Sarah Shaw highlighted Majra’s role in providing frameworks that enhance private sector contributions towards sustainability. She noted, "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." The organisation remains committed to establishing collaborations that support approved projects under specified reference frameworks.

The committee also discussed updates to the Sustainable Impact Challenge, including integrating the Majra Entity Portal and launching new award
categories. These updates aim to expand outreach and encourage broader participation from businesses across the UAE. The challenge was initially
launched during Investopia 2025’s fourth edition.

The roadmap for the Impact Index was reviewed as well. This national benchmarking tool measures CSR, ESG, and sustainability performance in
line with international frameworks like SDGs. Majra is preparing its first report for release in early 2026, collaborating with both national and
international organisations.

Commitment to Transparency

At the meeting's conclusion, members reaffirmed their commitment to advancing Majra’s strategic vision. They endorsed mechanisms promoting
transparency, inclusivity, and long-term impact across all initiatives. This commitment ensures that all programmes align with Majra’s objectives for

sustainable development.
