Phase 2: ESG Data Infrastructure

✔ Built a centralized ESG dashboard with 85+ KPIs mapped to GRI & Tadawul standards.
✔ Automated data collection from energy meters, HR, and procurement systems.

Phase 3: ESG Reporting & Disclosure

✔ Incorporated crosswalks for CDP and SASB ratings support.

Phase 4: Strategic Positioning
