Silal Group and Olive Gaea Planning to Launch AI-driven ESG platform in UAE

The UAEs leading agri-food technology group, Silal Group, unveiled its highly advanced AI-driven ESG platform, ‘ZERO’, which is majorly developed by global sustainability provider, Olive Gaea, and announced it during, 'Make it in Emirates 2026’. This launch highlights a breakthrough in Silal Group’s dedicated ESG principles and its integration into their existing infrastructure. This will strengthen the authority and transparency of Silal Group and their rating position globally among investors while enhancing the internal governance and reporting mandate of Silal Groups internal systems. This is considered a milestone in achieving the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy.

According to Precedence Research, the ESG software market size accounted for USD 4.20 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 5.15 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 31.96 billion by 2035 expanding at a CAGR of 22.50% from 2026 to 2035 due to the tightening of regulations like CSRD, and the increasing demand by investors for high-quality and audit-ready data globally.

CEO of Silal Group, Mr. Dhafer AI Qasmi, said “: “At Silal Group, we embed sustainability into every facet of our operations in line with our ongoing commitment to the UAE’s vision for sustainable development. Our partnership with Olive Gaea demonstrates shared priorities to drive and champion environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance excellence through this pioneering platform.”

He further extended his agenda behind ZERO platform development by mentioning, “ZERO’ enables us to significantly advance our efforts to nurture a healthy community, diversify food sources, and contribute robustly to the UAE’s food security agenda while ensuring a positive and enduring impact for all our stakeholders-our employees, farmers, communities, and the environment.”

A recent report by Precedence Research highlights that the ESG software market is benefiting from the increasing AI integration for automation and rapid adoption of ESG platforms by SMEs across the globe to stay compliant.
