Frequently Asked Questions

Is ESG reporting mandatory in Qatar?
The Qatar Stock Exchange has issued ESG guidance encouraging listed companies to report on ESG performance. While not yet fully mandatory, ESG disclosure is increasingly expected by regulators, investors, and international partners. UAE has made sustainability reporting mandatory for large entities from 2025.
What is a materiality assessment?
A materiality assessment identifies the ESG topics most significant to your organization and stakeholders. It determines which issues should be prioritized in your strategy and reporting. GSustain conducts double materiality assessments that consider both impact on stakeholders and financial materiality to the business.
Can GSustain help with GHG inventory development AND verification?
Yes, but with strict separation. Our advisory team builds GHG inventories. Our verification team — operating independently under our GAB-accredited quality system — provides independent verification. This separation is required to maintain impartiality.
What does climate risk assessment involve?
Climate risk assessment evaluates how physical climate impacts (extreme heat, sea level rise, water stress) and transition risks (regulation, carbon pricing, market shifts) could affect your business. We align our assessments with TCFD recommendations for disclosure-ready outputs.
Does GSustain provide ongoing ESG advisory or project-based only?
Both. We offer project-based engagements (e.g., first sustainability report, materiality assessment) and ongoing retainer arrangements for organizations that need continuous ESG advisory support.
