Sustainability report design
questions.

No, we focus on design and final file preparation. For content development, materiality assessment, and framework compliance, we recommend engaging reporting advisers. We work alongside your advisers to handle the visual design.

Framework selection should be guided by your reporting advisers based on your industry, stakeholders, and regulatory requirements. For DFM- and ADX-listed companies, the DFM ESG Reporting Guide and ADX ESG Disclosure Guidance are common starting points. Once your advisers specify the framework, we design accordingly.

Yes, we have designed many reports following GRI structure. GRI content development and compliance is handled by your reporting team and advisers; we focus on the visual presentation of GRI-aligned content.

Yes, we coordinate directly with your appointed advisers for content handover, review cycles, and timeline alignment. This is our standard working arrangement.

All written content, sustainability data, and performance metrics. This is typically prepared by your reporting advisers or internal team. We handle visual design and final file preparation.

Design timeline depends on content readiness. Once content is provided, design takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on package and complexity. We recommend starting design discussions early to align timelines.

Yes. Public joint stock companies listed on DFM or ADX are required by the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority to publish an annual sustainability report, and both exchanges have issued ESG disclosure guidance. The UAE Climate Law, Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024, adds greenhouse-gas measurement and reporting duties for many organizations. Your advisers own the disclosure content; we design the report that carries it.
