(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) March 20, 2025: MAJRA – National CSR Fund, the UAE’s leading federal
authority on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability in the private sector, hosted key private sector
companies, members of Board of Trustees, and its Impact Seal Cycle 1 winners to present sustainable impact
projects. The event, which featured high-level executives and decision-makers, focused on attracting contributions
towards these high-impact projects, as well as accelerating private sector engagement in the UAE’s sustainability
agenda. This objective will be achieved by connecting investors to initiatives stemming from the Fund’s Impact
Retreat held in November last year.
The key projects included initiatives that stood out at the Investopia 2025 summit, which emphasised sustainability
and CSR policies in line with the UAE’s vision to advance social impact and corporate responsibility in charitable
and humanitarian works. The event also featured verified sustainable impact projects, which are a carefully
curated selection of high-impact sustainability projects that have undergone rigorous assessment to ensure
alignment with national priorities and investment viability.

Other projects from the ‘Future100,’ a joint initiative between the Ministry of Economy, Government Development
and the Future Office, and Majra to recognise and support 100 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
driving sustainability and future economic competitiveness, were also present at the gathering.

H.E. Abdullah Al Saleh, Undersecretary of the Minister of Economy and Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of
Majra, emphasised the importance of private sector involvement in national efforts to enhance sustainability,
stating, “As the UAE strives to achieve its sustainable development goals, the private sector has a pivotal role in
supporting and implementing transformative projects.” H.E. further noted that the gathering marks a significant
step towards achieving the national goal of incorporating sustainability principles into the UAE’s business sector.
The gathering does not only offer a platform to shed light on these impactful projects but also contributes to
building partnerships that will drive long-term value for investors and leave a lasting positive impact on the society
in the UAE.”

The event focused on Majra’s ‘Impact Retreat’ that was held in November 2024, during which business leaders
and policymakers discussed the private sector's role in advancing national sustainability goals. The next phase of
the initiative requires implementing these ideas through in-kind and financial support and strategic partnerships to
implement projects of national priority verified by key relevant ministries and transform them into practical
solutions that will have a lasting social and environmental impact. Notably, collaborations were established with
the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health and Protection, Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology,
Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, and Ministry of Culture.
