Abu Dhabi Chamber

Values create value

The Sustainability Label is much more than a compliance exercise. It turns your standards into a competitive advantage, a supply-chain position and easier access to finance.

From trust to credibility to opportunity

Opportunity strengthens competitiveness. The Sustainability Label makes that chain visible — turning what you already stand for into recognised, verifiable advantage in the market.

Any size. Any sector. Any starting point.

The Sustainability Label is open to Abu Dhabi-based companies — regardless of size, sector, or prior sustainability experience. Think this programme is not for your business? Think again.

Micro businesses

See exactly where you stand. One self assessment is all it takes — no ESG background required — and you walk away with a practical roadmap.

SMEs

Turn readiness into proof. A structured pathway replaces random effort with a standard already recognised by the partners, buyers and lenders you’re chasing.

Large enterprises

Give the board something they can verify. Not another internal report: an authentic, recognised, independent standard that demonstrates leadership.

Move the needle. In more ways.

Increasingly non-negotiable across energy, government and corporate supply chains.

Five levels. One score.

33 sustainability themes. Six maturity levels. Three dimensions: does the practice exist, is it used, and does it work. One Sustainability Maturity Score, one of five recognition levels, and a Scorecard and Assessment Report to back it up.

  1. Certificate of Appreciation0–30
  2. Bronze31–50
  3. Silver51–65
  4. Gold66–80
  5. Diamond81–100

Four award levels run Bronze to Diamond. Score 0–30 and you still walk away with a Certificate of Appreciation — recognition for taking part. Every applicant gets the Score, the Scorecard and the full Report, whichever level you reach.

No fee in 2026 — just the push your business needs. Only two moves are yours: apply, and back it with documents. We do the rest — screening, tracking, verification. You get a Sustainability Maturity Score, a Scorecard and a comprehensive Assessment Report. The Label runs for one year, then you reassess and go higher.
