Sarah Shaw, CEO of Majra, said: “Majra is responsible for providing the necessary frameworks and enablers to enhance the contribution of
the private sector in shaping the UAE’s sustainable future, while embedding social responsibility and sustainable impact as cornerstones of
the institutional work system. Furthermore, we remain steadfast in our efforts to establish a robust foundation for collaborations, and
sustainable impact, by supporting the approved projects and activating the reference frameworks specified under the impact index.”
The committee further reviewed updates to the Sustainable Impact Challenge, including the integration of the Majra Entity Portal and the
launch of new award categories within the challenge. These updates aim at expanding outreach and encouraging broader participation from
businesses and organisations across the UAE in this challenge, which was launched during the fourth edition of Investopia 2025.
The meeting also reviewed the roadmap of the Impact Index, a national benchmarking tool designed to measure CSR, ESG, and
sustainability performance in the private sector. It also facilitates data collection, in line with national and international frameworks, such as the
SDGs, Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and MSCI. Currently, Majra is preparing the first report, set to be released in early 2026, in
collaboration with the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre, as well as other international organisations.
At the end of the meeting, committee members reaffirmed their commitment to advancing Majra’s strategic vision by endorsing mechanisms
that promote transparency, inclusivity, and long-term impact across all initiatives and programmes.
