The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is a global, CEO-led organization of over 200 leading businesses working together to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world. In 2026, the WBCSD acts as a primary "Strategic Bridge" for the Sultanate, helping Omani corporations and government entities align their operations with international ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards. Its work is deeply integrated with the "Conscious Living" philosophy, focusing on how industrial expertise can turn environmental challenges into economic opportunities.

 

Key 2026 Functions:

  • CO_LAB Model: A specialized framework for public-private collaboration that helps Omani businesses and the government co-invest in solving systemic sustainability problems.

  • Nature-Based Solutions: Providing the technical roadmaps for Omani companies in agriculture and energy to use "Nature as a Driver" of resilience and performance.

  • Circular Carbon Economy: Working alongside partners like the IFC to scale carbon recycling technologies (like SAF) across the Middle East.

  • System Transformation: Helping Omani firms redefine corporate value by measuring "Natural and Social Capital" alongside traditional financial profits.
