The National CSR Fund – MAJRA hosted the ‘Impact Retreat’ event on November 29, in the presence of His Excellency
Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of MAJRA’s Board of Trustees, along with members of the
Board of Trustees and private sector companies that received the Impact Medal for Social Responsibility. The retreat’s
key goal is to motivate private sector companies to boost awareness and active involvement in social responsibility
practices, in accordance with the UAE’s environmental, social, economic and governance indicators as well as the
priorities and goals of sustainable development.

H.E. Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri emphasised that the country continues to lead in fostering social responsibility
practices through innovative initiatives that seek to achieve a sustainable positive impact on society while expressing
his appreciation for the directives of the nation’s wise leadership. Additionally, he pointed out that Impact Retreat
serves as an ideal forum that convenes renowned private sector leaders and stakeholders to forge strategic
partnerships and make concerted efforts that foster social responsibility through an elaborate national agenda that
aligns with national priorities and sustainable development goals.

H.E. Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri said: “This initiative marks a significant step in boosting the private sector’s
involvement in developing new frameworks and policies to address development challenges. It fosters innovation and
teamwork, further supporting the creation of a balanced and sustainable economy that benefits the society and future
generations in accordance with national priorities and sustainable development goals, such as the ‘National
Sustainability Strategy’ and the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.”
