Majid Saif Al Ghurair, chairman, Dubai Chamber, explained the importance of the CSR Label as a symbol of recognition and inspiration, in addition to an effective development tool that has enabled so many companies to improve their CSR and sustainability strategies.

Al Ghurair said: “We are very encouraged by the growing number of honourees that we meet each time we host this ceremony, as it demonstrates the label’s ability to encourage others in the business community to adopt responsible practices.”

The honourees lauded the role of Dubai Chamber in providing them with a framework to boost their CSR performance, and an opportunity to enhance their reputation as leaders in achieving sustainability.

Since its launch, the Dubai Chamber CSR Label has provided a Diagnostic Model, as well as a learning and development tool that help companies of all sizes, sectors, and operations define and improve their corporate sustainability and responsibility strategies, policies, and management practices.
