ESG Report

Kuwait is strengthening its role in the GCC’s transition towards sustainable finance and low-carbon economic growth, in line with Kuwait Vision 2035 and regional environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments. The country’s financial sector is expanding green lending, sustainability reporting and climate-related investment frameworks, contributing to the GCC’s broader drive towards economic diversification and the energy transition.

This ESG Intelligence Report, produced in partnership with the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK), examines sustainable finance in Kuwait and the GCC, assessing the progress of banks in developing ESG-linked products, disclosure practices and responsible investment frameworks.

The publication highlights how financial institutions are mobilising green capital, fostering climate finance innovation, and enhancing transparency to attract regional and international investors. It provides insight into how ESG integration and market participation are shaping the GCC’s position as a competitive destination for sustainable and inclusive growth.
