in the coming years, focusing on the Majra Fund’s pivotal role in mobilizing private
sector contributions towards national development projects. They highlighted the
importance of increasing awareness campaigns on corporate social responsibility and

practices and their application across various projects and programs. A primary
objective is to enhance understanding of the critical need for the effective
implementation of these initiatives across various projects and programs.
The Board further discussed recent developments in the activities of Majra’s
initiatives, including the Policy and Strategies Committee and the Projects and Funding
Committee. They examined achievements and proposed new strategies to address
social responsibility issues and promote sustainable practices in the UAE. The
members further encouraged private enterprises to adhere to Majra’s newly
introduced mandatory disclosure plans, which require companies to regularly report
on sustainability practices and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
principles, ensuring the highest level of transparency.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the Board of Trustees reaffirmed the significance of
continued collaboration between public and private sector organisations. This
partnership is essential to achieving Majra Fund’s vision of advancing sustainable
development in the UAE and maintaining its leading position as a global hub for
corporate social responsibility
