MAJRA: 300 companies complete Impact

Declaration through Sustainable Impact Digital

Portal

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) and 60 from large corporates—demonstrating
increased interest from all economic sectors in formalising their impact and enhancing institutional
competitiveness.
The Impact Seal is awarded across two official categories: one for large companies and a newly
introduced category dedicated to SMEs, aligned with the UAE’s National SME Agenda. The Seal is
granted in three tiers—Platinum, Gold, and Silver—based on the scope and depth of corporate
impact and sustainability practices.

Launched in late 2024, the Sustainable Impact Digital Portal serves as an integrated national
platform enabling companies to submit declarations and applications in a streamlined and unified
manner. The portal also provides access to a suite of services offered by Majra, including the
documentation and accreditation of CSR and sustainability projects, certified workshops,
specialised studies, and capacity-building programs tailored to institutional needs. It ensures
alignment with national priorities and global sustainability standards.
