Pleased to share that I’ll soon be presenting my second research paper –
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐒𝐆 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐚𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐥𝐟” – as part of the 𝘎𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 2025 initiative.
Unlike conventional ESG ratings that stop at disclosure presence, this study dives deeper – exposing 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘴 beneath polished reports. We assessed 40 leading companies across India, UAE, and Singapore, applying a 0.0–2.0 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥, country-level heatmaps, and governance-weighted diagnostics to surface where ESG credibility stands strong – and where it quietly collapses.
This is not just another performance snapshot. It’s a whole new attempt to reframe ESG as a question of 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 – not just transparency.
🔍 Who’s symbolically compliant vs. structurally embedded?
📊 How aligned are boardrooms with their climate claims?
📉 Where does assurance fall short, and why does it matter?
A small step toward restoring integrity in ESG conversations. Looking forward to the dialogue this sparks.
