction of the effort.
