Carbon Markets & Climate Policy15 Nisan 2026Cold Chain & Refrigerants: The Overlooked FMCG Emissions Hotspot in the GCC
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 […]
Emissions Reporting2 Nisan 2026Hospitality Scope 3 Reality: Guest Travel & Procurement Data You Can Actually Collect
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 […]
Emissions Reporting13 Mart 2026Product Carbon Footprints Without Version-Control Hell: Factors, Audit Trails, and Change Logs
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 […]
Emissions Reporting2 Mart 2026Emission factors in the GCC: DEFRA vs IEA vs local utility factors (and how to govern them)
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 […]
Emissions Reporting9 Şubat 2026Financed Emissions in the GCC: A Practical PCAF Playbook for Attribution, Coverage, and Auditability
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, […]
Emissions Reporting2 Şubat 2026Hydrogen, SAF, and Dubai’s Aviation Transition: Building the Fuel System for Net Zero Skies
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, […]
Emissions Reporting26 Ocak 2026How Local Supply Chains Influence Scope 3 Emissions (and when “buy local” backfires)
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 […]
Emissions Reporting17 Mayıs 2025Operational vs. Value Chain Emissions: How They Map to Scope 1, 2, and 3
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.

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