Noting that it has clear imprints in its societal contribution since its inception, as it has supported social, health, security, economic, charitable, sports sectors and projects dedicated to youth.

It is worth noting that the Dubai Chamber CSR Label is a diagnostic and development tool for companies to implement responsible/ethical business practices, as this label allows them to discover shortcomings and strengths in their strategy, and to manage the effects of their business activity on the environment and society. The Label can also be used to conduct an internal review of the responsible social policies applied in a company, and to evaluate and develop performance in all aspects.
