The Sustainability Forum Middle East features expert-led workshops from KPMG, UNDP, and Anthesis that focus on credible net-zero roadmaps, carbon markets, pricing, Article 6 mechanisms, and linking sustainability to financial performance while avoiding greenwashing.

Upcoming sessions outline KPMG’s future-proofing and responsible sourcing in the GCC, UNDP’s guide to navigating carbon markets for public and private sectors, and Anthesis’ emphasis on measurable value through sustainability-driven growth.
