The problems we solve
We do not know where to start
ISSB guidance is dense, materiality takes time, and frameworks overlap confusingly.
GHG calculations are error-prone
Scope 1, 2 and 3 factors change every year, and manual calculation risk grows over time.
Industry-specific metrics are hard to pin down
IFRS S2 expects industry-based metrics, which most teams struggle to identify for their sector.
Writing narratives takes weeks
Drafting IFRS-quality disclosure text by hand is slow, and keeping it compliant is manual.
We cannot prove compliance
Evidence is scattered, and linking disclosures to source documents is manual and fragile.
Advisory is expensive and recurring
External ISSB advisory is costly and creates a dependency for every annual update.

Frequently asked questions
Is IFRS S1 and S2 mandatory in the UAE?
Not yet as issued. What is mandatory today is the annual sustainability report that ADX and DFM listed companies must file under SCA rules, within 90 days of year-end or before the AGM. The ADX and DFM ESG guides are ISSB-aligned, so IFRS S1 and S2 is the recommended, best-practice basis, and the UAE is expected to move toward formal adoption. Building your report to IFRS S1 and S2 meets the current requirement and future-proofs you.
What about the UAE Climate Law?
The UAE Climate Change Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024) is a separate federal mandate: all entities, including free zones, must measure and report greenhouse gas emissions to MOCCAE, with full compliance by 30 May 2026 and penalties up to AED 2 million. It is a GHG-inventory duty, not the listed-company report. Use EcoLedger's Carbon Accounting Software for it, the same inventory also feeds this ISSB report.
Do I need sustainability expertise to use this?
No. The workflow is designed for finance and sustainability teams without prior ISSB experience, guiding you through each requirement with explanations and templates, and help text throughout.
Which emission factors are included?
DEFRA and IEA factors for Scope 1, 2 and 3, matched to your reporting year, with IEA grid factors for international operations. New factor editions are added each year and included with your licence.
Can I use this for multiple entities?
Yes. You can set up multiple entity profiles within a single licence, each with its own metrics and disclosure set, which suits groups reporting on subsidiaries or consolidated scenarios.
How does this compare to hiring a consultant?
An initial UAE ISSB reporting project with a consultant typically costs £15,000 to £25,000. EcoLedger is £5,900 for the reporting year, and you own the process and can repeat it each year. You can still use advisers for materiality or governance if you wish, but the heavy lifting is done for you.
Are future ISSB amendments included?
Yes. As the ISSB issues amendments or new standards, the tool is updated, and emission factors refresh automatically, included with your annual licence.
Where is my data stored, and is it secure?
You choose. Your data can stay entirely on your own computer, in your browser, or you can sign in to sync it securely and use EcoLedger from any device. Sign-in is passwordless, a single-use code sent to your email, your data is only ever transferred over an encrypted connection, on enterprise-grade hosting, and everything is exportable at any time.
