Mandatory Climate Reporting & Waste: A New ESG Frontier for UAE Businesses

Mandatory Climate Reporting & Waste: A New ESG Frontier for UAE Businesses

As sustainability becomes a global imperative, the UAE has taken a bold step toward accountability. With mandatory climate reporting now being introduced across industries, UAE businesses are expected not only to measure emissions—but also to document how they manage waste, energy, and materials. And that’s where the conversation gets real.

At Green Land Recycling Solutions, we believe waste management is no longer just an operational function—it’s a strategic ESG lever. In a world where transparency drives trust, how you handle your waste could determine your reputation, compliance score, and investor interest.

As of 2025, businesses in the UAE are expected to align with frameworks like the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards). That means tracking:

  • Scope 1 emissions (direct company emissions)
  • Scope 2 emissions (energy use)
  • Scope 3 emissions (indirect, including waste disposal)

Yes, your landfill impact, e-waste stream, and packaging footprint are now measurable—and reportable.

Here’s where waste enters the ESG boardroom:

  • Organic waste in landfills releases methane—up to 84x more potent than CO₂
  • Improper disposal of batteries or hazardous goods can lead to fire risks and environmental fines
  • E-waste and packaging waste are key indicators in circular economy compliance
  • Transparent waste data supports audit trails, ESG scoring, and sustainability certifications

That’s why businesses can’t afford to treat recycling as an afterthought.

We help UAE businesses transition from traditional waste disposal to certified, traceable, and report-ready recycling. Our services include:

  • IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) and e-waste recovery
  • Food, textile, and packaging waste recycling
  • Secure destruction with compliance documentation
  • Monthly waste reports tailored for climate disclosures and CSR audits

Sustainability reporting isn’t just a global trend—it’s a regional regulation. Waste data is climate data. And your business’s ability to measure and reduce it is key to long-term resilience and reputation. Partner with Green Land Recycling Solutions—because when it comes to ESG, what you throw away matters more than ever.
