Leading ESG Integration in the UAE
Powered by Best In Class Technology
We help businesses across the UAE navigate ESG requirements with precision and purpose in Sustainability.
Empowering Sustainable Business Practices
​
At Wafira Group, we believe that responsible and sustainable operations aren’t a choice, they’re a business imperative. With the UAE’s landmark Federal Decree‑Law No. 11 of 2024 now fully recognizing ESG policies as mandatory for companies of all sizes, our mission is to enable swift, trustworthy, and impactful ESG integration.
The primary authority responsible for implementing and enforcing this law is the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment of the UAE (MOCCAE).
​
Our commitment is to guide UAE businesses through this critical transition, supporting not just compliance but also helping them harness ESG as a lever for reputational advantage, stakeholder confidence, and future-ready operations.
