What is the Impact Seal?

The Impact Seal is the official federal recognition for UAE entities’ sustainability and CSR practices. Developed to assess entities’ commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Social Development Goals, it promotes a uniform standard for CSR and sustainability practices. Companies can achieve one of three ranking levels – Silver, Gold, or Platinum – based on their performance and assessment metrics. 

The Impact Seal has several key objectives: 

  • Establishing unified UAE standards to measure entities’ sustainability efforts 
  • Evaluating entities’ ESG, SDGs, and national priority efforts 
  • Providing recognition and rewards through awards, privileges, and sharing best practices 
  • Enabling continuous improvement through tailored feedback 
  • Enhancing UAE entities’ competitiveness in sustainability
