About this event

    This GCC-focused masterclass on emission reporting is designed to help business leaders, ESG managers, and compliance officers navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape across the Gulf. As countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman accelerate their climate commitments, the ability to measure, report, and verify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is no longer optional, it’s a legal and strategic necessity.

    With the introduction of UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. (11) of 2024 and similar mandates emerging across the region, companies are now expected to demonstrate credible Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission tracking systems backed by auditable data. This session goes beyond theory, it offers a practical roadmap for immediate action, giving participants the tools and frameworks needed to begin or improve their emissions reporting journey. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to digitize your inventory processes, this live, instructor led training will ensure you’re prepared for GCC climate compliance. You’ll also gain direct exposure to CorpStage ESG 360, a platform that automates emissions tracking and reporting across multiple jurisdictions.

    This masterclass is designed to help organizations across all industries take immediate, confident action. You will learn how to establish a regulator ready emissions reporting system, how to identify your Scope 1 and 2 emission sources, and how to begin aligning with adaptation plans tied to national climate targets and transition frameworks.

    Through this practical and interactive session, you will also gain firsthand exposure to CorpStage ESG 360, our powerful platform for automated emission tracking, MRV (Measurement, Reporting & Verification), and assurance ready documentation.

    What You’ll Learn

    1. GCC Regulatory Landscape: What’s Changing & Why It MattersWe’ll begin by walking you through the latest climate and emissions-related laws across the GCC, including:

    • UAE’s Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 (enforced May 2025): Mandatory Scope 1 & 2 reporting, third-party verification, penalties of up to AED 2M.
    • KSA’s advancing carbon disclosure protocols under Vision 2030 and Tadawul guidelines.
    • Qatar’s National Climate Change Action Plan and roadmap for reducing emissions in energy and industrial sectors.
    • Oman’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy and adaptation-focused emission reduction targets.

    We’ll compare how each jurisdiction defines compliance obligations, and what businesses need to do differently depending on their geographic and operational footprint.

    2. Scope 1 & Scope 2 Emissions: Know What You EmitA significant part of this session is devoted to helping you:

    • Identify direct and indirect emissions within your operations
    • Define your organizational and operational boundaries
    • Understand how energy use, fuel consumption, cooling systems, company vehicles, and other assets contribute to your Scope 1 & 2 profile

    We’ll also clarify misconceptions – such as overreporting, double counting, and “grey areas” – that often lead to poor audit outcomes or non-compliance.

    3. Data Collection, Inventory Design & Digital MRVYou’ll learn how to build a practical, audit-ready emissions inventory, using:

    • Primary and secondary data sources
    • Energy bills, fuel logs, refrigerant leakage estimates, water and utility records
    • Standardized emissions factors from recognized global databases

    More importantly, you’ll see how this data flows into an integrated digital MRV system using CorpStage ESG 360. The live demonstration will show you:

    • How to enter and validate emissions data across sites
    • How to create automated reports that align with GRI, ISSB, CSRD and national disclosures
    • How audit ready file creation and traceability is handled using time stamped data trails

    4. Climate Adaptation & Sector ReadinessEmission reporting is just one side of climate readiness. For businesses operating in heat exposed, flood prone, or water stressed regions of the GCC, adaptation planning is now part of regulatory expectations.

    This session will touch on:

    • How climate risks (e.g., heatwaves, supply chain disruptions, infrastructure flooding) affect business continuity
    • What UAE and Oman regulators are requiring around sector-level adaptation plans
    • How your company can begin conducting basic physical climate risk assessments

    Who Should Attend

    This session is ideal for:

    • Sustainability leads and ESG managers
    • Finance, compliance, and operational heads
    • Board members and CXOs seeking a strategy aligned view of compliance
    • Public or private companies operating across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, or Kuwait

    Key Takeaways

    • A region specific emissions compliance checklist
    • A sample Scope 1 & 2 emissions inventory template
    • A starter climate adaptation risk map (aligned with local strategies)
    • A firsthand look at CorpStage ESG 360’s MRV automation tools
    • A Certificate of Participation
