The Emirates Group has been awarded the UAE's prestigious Platinum Impact Seal for 2025–2027 by the UAE National CSR Fund, Majra. This marks the second consecutive recognition for the Group, highlighting its commitment to sustainable business practices. The award was presented to Emirates Deputy President and Chief Operations Officer Adel Al Redha by Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, under the patronage of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The Platinum Impact Seal is the highest federal recognition in the UAE for organisations demonstrating exceptional performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. The Emirates Group's sustainability efforts align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and UAE national priorities.
Adel Al Redha stated, "The Emirates Group is proud to be recognised with the Platinum Impact Seal for the second consecutive cycle, reaffirming our commitment to advancing sustainability."
The Group's Environmental Sustainability Framework focuses on reducing emissions, consuming responsibly, and preserving wildlife. Initiatives include the Green Ops programme, which saved over 98,000 tonnes of fuel in 2024–25, and the procurement of over 28,000 tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel in 2025–26. Additionally, Emirates has upcycled materials from its retrofit programme and partnered with Etihad Clean Energy Development to install solar panels at its Engineering Centre.
Dnata, part of the Emirates Group, is also making strides in sustainability by electrifying its fleet and increasing the use of alternative fuels. In 2025–26, dnata's global consumption of alternative fuels rose by 89%, and 47% of its waste was diverted from disposal.
