About the Summit.
The 4th Annual Middle East ESG Reporting Summit 2026 will take place on the 19th of November 2026 in Dubai and will bring together over 100-150 senior sustainability, finance, risk, and compliance leaders from across the region.
This edition is designed around the realities shaping ESG reporting in the UAE and the wider Middle East. It focuses on what organizations must do next as regulatory expectations tighten, data quality comes under scrutiny, and ESG moves deeper into business strategy.
The summit will feature real world case studies from regional and global organizations, showing how ESG reporting frameworks are being implemented in practice. Sessions will explore UAE aligned ESG disclosure requirements, the evolution of national sustainability agendas, and the integration of ESG into enterprise risk, finance, and governance structures.
Key themes for 2026 include ESG reporting under UAE regulatory frameworks, alignment with IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, climate risk and transition planning, ESG data governance and assurance, supply chain transparency, and the role of technology in improving ESG data accuracy and reporting efficiency.
Join us in Dubai in 2026 and be part of the conversations shaping the next phase of ESG reporting in the region.
