Together, We Can Build a More Transparent and Sustainable MENA
Fueling Accountability and Sustainable Growth
WADI Rating’s mission is to equip the MENA region with the ESG intelligence, benchmarks, and integrity standards needed to support a fair, transparent, and accountable transition toward sustainable growth.
We exist to measure ESG maturity, illuminate progress, and guide collective action across public and private sectors — through regionally adapted indices, ratings, and open-access research.
By fostering trusted partnerships and upholding the highest standards of independence, we enable governments, investors, and enterprises to make confident decisions in a rapidly evolving sustainability landscape.
