Sustainability & ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) have become fundamental considerations for businesses, investors, and policymakers worldwide. As global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, social inequality, and corporate accountability gain prominence, organizations are increasingly expected to integrate sustainability into their operations and decision-making processes.
In Oman, the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) has introduced mandatory ESG disclosure requirements for listed companies, underscoring the Sultanate’s commitment to sustainable finance. This aligns with Oman Vision 2040, which emphasizes responsible business practices and environmental stewardship. Crowe Oman supports organizations in meeting these local mandates while also aligning with international standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—ensuring your ESG disclosures are credible, transparent, and globally benchmarked.
ESG factors help identify long-term risks, such as climate-related disruptions or reputational damage. Ignoring ESG-related risks can result in significant financial and operational consequences. In sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics—core to Oman’s economic diversification—climate change, water scarcity, and supply chain ethics pose real threats. Our ESG advisory services are designed to help organizations proactively assess, mitigate, and disclose these risks. We work with clients to integrate ESG into their enterprise risk frameworks, thereby strengthening business continuity and regulatory resilience.
Sustainable investments are growing rapidly, with investors favoring companies with strong ESG practices. Investors, both regional and international, are increasingly scrutinizing ESG metrics before making capital allocation decisions. ESG-aligned companies are not only more attractive to institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds but are also seen as lower-risk, future-ready assets. With our deep understanding of capital markets and MSX disclosure expectations, Crowe Oman helps you craft compelling sustainability reports that resonate with investor priorities and demonstrate your commitment to responsible growth.
Companies with robust ESG strategies attract talent, build brand trust, and enhance stakeholder relationships. In today’s purpose-driven world, ESG is central to reputation management and stakeholder engagement. Organizations that prioritize environmental responsibility, social equity, and strong governance are better positioned to attract top talent, forge strategic partnerships, and earn the trust of consumers. Crowe Oman helps you leverage ESG as a catalyst for competitive differentiation—whether through transparent reporting, meaningful KPIs, or aligning sustainability efforts with business strategy and community impact.
The Financial Services Authority has announced a phased roadmap for the implementation of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 Sustainability Disclosure Standards, targeting full compliance across Oman’s non-banking financial sector by 2029.
Aligned with Oman Vision 2040 and the national net-zero strategy, the policy aims to enhance transparency, attract sustainable investment, and align Oman’s sustainability reporting with global ISSB standards.
At Crowe Oman, we support organizations in building ESG readiness — from data alignment to full sustainability reporting under IFRS S1 & S2.
