Jennifer Suleiman, Chief Sustainability Officer of Zain Group, stated the platform will support the company in managing ESG data in compliance with complex regulatory requirements, aligning with Zain's mission to provide meaningful connectivity and empower communities.

AccelTRACK offers automated data collection, comprehensive reporting, customizable dashboards, and compliance tools, enabling Zain to centralize ESG data, reduce errors, and establish a single source of truth for ESG metrics. Sanjay Kommera, CEO of AccelESG, emphasized the platform's role in enhancing ESG reporting and positioning Zain as a sustainability leader.

This implementation is a key component of Zain's broader sustainability strategy, addressing increasing regulatory scrutiny and stakeholder expectations. For Bahwan CyberTek and AccelESG, the collaboration underscores their leadership in ESG and technology, offering solutions that integrate ESG considerations into core business operations.

Zain's adoption of AccelTRACK sets a regional precedent, highlighting the importance of ESG in business strategy, especially in sectors with significant environmental and social impacts. The platform's features will support Zain's sustainability initiatives, with potential for global expansion and further development of ESG practices.

Zain Group's implementation of AccelTRACK represents a milestone in the telecommunications industry's move towards sustainability and transparency, leveraging technology to enhance ESG reporting and compliance, and setting new standards for corporate responsibility in the region.
