The Trust Stack: Why ESG Software Has to Earn Three Kinds of Trust Most software asks you to trust it with your data. ESG software asks for something harder. It asks you to trust the numbers it gives back, then sign them, then hand them to a regulator, a lender, or an auditor with your […]

A stranded asset is a building that loses economic value well before the end of its useful life because external conditions shift, whether through physical climate damage, rising insurance costs, or new regulation. In the GCC, all three pressures are converging: the Gulf is warming faster than the global average, the most valuable waterfront stock […]

Coral is one of 15 startups selected and the only climate and sustainability data infrastructure company in the Google for Startups Accelerator: MENAT cohort. Coral has been selected for the Google for Startups Accelerator: AI for the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey; one of 15 startups in a highly selective cohort of AI-native companies […]

Regenerative agriculture credits are emerging as a way to fund farming practices that restore soil, improve water retention, reduce chemical dependency and, where properly measured, store more carbon in agricultural land. For the GCC, this is a food security, desertification, water resilience and supply-chain data story. The opportunity is real, but only if credits are […]

Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) is a structured program used to find, measure, repair and verify leaks from equipment such as valves, flanges, connectors, pumps and compressors. In oil and gas, LDAR is especially important for managing methane emissions from fugitive sources. A strong LDAR program does not only detect leaks; it also creates the […]

The GCC’s marketplace economy is getting bigger, faster, and harder to measure cleanly. Dubai’s Dubai Traders Initiative says it has onboarded more than 2,600 e-commerce sellers, and WORLDEF Dubai 2026 explicitly framed the future of e-commerce around innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth. In parallel, the UAE climate law applies to sources in the state, including […]

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 […]
