As the UAE enforces stricter emissions rules and accelerates its Net Zero 2050 journey, tracking Scope 3 emissions, those generated across your supply chain, has shifted from optional to essential.
New UAE Regulations Demanding Action
Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 mandates all UAE entities, including free-zone companies, to measure, track, and report Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with an expectation to eventually include Scope 3 metrics.
The UAE also created a National Carbon Credit Registry (Cabinet Decision No. 67 of 2024), requiring mandatory emissions tracking and verified carbon credits for large emitters, states the Library of Congress.
More than 9,300 industrial firms, several thousand retailers, and nearly 200 financial institutions are now required to comply with GHG monitoring and reporting rules.
Why Supplier (Scope 3) Tracking Matters
Scope 3 emissions, often referred to as ‘other people’s carbon’, forms the largest share of an organization’s total footprint. The UAE’s mandate for GHG MRV systems aims to broaden accountability and ensure that emissions aren’t merely outsourced. Companies unable to trace their upstream emissions could face regulatory risk, miss carbon credit opportunities, and lose credibility with global buyers.
