Introduction

Welcome to the Impact Seal Campaign (“Campaign”), organised by Majra National CSR Fund (“Majra”), a United Arab Emirates (UAE) government entity dedicated to promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability initiatives within the UAE. The purpose of this campaign is to recognise and certify organisations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to sustainable practices and impactful CSR activities. By participating in this campaign, organisations have the opportunity to earn the prestigious Impact Seal certification, which is awarded at Silver, Gold, or Platinum levels based on the evaluation of their CSR efforts.

Eligibility

To participate in the Campaign, organisations must be legally established in the UAE and cannot be sole proprietorships, freelancers, or cooperatives. Participants must be in good legal standing with no ongoing legal or criminal investigations. Additionally, organisations must have been operational for at least one full calendar year and must maintain their legal status throughout the evaluation period. All submitted materials must be in Arabic or English.

Campaign Duration

The Campaign will commence on 26 February 2025 and conclude on 26 May 2025. All applications must be submitted within this designated application window. Late submissions will not be accepted. Key deadlines, including the application submission deadline and the award ceremony date, will be communicated to participants in due course.

How to Participate

To participate in the Campaign, an authorised representative of the organisation must log in to the Majra Entity Portal using their personal UAE Pass, which is used for authorisation only. Once logged in, the representative (“User“) must provide the organisation’s authority-issued trade license or certificate, along with other required information, including the Company Profile and Impact Declaration detailing the organisation’s CSR activities. The User must complete the Campaign application honestly and provide evidence as requested.

If the organisation qualifies as a Small and Medium Enterprises under Majra’s classification (based on the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism classification), a tailored version of the Campaign application will be presented. The completed application must be submitted within the designated application window.

Responsibilities of Participants

Participants are expected to provide accurate and verifiable information in their applications. False declarations may result in immediate disqualification and potential legal action. Organisations must maintain the standards required for certification throughout the certification period and participate in knowledge-sharing activities led by Majra. Regular updates on sustainability initiatives may be required, and winners must notify Majra of any major organisational changes.

Prize Award

Organisations that meet Majra’s minimum criteria will be evaluated for Silver, Gold, or Platinum certification based on the information provided in their applications and the assessment and evaluation metrics. The certification is valid for two years, and Majra reserves the right to revoke the certification if necessary.

Winners will be required to follow Majra’s branding guidelines when using the seal and must report significant changes in operations during the certification period. A member of the company’s C-suite must attend the award ceremony, and attendees may undergo a security clearance.
