What is the Impact Seal?

The Impact Seal is the official federal recognition for UAE entities’ sustainability and CSR practices. It has been developed to assess entities’ commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Social Development Goals (SDGs) policies, programmes and initiatives. It aims to promote a uniform standard for CSR and sustainability by which entities can authenticate, verify, recognize, and enhance their methods and practices.
Entities who complete the Impact Declaration’s optional questions receive the Impact Declaration Stamp, a prerequisite for the Impact Seal. For those looking to obtain the Impact Seal, additional questions will have to be filled out and based on the assessment metrics, top performing entities will be awarded one of three ranking levels: Silver, Gold or Platinum along with privileges and tailored feedback reports. Applying for the Impact Seal will ultimately help entities develop and grow their sustainability and CSR practices in the UAE and will feed into the Impact Index at an aggregate level, further supporting the UAE competitiveness worldwide.
