Mentor-led sustainability reporting programme purpose-built for Middle Eastern companies — mandatory local requirements (Vision 2030, UAE National Guidelines, Tadawul, DFM, ADX, IPIECA) seamlessly integrated with global standards (GRI, IFRS S1 & S2, ESRS, SASB, TCFD). Delivered by Dr. Ross Kurinko and senior practitioners.
This Certified Sustainability Reporting Course is purpose-built for Middle Eastern companies. Built on 15+ years of ESG-reporting practice across global and regional engagements, it integrates the mandatory local requirements Middle Eastern issuers face — Saudi Vision 2030, UAE National Guidelines for Sustainability Reporting, Tadawul / DFM / ADX exchange disclosures, the IPIECA industry standard — with the voluntary global frameworks investors and rating agencies look for: GRI, IFRS S1 & S2, ESRS, SASB and TCFD.
Saudi Vision 2030 · UAE National Guidelines for Sustainability Reporting · Tadawul (Saudi Exchange) ESG disclosure · DFM (Dubai Financial Market) · ADX (Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange) · IPIECA industry standard (oil & gas, energy)
GRI · SASB · TCFD · IFRS S1 & S2 (ISSB) · ESRS / CSRD (for groups with EU exposure)
A dedicated module on the Middle Eastern regulatory landscape, another on Tadawul / DFM / ADX disclosure requirements, and a third on IPIECA industry-specific standards for oil, gas and energy. Not an EU course with a regional sticker.
Most courses pick a side. This one walks through how to satisfy both Saudi Vision 2030 / UAE National Guidelines / exchange disclosures and the global frameworks (GRI, IFRS, ESRS, SASB, TCFD) with one coherent disclosure architecture — not two parallel reporting machines.
Reporting templates and tools developed for Middle Eastern context — calibrated to your sector (oil & gas / banking / real estate / utilities / manufacturing). The mentor adapts them to your data maturity and listing footprint.
The programme is mentor-led, not self-paced. Personalised one-to-one Zoom sessions with Dr. Ross Kurinko or a senior LRA mentor. We use the AI-powered LRA Study Studio to accelerate learning, but the judgement calls stay human.
100+ illustrative disclosures and 100+ real-life reporting examples from top companies, including prominent Middle Eastern reporters listed on Tadawul, DFM and ADX. Sector-aware, jurisdiction-aware, current.

Everything in the core mentorship, plus extended mentor time and line-by-line review of your sustainability report draft. Best for issuers with an active reporting cycle who want their draft pressure-tested before publication — across local exchange filings and global investor communications. Subject to mentor availability.

Routes that unlock the Club: Live Cohort · 1:1 Expert Mentorship · Applied Practice · Deep Review.
Guided Flex doesn't unlock Club membership — that's deliberate. The Club is designed for learners who chose an engaged format: live time, mentorship or applied work. It's a long-term commitment from LRA, so we reserve it for learners who made an equivalent commitment.
The GCC reporter network — for life. Completing this programme on Live Cohort, 1:1 Expert Mentorship, Applied Practice or Deep Review unlocks lifetime LRA Alumni Club membership — 30% off any future LRA course (5 new launches by end of 2026), monthly office hours with Dr. Kurinko, quarterly peer benchmarking calls under NDA, the annual Alumni Summit and an alumni-only Slack. GCC reporters from Saudi, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman share notes there year-round. Guided Flex routes don't unlock the Club.
