CSR & Sustainability Report 2006
June 2007
Though perhaps the notion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) may be relatively new to the region, it is far from foreign to the integral way of life in the UAE. The concept, through basic Islamic guiding principles is deeply woven in the thread of the UAE’s history, culture and religion
Therefore, integrating such principles within the business activities of companies across the region, may prove to be, though perhaps challenging, but far from a daunting effort for DCCV
As such, a tailor-made CSR Model may well be what is necessary to bring this to the forefront of implementation strategies. This Model would then rely upon, within its guidelines, the European Foundation for Quality Management’s (EFQM’s) CSR framework in addition to drawing from leading CSR best-practices of other global
organizations.
About DCCV:
Dubai Centre for Corporate Values (DCCV) was formed by the Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone Authority (DTMFZA),, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)) and Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority (DAFZA) in June 2006, with an aim to spread corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in Dubai and the region with a local perspective. The scope of DCCV’s work will span the entire gamut of social, environmental, cultural, ethical and legal issues. It will also incorporate corporate governance practices.
