On the sidelines of the event, several sessions and meetings were held to reinforce Majra's lead role in
fostering sustainability in various industries. A key session at the event featured H.E. Abdullah Al Saleh,

sector involvement, ongoing environmental hurdles and ways to find adequate solutions, and the need for
stronger regulatory frameworks that require organisations to implement CSR practices.

Another key session titled, ‘The Role of Public, Private and Third Sector in Developing an Impact Economy,'

thought leaders including Dr. Habiba Al Marashi, Chairperson and Co-Founder, Emirates Environmental
Group, Chandran Nair, Founder and

H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri. The meeting laid the groundwork for future collaboration and set the direction
for a unified roadmap to promote sustainability within the fashion industry.

The Sustainable Impact Challenge 2025 stands as a testament to Majra's unwavering commitment towards
establishing a thriving ecosystem that encourages and supports CSR initiatives in line with the UAE's
strategic development goals.
