For FMCG operators in the GCC, cold chain emissions rarely sit in one neat box. They are usually split across Scope 1 fugitive emissions from refrigerant leaks, Scope 2 electricity used to keep products cold, and Scope 3 emissions from outsourced refrigerated transport and storage. The accounting treatment is straightforward in principle, but the harder […]

GCC hospitality groups do not need to chase all 15 Scope 3 categories at once and drown in complexity from day one. The smarter move is to start where the data is already within reach: guest travel the hotel can actually see, influence, or arrange, and procurement categories that already flow through daily operations, especially […]

Net-zero intent in GCC real estate often underperforms after handover because design assumptions can diverge from real occupancy, controls, and maintenance practice. That matters in a region where building operations are a major energy and emissions lever, Dubai’s green building rules explicitly cover planning, design, construction, and operation, and GSAS states that a building’s long-term […]

Product carbon footprints break down when factor versions, boundaries, supplier inputs, and corrections change without control. For GCC companies, a defensible PCF means locked factor sets, versioned methodology, evidence-linked activity data, and a change log that shows what changed, why it changed, and whether history was restated. That matters more now because the EU’s Carbon […]

Emission factors in the GCC: DEFRA vs IEA vs local utility factors (and how to govern them) Emission factors can change your reported footprint even when operations stay the same, especially in electricity-heavy GCC businesses. The safest approach is to prioritize the most geographically representative factors available (utility/subnational for Scope 2 where possible), use IEA […]

COP outcomes matter in the GCC when they change what gets funded, what gets bought, and what gets audited. COP29 (Baku, 2024) agreed a quantified post‑2025 New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance, with developed countries taking the lead in mobilizing USD 300bn per year by 2035 for developing countries and a broader collective […]

Financed emissions are the portion of a counterparty’s greenhouse gas emissions attributed to a financial institution’s loans and investments (Scope 3 Category 15: Investments). In the GCC, financed emissions programs most often break on three points: inconsistent attribution in syndicated and structured financing, uneven portfolio coverage, and weak auditability when evidence is scattered across PDFs, […]

Dubai’s most practical path to aviation decarbonisation is staged: scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) first, industrialise power-to-liquid (PtL) e-fuels next, and prepare for hydrogen infrastructure where it delivers earlier value (airside and ground operations) while aircraft technology matures. The main risk is not only fuel supply, but credibility: aviation fuel claims need lifecycle accounting, chain-of-custody, […]

Buying local doesn’t automatically reduce Scope 3 emissions. Local sourcing often lowers emissions when it reduces air freight, damage/waste, or enables circular flows, but it can increase emissions if local production is more carbon-intensive than your current supplier. The most defensible approach is to compare scenarios using supplier production data plus logistics activity data aligned […]

Sustainability in the GCC is shifting from voluntary disclosure to a governance and risk requirement, driven by national strategies and a growing focus on investor-grade reporting. As Scope 1 to 3 expectations expand, organisations are moving away from spreadsheet-led reporting toward audit-ready carbon data infrastructure. AI-enabled carbon platforms help teams ingest fragmented data, including invoices […]

Takeaways from Dubai Fintech Week: enterprises want audit-ready emissions data, trusted credits, and product-ready climate tools that are easy to explain.

A carbon credit represents the reduction or removal of one metric ton of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent). Credits are issued to verified projects and can be used by organizations to compensate for emissions in both regulated compliance programs and voluntary markets.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of carbon emissions (operational emissions and supply chain emissions). Operational emissions comprise Scope 1 and 2, while supply chain emissions are considered Scope 3.

The COP28 climate summit in Dubai brought together leaders from governments, business, academia, and civil society to shape the future of climate action. Coral attended as a UAE-based startup, forging partnerships and supporting businesses worldwide in meeting their sustainability goals.

Leadership is key to making meaningful progress against climate change, and corporations like Nissan are stepping up. Coral is proud to have been chosen as Nissan Formula E’s official carbon credits partner. Together, we’re ensuring transparency in offsetting the racing team’s carbon footprint. Coral continues its mission to bring clarity and trust to carbon markets, making environmental responsibility achievable for all.

The carbon credit market, often touted as a critical tool in the fight against climate change, has its share of challenges and controversies. While it is designed to incentivize emission reductions and support sustainability initiatives, several issues have plagued its effectiveness and integrity.

Climate disclosure regulations are setting the stage for a “trickle-down effect” that influences every industry and every stage of the supply chain.

Companies subject to climate regulation must select the appropriate carbon accounting protocol. Here are the two key protocols and how they align to major climate regulations.

We’re proud to announce the launch of Coral’s API on the Shopify platform, enabling businesses to embed emissions calculations and carbon offsets directly into their shopping experiences. With this integration, we’re making it easier for brands to empower their customers with informed, sustainable choices.

COP29 marked the operationalization of Article 6.4 under the Paris Agreement, a significant step forward for global carbon markets. This framework establishes standardized methodologies for emissions reductions, boosting transparency and collaboration across borders. In this blog, we explore the implications of Article 6.4 on nations, corporations, and the voluntary carbon market, along with Coral’s strategic role in empowering businesses to navigate this transformative shift.
