light of global changes and best international practices, further building upon the achievements of Majra’s key initiatives like ‘Impact
Seal’, ‘MAJRA Council’, and ‘Impact Index’.

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.
