Dubai, October 23, 2023: Alef Education, a UAE‐based global leader in educational
technology, has received the Platinum Award in the Education and Awareness category at the
prestigious Global ESG Awards, underscoring its commitment to promoting sustainable
development and advancing education in line with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).

The Global ESG Awards, an annual celebration of excellence in environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) practices, acknowledges organizations worldwide for their dedication to
sustainable growth and positive social impact. With 20 categories aligned to the 17
Sustainable Development Goals, these awards are a benchmark for companies committed to
making a difference in the global community.

Alef Education’s commitment to education goes beyond conventional boundaries. It focuses
on raising awareness of critical issues such as climate change and green education while
promoting sustainable practices among students. This commitment led to the launch of the
Alef EcoChamps program in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Cambridge
Partnership for Education — a department of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, and
the Carbon Literacy Project. This innovative program aims to educate and empower students
to advocate for environmental sustainability and raise a generation of responsible global
citizens.

Alef Education is a strategic partner at the Education Pavilion at COP28, held at Expo City,
Dubai. In addition, the company is actively participating in the Educators Voice initiative
launched by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Office for Climate Education.
This initiative provides a platform to recognize the commitment and efforts of educators in
promoting climate awareness and integrating climate change issues into the curriculum.

Dr. Aishah Al Yammahi, Board Advisor at Alef Education, said: “We are very proud of this
award as it is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing students with a
comprehensive learning experience while advocating for sustainable education and
environmental awareness. We believe in the central role of education in raising awareness
and laying the groundwork for a sustainable future. That is why we strive to provide students
with the knowledge they need to understand the complexities of climate change and
motivate them to take the initiative and effectively contribute to promoting sustainability and
protecting the environment.”
