Al Zeyoudi said, “Accounting for almost 90 percent of global

businesses, MSMEs must have full access to the global trading

system if our vision of a more sustainable and equitable global

economy is to be realised. These enterprises are also

important agents of change, with the flexibility and singularity

of focus required to drive sustainability across value chains.

The development of the EcoMark Global Accreditation as an

accessible and universally recognised platform will help them

both find and compete in new markets around the world, and

meet the growing demand for sustainable products and

services.”

Al Zeyoudi said the announcement builds on the progress

made at COP’s first ever Trade Day held in Dubai last month,

where the UAE hosted a series of critical conversations on the

contribution of trade to the climate change challenge. As Chair

of the WTO’s 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) in Abu Dhabi

in February, he said EcoMark underlines the UAE’s

commitment to multilateralism and the desire to deliver full

and equal access to the global trading system.

The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2024 in Davos is

taking place under the theme “Rebuilding Trust” and has

brought together government and business leaders to engage

in constructive, forward-looking dialogues and help find

solutions through public-private cooperation.
