The opportunity

As sustainability becomes increasingly important for customers, investors, regulators and communities, so does the demand for information about Emirates NBD’s environment, social and governance (ESG) strategy, environmental commitments, disclosures, performance and initiatives.

Finding ESG-related information often meant navigating lengthy sustainability reports, disclosures and website content spread across multiple sources. At the same time, many enquiries covered similar topics and required manual responses from ESG specialists, making it difficult to provide timely support across different geographies and time zones.

We wanted to make sustainability information easier to access, enabling stakeholders to find answers quickly, while allowing our ESG specialists to dedicate more time to advancing Emirates NBD’s sustainability ambitions.
