4/30/25, 9:31 AM Majra National CSR Fund Reviews Key Community Initiatives And Approves New Frameworks To Enhance Corporate Social Respo…

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.
