ESG Data & Reporting Readiness / DUBAI, UAE & GCC
Build the evidence before making the claim.

THE COMMERCIAL PURPOSE
What this work helps you decide.
Establish a clearer process for collecting and managing the information needed for climate-related reporting. We map sources, boundaries, assumptions and ownership, then identify gaps and improvement actions. Any methodology, assurance or jurisdiction-specific requirement is defined in the engagement with the relevant specialist input.
The decision test
Can each reported indicator be traced to a defined boundary, source, calculation approach and responsible reviewer?
What we need to understand
Reporting objectives, stakeholder requests, operating locations, available environmental and social data, supplier information and current ownership.
A clear sequence. Useful work at every stage.
The scope connects diagnosis with practical implementation. Each stage has a purpose, with decisions, dependencies and responsibilities made explicit.
01
Understand
Clarify reporting needs and map the available evidence.
02
Design
Define indicators, data boundaries and ownership.
03
Build
Build collection, calculation and review workflows.
04
Embed
Document limitations and create an improvement plan for the next cycle.
THE DELIVERABLES
What you can put to work.
The final scope specifies the outputs, level of detail and acceptance criteria. Depending on your starting point, the work can include:
01
Data inventory
02
Collection templates
03
Responsibility map
04
Reporting-readiness plan
We agree which deliverables need to be created, which existing materials should be improved and what can be excluded. Implementation dependencies, access requirements and client review responsibilities are documented before work starts.
A handover your team can use
Receive the agreed outputs with the assumptions, ownership and operating guidance needed to use them. Where a system or workflow is configured, the handover identifies administration, maintenance and review responsibilities.
Progress measured against the brief
The starting point and success measures are defined during discovery. Reviews test whether the work answers the agreed decision or delivery need, while keeping dependencies and unresolved assumptions visible.
THE DETAILS THAT CHANGE THE RESULT
Where the expertise shows up.
01
Define the boundary first.
Agree the entities, locations, activities and indicators included in the exercise. A number without a clear boundary can be misleading. Identify exclusions and data limitations so stakeholders understand what the reporting covers.
02
Create a traceable evidence chain.
Map each indicator to a source, collection method, calculation approach and reviewer. Retain supporting evidence in a usable structure. Consistency and reviewability matter more than a visually polished report built on unverified inputs.
03
Turn gaps into a practical roadmap.
Prioritise missing data, unclear ownership and process improvements. Reporting readiness should leave the business better able to repeat the cycle. Specialist calculations and formal assurance can be coordinated where the scope requires them.
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START
Clarity before commitment.
Does readiness work certify compliance or provide assurance?
No. Readiness organises the information, processes and responsibilities needed for reporting. Applicable obligations, specialist calculations and independent assurance should be confirmed with the appropriate qualified advisers.
Can we start with a focused scope?
Yes. Start with a defined priority and the inputs needed to address it. We can scope a diagnostic, a specific deliverable or implementation support, rather than requiring a broad programme before the business need is clear.
Who is involved from our team?
A decision-maker, a day-to-day owner and the people who understand the relevant workflows or information. Access, review and approval responsibilities are agreed at the start so progress does not depend on informal handovers.
How are the fees and timeline set?
They depend on the agreed outputs, quality and availability of inputs, implementation requirements and ongoing support. The proposal specifies milestones, responsibilities and commercial terms. The discovery call is used to understand the work before quoting it.
Start with the priority in front of you.
Tell us what needs to change, what you have already tried and what a useful result would look like. We will discuss the relevant scope and the next decision.
