(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Dubai, October 24 2024: The National CSR Fund – MAJRA,
the federal arm that establishes the framework and governance for Sustainable Impact and
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the UAE, hosted several consultative meetings to

discuss new partnerships and projects that promote CSR in the country and explore each
emirate’s needs, in line with key national strategies. The meeting was led by directors of the

chamber of commerce and industry in each emirate with the active involvement of heads of
various CSR and sustainability committees in all seven emirates.

Commenting on this, Sarah Shaw, Director of MAJRA, said: We are keen to further strengthen
cooperation with CSR and sustainability committees in all seven emirates and develop joint

action plans during the next phase to achieve CSR goals in the country and implement the
best environmental and social standards. This will further consolidate the UAE’s leading

position as the prosperous global community, in light of the objectives of ‘We the UAE 2031.”
“The meetings mark a new step to discuss CSR and sustainability practices’ plans in the

country, as well as review and build on the achievements made in this regard. These
meetings have been based on the latest updates on CSR plans in each emirate, as well as
efforts to support collaboration in launching awareness programs that highlight the necessity

to employ CSR and sustainability practices, thereby advancing UAE’s efforts in achieving
sustainable development goals and consolidating its position in CSR regionally and

internationally,” she added.
Additionally, the meetings saw an agreement to offer chambers of commerce of all emirates

the ‘Impact Seal Project’ package. It also encouraged members to partner with local private
sector organisations to further promote this project. The meeting confirmed that the ongoing

efforts to educate and inform these local enterprises about the vital need for mandated
disclosure of CSR activities will continue.
The meetings also decided to develop the ‘Impact Labs’ in collaboration with every emirate’s

chambers of commerce and industry next November. Apart from establishing a framework to

identify and acknowledge CSR endeavours, the discussions also led to the launch of an
