Our governance structure ensures that accountability for integrating sustainability into our business strategy and operations sits at the highest level within the organisation.

In March 2023, we developed our Group’s Sustainability Commitment that outlines the key sustainability priorities we believe are essential for us to deliver value to all our stakeholders today, tomorrow and for generations to come. Through our Sustainability Commitment we strive to abide by the highest ethical business and human rights standards and practices as per the Dubai Holding Code of Conduct.

In 2024, Dubai Holding advanced its sustainability governance with its Responsible Investment Policy aligned with UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) standards. This framework integrates environmental, social and governance factors into investment decisions. Our team completed PRI Academy training to ensure effective implementation. Additionally, the Dubai Holding Environmental Policy was introduced, translating our sustainability vision into actionable commitments, reinforcing our dedication to innovation-led growth and environmental stewardship for a sustainable future. Our Philanthropy Committee oversees the Group’s philanthropy initiatives, evaluating projects against defined criteria, allocating budgets and ensuring alignment with Dubai Holding’s policies and broader strategic objectives.

Dubai Holding integrates sustainability into its governance through robust monitoring and reporting. Using the Sphera Corporate Sustainability Software, aligned 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 are developing science-based plans to reduce our carbon footprint and strengthen climate resilience.
