SAUDI ARABIA – Dun & Bradstreet Saudi Arabia has been recognized with the esteemed “Best Business Sustainability Company” award at the World ESG Summit in Al Khobar, KSA, underscoring its dedication to promoting sustainability and responsible investment.

He also participated in a panel discussion on “Sustainable Finance and ESG Reporting: Opportunities for Saudi Arabian Companies,” emphasizing the crucial role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the global ESG landscape.
Highlighting statistics that show SMEs contribute significantly to global GDP and job creation, Mr. Lakhani underscored the importance of including SMEs in the ESG agenda.
He also discussed navigating the complexities of current and future ESG regulations, emphasizing the practical applications of Dun & Bradstreet’s ESG products, ESG Intelligence, and ESG RegisteredTM, for businesses.
