Governance
Our governance structure ensures sustainability is embedded into decision-making, with clear accountability at the highest level of the organisation. Through defined roles, robust oversight and disciplined reporting, we integrate sustainability into our business strategy and day-to-day operations.
Our initiatives strengthen accountability and transparency, ensuring sustainability is reflected in decisions across the Group.
In March 2023, we introduced our Group Sustainability Commitment, setting out the priorities we believe are essential to creating value for stakeholders today, tomorrow and for generations to come. Through this Commitment, we uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and respect for human rights, aligned with the Dubai Holding Code of Conduct.
Dubai Holding’s sustainability agenda is led by the Head of Sustainability under the Group Chief Impact Officer, working closely with Sustainability Directors across all Group companies to embed ESG into daily operations, planning and long-term strategy. Progress and accountability are driven through the CEO Sustainability Forum, chaired quarterly by the Group Chief Executive Officer, aligning priorities across leadership. ESG performance is linked to executive scorecards, decisions and remuneration, supported by responsible investment due diligence, while a cross-functional Philanthropic Committee ensures community initiatives are governed effectively and deliver lasting impact.
We integrate sustainability into our governance through robust monitoring and reporting. In alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative framework, we track key metrics quarterly. ESG risks, including climate change, are managed via our Enterprise Risk Management framework. As signatories of the UAE Climate-Responsible Companies Pledge, we have developed science-based plans to reduce our carbon footprint and strengthen climate resilience.
