(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Dubai, October 29, 2024: The National CSR Fund – MAJRA
conducted several visits to the UAE’s economic development departments in an effort to

reinforce its strategies aimed to strengthen its partnerships with government sector
organisations. Furthermore, the visits aimed at guiding private sector companies to support

the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the UAE’s national priorities and
encouraging them to adopt responsible and sustainable practices that will pave the way

towards creating a positive impact on society.
This comes as part of the endeavours of MAJRA, which establishes the framework and

governance for Sustainable Impact and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the UAE to
consolidate the UAE’s world-leading position in social responsibility and sustainability

initiatives by maintaining active partnerships with government sector organisations. The Fund
also urges private sector companies to play a pivotal role in this process.

Sarah Shaw, Director of the National CSR Fund – MAJRA, said: “We aim to expand the
possibilities of social impact by promoting sustainable practices among the largest possible
segment of private sector, helping them become more aware of their immense social

responsibility and key role in driving the growth and prosperity of the national economy. In this
light, we constantly try to empower organisations involved in the Social Impact Seal project by

highlighting positive aspects that are reflected in these companies’ focus on social,
environmental and developmental components of their respective industries. In order to attain

this, we look forward to reinforcing our cooperation with more firms and institutions and
inspiring them to consolidate their commitment to social responsibility practices.”

Furthermore, Shaw highlighted the pivotal role of the UAE’s economic development
departments in supporting MAJRA’s efforts to promote social responsibility disclosures from
the country’s private sector enterprises, which is one of the key axes linked to strategic data

initiatives for social responsibility. She further stated that the latest meetings held with
