10/25/24, 2:52 PM National CSR Fund – MAJRA met with heads of CSR and sustainability committees in all seven emirates - Middle East Business …
“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
initiative to include these accolades with the ‘Impact Seal.’ The initiative will evaluate and
assign certain points to the private company profiles, which will enable them to qualify for this
renowned award.
The meetings were held with the main goal of exploring new mechanisms for boosting the
involvement of private enterprises in development initiatives within each emirate. Furthermore,
it aimed to direct private sector enterprises to align their efforts with the national strategy for
sustainability and the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision to attain SDGs.
