Supported by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) and sponsored by Dolphin Energy, the programme aims to equip businesses and professionals with the skills and knowledge to integrate natural capital into decision-making processes. The course provides practical tools to address sustainability challenges, manage environmental and social impacts, mitigate risks, and unlock growth opportunities.

The programme also focuses on setting impactful sustainability goals and integrating innovative practices within organisations.
Huda Al Houqani, Director of ADSG, emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating, “Companies must proactively integrate the value of nature and natural resources into their decision-making processes. This collaboration with Capital Coalition is a strategic step towards equipping entrepreneurs with tools to lead the transition to a zero-emission and sustainable future.”
