Using the ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) framework, businesses in the UAE can adopt new policies or initiatives to save costs, improve their environmental impact, enhance the quality of their people, and implement a governance framework.

 

The Living Business Programme is a process in which UAE-based businesses can simultaneously enhance their profitability and their sustainability.

During the program, businesses have the opportunity to be guided through workshops, coaching and implementation assistance.
