From Governance to Gigajoules
The report emphasizes that the group’s sustainability agenda is built on a foundation of strong corporate governance, aligning its ESG disclosures and internal processes with national strategies like the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative and the We the UAE 2031 vision.
“By combining strong governance, innovation and responsible investment, Dubai Investments remains committed to creating lasting value while contributing positively to the communities and economies in which it operates,” said Mohammed Saeed Al Raqbani, Head of the Sustainability Committee at Dubai Investments.
