Our Approach
Sustainability
Management System
Implementing a comprehensive sustainability management system ensures efficient resource utilization, reduces environmental impact, and enhances public health outcomes.
In order to promote positive sustainable practices, the Board of Directors and Executive Management play a key role in determining the strategic areas of the Group’s sustainability activities and overseeing their results.
Business Development

In response to the growing importance of sustainability to Burjeel Holding’s operations, the Group has elected to establish the Business Development and Sustainability Committee which serves as a strategic hub, providing oversight to the integration of various sustainability initiatives into the Company’s broader sustainability framework.
Sustainability remains an important objective for the Group, and we are beginning our important mission to integrate ESG principles formally into our business model and strategy.
