Emirates Strategic Investment Company (ESIC) has formed a strategic partnership with Zeroe to enhance sustainability and ESG reporting across its investment portfolio, beginning with East and West International Group (EWIG).
The partnership marks a significant step forward in advancing ESIC’s sustainability ambitions through structured, data-driven infrastructure that enhances transparency, consistency, and long-term value creation.
Emirates Strategic Investment Company is an Abu Dhabi-based investment firm with a diversified portfolio spanning real estate, equity investments, and specialized investment activities.
Zeroe is an intelligent sustainability infrastructure platform that uses structured workflows and AI to help organizations across the Middle East and Southeast Asia measure, report, and reduce carbon emissions while delivering audit-ready ESG disclosures aligned with global frameworks and standards.
Together, ESIC and Zeroe are developing a robust greenhouse gas emissions baseline for EWIG that reflects its operational footprint and enables a more consistent and transparent approach to sustainability reporting.
The scope includes defining organizational and operational boundaries, enhancing data collection processes, and establishing the foundation for a scalable reporting system aligned with global best practices. This initiative reinforces ESIC’s commitment to responsible investment while positioning the organization to meet evolving regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
The initial phase of the partnership will deliver a harmonized Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions baseline for EWIG, providing clear visibility into emissions data and strengthening disclosures for regulators, investors, and customers. Future phases are expected to extend into priority Scope 3 categories, supporting deeper value chain insights and informing longer-term decarbonization strategies.

“ESIC’s decision to invest in structured sustainability infrastructure reflects a forward-looking approach to responsible growth. By starting with EWIG, we are creating a strong foundation that can scale across the portfolio as sustainability requirements continue to evolve.”
Dr. Charbel Abi Akl, Chief Sustainability Officer at ESIC, said that, “At ESIC, our commitment to ESG principles drives us to innovate for a sustainable future, encouraging social responsibility and environmental stewardship, while upholding the highest governance standards. We believe that responsible practices create lasting value for our communities and the planet.”
