    ERM, the world’s largest specialist sustainability consultancy, has announced it is establishing a new office in Abu Dhabi’s international financial centre, ADGM. This builds on ERM’s long-term presence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and represents the next step of the firm’s growth in the Middle East.

    ADGM is committed to nurturing growth, innovation and an active business community that supports local and regional economic diversification. Being part of this dynamic financial and business ecosystem will strengthen ERM’s ability to partner with clients across the UAE and broader region to advance the energy transition and accelerate diversification.

    ERM brings global insights alongside deep technical expertise to the UAE and regional markets, supporting clients across high-growth sectors including energy, metals and mining, technology, and manufacturing as they integrate sustainability into their business operations, transactions, and investment decisions.

    Peter Rawlings, Managing Partner for the Middle East at ERM said: “ERM has a 20-year history in the UAE, and we look forward to building on this presence through ADGM.

     

    “Its position as a key financial hub makes it the ideal base for ERM, as businesses within ADGM’s ecosystem and the broader Gulf region seek our sustainability expertise in critical areas including project finance, M&A, and outbound sovereign investment. Joining this vibrant business community provides ERM with more opportunities to help clients across industries in the region embed sustainability into their decision-making to mitigate risk and drive value creation.”

     

    Global investment firm KKR has owned a majority stake in ERM since 2021. “ERM’s expansion in the Middle East comes at an important time for businesses across the Gulf, as the need for high-quality sustainability expertise continues to grow,” said Rami Bibi, Managing Director and Head of Europe for KKR Global Impact.

     

    “With a global track record of supporting companies through complex sustainability and transition challenges, ERM is well positioned to help organizations across the region strengthen resilience, manage risk, and capture new opportunities. Deepening their presence in the Middle East will further enable close collaboration with clients and partners across the Gulf.”

     

    Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer at ADGM, said: “We are delighted to welcome ERM to ADGM as it expands its presence in the Middle East. At a time when the UAE is accelerating its sustainability and energy-transition agenda, ERM’s global expertise and technical capabilities will be a valuable addition to our vibrant international business community. Their decision to establish a presence within ADGM further underscores the strength of our ecosystem and our commitment to enabling companies that are shaping the future of sustainable finance, responsible investment, and long-term economic growth.”
