Diginex Limited (ETR:I0Q) has signed the Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Declaration, the company announced in a brief published by FinanzWire on 25 February 2026. The move formally links Diginex to the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s sustainable finance network and places the firm among more than 170 financial entities aligned with the initiative. The registration is timed as organisations across the UAE prepare to comply with the Federal Climate Law, which became effective in May 2025 and requires enhanced emissions reporting and comprehensive decarbonisation plans.
"We see our role as bridging intent and measurable impact, fostering data quality and regulatory compliance readiness," said Lubomila Jordanova, CEO of Diginex Limited, underscoring the company’s emphasis on verifiable outcomes for corporate climate action.
Context and details
The Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Declaration, launched in 2019 as a voluntary commitment, has expanded from 25 initial signatories to over 170 institutions, including banks and institutional investors. Diginex’s signature strengthens its relationship with the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s sustainable finance network and signals its readiness to assist regional clients in meeting new legal and regulatory expectations.
Diginex provides services aimed at helping organisations establish carbon benchmarks and build transition strategies. According to the FinanzWire brief, those capabilities are designed to support compliance with the UAE’s Federal Climate Law by enabling companies to deliver the "vigorous emissions reporting and decarbonisation plans" the law requires.
- Declaration launch year: 2019
- Growth in signatories: from 25 to more than 170
- Relevant legislation: UAE Federal Climate Law, effective May 2025
- National target referenced: UAE Net Zero 2050 ambitions
By joining the declaration, Diginex positions itself as a provider of technical and advisory services that translate sustainability commitments into measurable performance metrics. The company’s offerings — from carbon benchmarking to transition planning — are intended to help clients not only disclose emissions accurately but also develop actionable pathways toward lower-carbon operations in line with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 ambitions.
Outlook
The addition of Diginex to the Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Declaration comes at a time when financial institutions and corporate emitters in the UAE are increasingly subject to disclosure expectations and regulatory scrutiny. The Federal Climate Law’s emphasis on rigorous reporting and decarbonisation planning creates demand for data-driven tools and advisory support; Diginex’s public commitment signals its intent to capture that demand within the Abu Dhabi Global Market ecosystem.
FinanzWire’s brief, published 25 February 2026, frames the company’s move as part of a broader expansion of the declaration — a growth that officials and market participants have presented as evidence of rising climate accountability within the UAE’s finance sector. For Diginex, the next phase will be demonstrating how its technology and services convert the declaration’s voluntary commitments into verifiable reductions and regulatory readiness for clients across the region.
