The official list of Top 10 Environment and Sustainability Consultancies in the Gulf Cooperation Council states was released yesterday by the Asia Business Outlook (ABO). For the first time, we came to know the other companies on the list, which we had assumed were all or mainly local “startups”! To our surprise, the list includes the Boston Consulting Group (Dubai), Ernst & Young (Qatar), Deloitte (Saudi Arabia), McKinsey & Company (Kuwait), KPMG (Bahrain) and other deserving giants. Jula is listed 6th. The explanatory note with the release states that: “Top 10 Environment and Sustainability Consultants in the GCC 2025 – who have made their signature in the world market through their expertise and innovations. The following list has been prepared after being closely scrutinized by a distinguished panel of judges including CXOs, analysts and our editorial board. We recognize their valuable contribution to the ever expanding and competitive market and their ability to sustain themselves through their reliable products and services.” For the complete list and reports, visit:

This unsolicited and unexpected recognition will never make us feel we are as tall as the giants on this list. However, it makes us appreciate the following: 1. Our numerous friends and clients who have quietly drawn the ABO’s attention to the tiny African business (in the Middle East) with a global reach; 2. Our sincerity in doing what we do in a multidisciplinary arena, including impactful ESG publications and proposals, Islamic finance, sustainable mining, strategic management and ICT (AI research and software development); 3. Our presence, which is today felt not only in university libraries but in countries as diverse as Saudi Arabia, Canada, United Kingdom, and China, in companies as diverse as triple A-rated financial institutions and the biggest utilities on the London Stock Exchange and in the Dubai Financial Market, in our High-level Webinar Series on Africa which is involving into a brand name, and in our ability to predict the behaviour of gold and prospects of gold mining startups. As the gold price hit the $3,000/oz mark and unknown exploration companies we have quietly drawn attention to moved into the limelight, some seemed to have remembered us.
