The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the Financial Services Institute (FSI) Egypt and in collaboration with the GRI, IFRS Foundation and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), has conducted a workshop on sustainability frameworks under the EU-led Sustainability Disclosure and Management Hubs (SDMH) Programme.

The session followed a series of online webinars and was designed to bridge theory and practice, providing participants with a deeper understanding of how global sustainability standards can be applied effectively at the national level. Egyptian experts and stakeholders shared perspectives on the practical aspects of sustainability reporting and management, contributing insights into the local implementation challenges and opportunities.

Participants examined how various sustainability frameworks intersect and complement one another, offering a more integrated approach to corporate sustainability. The workshop also forms part of broader efforts to support Egypt in meeting both national and international sustainability requirements, aligning with the objectives of the EU-led Sustainable Finance Advisory Hub.

UNDP said the collaboration reinforces ongoing work to advance sustainable finance, enhance reporting practices and strengthen the capacity of institutions across Egypt’s financial sector.
