Oman is introducing mandatory ESG reporting by adopting IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 for listed companies and FSA-regulated entities. Phased implementation begins with mandatory reporting from 1 January 2029 and Scope 3 GHG emissions disclosures from 1 January 2030, supporting Oman Vision 2040, enhancing financial transparency, and giving businesses time to strengthen governance, reporting systems, and ESG compliance.
IFRS S1 and IFRS S2
IFRS S1 – General Requirements for Sustainability-Related Financial Disclosures
A framework for reporting sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could affect an organization’s long-term value and financial performance is provided by IFRS S1. To assist investors in making well-informed decisions, it necessitates disclosures on strategy, governance, risk management, and sustainability metrics.
IFRS S2 – Climate-Related Disclosures
Organizations must report on climate risks and opportunities, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, governance, transition plans, scenario analysis, and net-zero commitments under IFRS S2, which focuses on climate-related disclosures. Investors can evaluate how companies handle climate-related financial risks thanks to these disclosures.
Business Implications of Oman’s ESG Reporting Framework
In accordance with IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, businesses must put in place structured sustainability reporting systems with precise data collection, documentation, and reporting.
Transparent ESG reporting builds trust and credibility with investors, financial institutions, and other stakeholders, supporting informed investment decisions.3.
Businesses need strong governance structures to oversee sustainability initiatives, manage ESG risks, and ensure leadership accountability.
Organizations that adopt sustainability reporting early can gain a competitive advantage, enhance their reputation, and strengthen long-term resilience.
Adopting globally recognized sustainability reporting standards improves access to international investors, lenders, and global business opportunities.
