What is the ESG Power List?

The ESG Power 50 is an initiative launched to recognise the trailblazers in the Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) function who are embedding the ESG culture and sustainable practices into their corporate strategies and driving sustainability forward in the GCC region.

The initiative strives to reinforce the importance of a strong ESG culture, not just depending on the strength of the ESG team but on the vision and the efforts that are taken to embed ethical practices into the day-to-day business operations.

Whether your business has an ESG strategy implemented or not, there is a lot of key takeaways in the ESG Power 50 Power List, as well as recognising the talent in the GCC region and their accomplishments, the list also offers some exclusive insights and statistics into ESG and business in the GCC region.

We create and plan decarbonisation goals and strategies for organisations to achieve their objectives at the various phases of their decarbonisation journeys, allowing our clients to continue operating efficiently, effectively and most importantly, sustainably.

Playing a crucial role in making business sense of ESG for business owners, investors and C-suite executives across all sectors, we make sustainability a common practice among organisations to curb climate change globally.

We are SmartHead, the sustainability and ESG SaaS tool for savvy, forward-thinking companies that care about the future of our planet… and their business.

Because sustainability saves money, boosts brand reputation, and secures the loyalty of customers, employees, partners and investors.

By measuring your progress toward being a sustainable business, we show you exactly where your initiatives are working and where they need a little boost. That way, you’ll know where you’re headed and how to get there even faster.

We’ll also help you communicate your success to stakeholders and customers, because sustainability is one thing you’re definitely allowed to show off about.
