Fifty Qatari SMEs answered questions on energy, waste and strategy. The results suggest the first gap is not money. It is measurement.
Reporting and disclosure
You do not need complex software to know your carbon footprint. Fuel and electricity bills plus the GHG Protocol are enough for a sound start.
Reporting and disclosure
From the 2026 financial year, three Qatari regulators require the companies they oversee to report under IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. Here is what that means for listed companies and for those who work with them.

From Qatar National Vision 2030 to the national environment and climate change strategy and the ministry’s 2024–2030 plan, the targets are clear, and companies have a bigger role than it first appears.
Sustainable finance
From Qatar’s first sovereign green bond to the central bank’s sustainable finance framework and Qatar Development Bank’s green financing: a quick map of what is available to companies.
Energy
Plants totalling nearly 1,700 MW, a 4,000 MW target for 2030, and a service that lets factories and buildings connect rooftop panels to the grid. Solar is no longer only a government file.
