Dubai Chambers has signed an MoU with Ahya Technologies to accelerate the adoption of ESG standards among Dubai businesses, aiming to strengthen responsible practices and support companies progressing toward the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 goals.
The agreement focuses on enhancing the capabilities of companies that hold the Dubai Chamber of Commerce ESG Label. Both parties will work together to help these businesses align with Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 on Limiting the Effects of Climate Change and advance their sustainability strategies.
Khalid AlJarwan, Executive Vice President of Commercial and Corporate Services at Dubai Chambers, said the organisation remains committed to empowering companies as they transition to more efficient and sustainable operations. He highlighted the chamber’s role in reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for governance and corporate responsibility.
Ahya Technologies Founder and CEO Salaal Hasan noted that sustainability reporting is shifting from a voluntary practice to a legal requirement in the UAE. He said the partnership will equip companies with solutions to measure, analyse, reduce, and report their emissions while turning compliance into a competitive advantage.
As part of the MoU, both organisations will collaborate on projects that promote ESG practices, offering exclusive incentives and customised support to ESG Label holders. The partnership also includes developing toolkits and knowledge resources to strengthen corporate capabilities.
The cooperation extends to deploying digital tools that assess emissions and sustainability performance, generating aggregated insights to support continuous improvement and policy development.
The Dubai Chamber of Commerce ESG Label, created by the Centre for Responsible Business, recognises companies that advance practices benefiting society and the environment. The Centre, established in 2004, continues to promote responsible business across the emirate.
