Dubai Holding was created in 2004 to consolidate and lead Dubai's large-scale infrastructure and investment projects. We are committed to improving every aspect of life in the region by investing in life-improving industries.
Our achievements have helped build the success and prosperity of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the surrounding region. This includes the creation of a world-class commercial and physical infrastructure that attracts multinational companies from around the globe, and our work with the Government of Dubai to promote Dubai as a role model and catalyst for the region’s economic and social development. Our strategy is in tune with the Government’s Dubai Strategic Plan for 2015, which gives targets, initiatives and milestones for the economy and for society.
We are committed to our people
Our people are an integral part of our success. We are committed to further education, skills training and mentoring at every stage of our employees' careers. This commitment to lifelong learning unlocks individual potential and rewards achievement while improving our employees' lives and prospects. We launched our "Future Leaders Programme" in 2007 to ensure our leadership expertise for the future.
We are committed to our community
Good corporate citizenship is central to our plans and our vision for sustainable long-term growth. We believe that any measure of our success must be judged against the success of our society. We continue to develop and implement the highest standards of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), in social and community-orientated projects. We have seen rapid progression in healthcare, education, charity and environmental sustainability.
We are committed to protecting the environment
We are working to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment by constantly looking for innovative technology to reduce adverse effects. Our developments are subject to the most stringent environmental studies, and wherever possible we seek to protect and enhance the sustainability of surrounding ecosystems.
We are committed to the highest standards
Our commitment to transparency in corporate governance is central. In 2007 we appointed independent non-executive directors and established executive boards for our seven member companies.This strengthens our internal controls and operational capabilities, while increasing Group oversight and adding to the skills and expertise of our people.
