Sheikh Mansour launches Companies for Good strategy to boost impact economy

Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister, has launched the Companies for Good 2031 Strategy to "strengthen the UAE's position as a leading global model in community sustainability and philanthropy".

It establishes a comprehensive national framework to advance the Impact Economy in the private sector and enhance the competitiveness of the UAE's CSR, ESG and Sustainability ecosystem.

The announcement was made at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi, on the sidelines of the Cabinet Committee for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy.

"The role of these organisations extends beyond economic growth to delivering Sustainable Impact that enhances quality of life and supports the sustainability of society and the environment," highlighted Sheikh Mansour, who also holds the position of the Chairman of the Presidential Court.

He affirmed that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Impact are fundamental pillars of the UAE leadership's vision for advancing the prosperity of people and society.

Sarah Shaw, Chief Executive Officer of Majra – National CSR Fund, said, the Strategy "provides a comprehensive national framework that enables the private sector to maximise its contribution to Sustainable Impact while advancing the Impact Economy in support of the UAE's National Priorities".

Sheikh Mansour also honoured winners of the Impact Seal, which was established to recognises outstanding contributions to creating Sustainable Impact.
