The National CSR Fund – MAJRA’s advisory committee conducted its fourth meeting
under the chairmanship of H.E. Abdulla Ahmed Al Saleh, Undersecretary of the UAE
Ministry of Economy and Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of MAJRA, along with
various members of the committee and representatives of various industries.

During the meeting, MAJRA evaluated its efforts to promote social responsibility and sustainable practices in the
UAE, in partnership with private sector firms. Furthermore, it revealed its performance indicators that revealed
positive outcomes in several areas, such as expanding support for community initiatives and reinforcing
government-private partnerships.

The meeting further discussed various other initiatives launched by MAJRA, including a series of workshops to
raise awareness on the significance of CSR disclosure and its practices, as well as the presentation of a proposal
for ‘Impact Labs’ to be conducted in partnership with various local stakeholders in the country.

H.E. Abdullah Al Saleh said: “The UAE has focussed on offering a strong infrastructure for the social
responsibility system based on the partnership between the government and private sectors. At MAJRA, we are
eager to continue our national efforts to develop new partnerships and initiatives aimed at offering a regulatory
framework for social responsibility, consolidating its culture among individuals, institutions and companies and
promoting private sector involvement in social contributions, resulting in a visible impact on society. Through
these initiatives, we aim to develop innovative solutions that address the societal requirements and lead to
ambitious projects that promote sustainable development and help achieve national goals.”
The meeting witnessed the presence of representatives from various emirates in the country, including Ahmed
Khalifa Al Qubaisi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, H.E. Ammar Rashid

concept of social responsibility.
