Saudi Arabia – 1 November 2026: Ecoryx has been certified by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as a GRI Certified Training Partner for the Middle East and Arab States. The certification authorizes Ecoryx to deliver training on the GRI Standards, the most widely used sustainability reporting standards in the world, to professionals and organizations across the region.

What the certification means for Ecoryx

The certification recognizes Ecoryx’s expertise in sustainability reporting. It adds certified training to the advisory and digital services we already provide to organizations in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.

It also supports a broader goal, helping organizations build in-house capability to report on their sustainability performance with transparency and credibility. Through this partnership, participants will gain internationally recognized knowledge, applied to the regional business context.

A word from our CEO

Ahmed Al Harbi, Founder and CEO of Ecoryx, said: “Becoming a GRI Certified Training Partner is an important milestone for Ecoryx. Across the Middle East and Arab States, regulators, investors and business partners increasingly expect organizations to report on their sustainability performance in a credible and comparable way. Strong reports depend on people who understand the GRI Standards and know how to apply them. Through this partnership, we will build that expertise within the region, for the region.”

Coverage across the region

As a GRI Certified Training Partner for the Middle East and Arab States, Ecoryx is authorized to deliver GRI training across the region. Its base is in MENA, where reporting requirements and expectations continue to develop.

What’s next?

Ecoryx will soon announce its first GRI training programs. Our programs are designed for:

• Sustainability and ESG professionals building their reporting expertise
• Organizations preparing their first sustainability report or strengthening an existing one.
• Teams across finance, risk, operations and communications who contribute to reporting.
