About Us
Who We Are
Planet First is a sustainability consultancy based in the UAE, helping businesses integrate sustainability into everyday operations with confidence and clarity. We believe sustainability should be accessible, actionable, and grounded in sound science—not limited to large corporations with dedicated sustainability departments.
We work closely with small and medium‑sized enterprises, as well as growing and export‑oriented companies, to build credible sustainability systems that stand up to regulatory, customer, and third‑party scrutiny.
Why We Exist
Many organizations struggle to keep pace with evolving sustainability expectations—from ESG reporting and carbon disclosure to EcoVadis assessments and product environmental documentation. Planet First was established to bridge the gap between complex sustainability frameworks and real‑world business capability in the UAE and the wider region.
Our role is to make sustainability understandable and implementable—without compromising technical quality or compliance.
More Than Consultants — We're Your Partners
We break down complex concepts such as ESG, GHG accounting, LCA, EPD, and ISO management systems into practical, industry‑relevant steps. Whether a company is starting its sustainability journey or strengthening existing systems, we act as a trusted extension of the internal team.
Our approach emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and long‑term capability building.
