300 Companies Complete the Impact Declaration

                         through the Sustainable Impact Digital Portal




                   •  Strengthening transparency, institutional accountability,

                       and sustainability practices across the UAE private sector


                   •  In line with its ongoing efforts to promote transparency
                       and institutionalize responsible corporate practices

               04 August 2025: Majra– National CSR Fund announced that nearly 300

               companies have successfully completed the mandatory Impact Declaration through
               the Sustainable Impact Digital Portal. This milestone marks a significant step in
               embedding sustainability and governance principles across the private sector and
               represents the first phase in the process of applying for the Impact Seal, a federal
               recognition for companies demonstrating measurable contributions to the UAE’s
               sustainable development.
               The Impact Declaration serves as a unified federal tool to assess a company’s
               disclosure of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts, Corporate Social
               Responsibility (CSR) practices, and actual contributions to the UAE community—be it
                 financial, in-kind, or volunteer-based.


               Commenting on this development, Sarah Shaw, CEO of Majra, noted that the
               increasing engagement with the Impact Declaration and applications for the Impact
               Seal reflect a growing institutional commitment within the private sector toward
               transparency and measurable action. She stated, “At Majra, we are building a
               nationwide institutional environment grounded in documentation, impact
               measurement, and results-driven partnerships. Through the Sustainable Impact
               Digital Portal, we empower companies to transform their commitments into
               measurable contributions that serve society and advance the UAE’s vision for
                 sustainable corporate responsibility.”

               In parallel with this growing participation, Majra received approximately 160
               applications for the second cycle of the Impact Seal through the digital portal. The
                 applications included around 100 from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
