The practice

What an ESG engagement involves.

ESG reporting asks an organisation to describe its environmental and social performance in a form that investors, regulators and partners can read. MuGamma works alongside the teams that hold that information, helps them decide what belongs in the report, and prepares the supporting analysis.

Disclosure expectations in the United Arab Emirates are shaped by bodies such as the Securities and Commodities Authority, Abu Dhabi Global Market and the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. MuGamma reads the requirements that apply to your organisation and builds the reporting work around them. These bodies are named here as context for the work, and no relationship with them is implied.

MuGamma provides advisory and reporting support. MuGamma does not act as an assurance provider, auditor or certification body, and makes no representation that a report prepared with its support meets any specific standard or regulatory requirement.

How it works

Four steps from scope to handover.

01

Scope the engagement

Describe your organisation, the reporting context and the decisions the work has to support. The output of this step is a written scope and a timeline.

02

Review the evidence

Work through the data your teams already hold, identify what is missing and agree how the remaining information will be gathered.

03

Draft and advise

Prepare the report content and the supporting analysis, and review each draft with the people who own the underlying data.

04

Hand over and train

Brief the in-house team so the next reporting cycle can be run internally, with training sessions where they are useful.

What the work covers

Three areas of support.

Reporting and disclosure

MuGamma supports the preparation of an ESG or sustainability report, from deciding what to disclose through to reviewing drafts with the teams that own the data.

Sustainability and climate strategy

MuGamma helps an organisation set its sustainability priorities, build an emissions and resource baseline, and turn that baseline into a plan with owners and dates.

Capacity building

MuGamma provides capacity building for in-house teams, supply-chain partners and public-sector staff. The scope and the duration are agreed for each engagement.

Who the work is for

Organisations that carry a reporting obligation.

Listed and regulated companies

A company that has to publish a sustainability disclosure needs the underlying data assembled and the narrative written to a consistent standard each year.

Groups, funds and family offices

An investor or a group holding company usually reports across several operating businesses, so the work starts by agreeing one common set of definitions.

Public-sector and contracting entities

An entity that reports into a government programme or a client contract needs its evidence organised around the requirements that programme sets.

Scope discussion

Prepare for a first conversation.

Every engagement starts with a scope discussion. Bringing the points on the right makes that conversation faster and produces a clearer proposal.
