Our ESG Philosophy

The greatest challenge of the 21st century is balancing the economic growth needed to meet the needs of an ever-growing population with preserving the Earth’s ecosystem for future generations. As a leading higher education provider in the UAE and MENA region, we at NEMA Holding have been committed to fostering sustainable development since our inception. We are in the business of education and learning, so bear the responsibility of preparing future leaders to tackle global challenges and ensure the planet is hospitable for future generations. Our belief that research and education have a huge role to play in the sustainable development of our communities and our planet is unwavering.

Our ESG Dimensions

To implement and actualize our ESG vision, we reviewed the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and mapped them into our three ESG dimensions: Empowering Our People, Investing in Our Communities, and Caring for Our Planet.

Empowering Our People

Before we can change the world, we must live by our values and instil them in our employees. We manage our people with respect and nurture a commitment to helping us reach these goals. The UN SDGs most relevant to this are health and wellness, gender equality, and the provision of a decent work environment.

Investing in Our Communities

As a company, we are only as successful as the communities in which we operate. The good work we do in communities will also help us recruit more people on our journey to promote inclusive and sustainable development. The UN SDGs relevant to this dimension are combating income inequalities, providing quality education, and sustainable development.

Caring for Our Planet

Earth consists of many interconnected communities, and we hope our efforts within our communities will create a ripple effect that will help us positively impact the planet. The UN SDGs relevant to this dimension are tackling global warming and climate change, sustainable development and consumption, sustainable management of water resources, and development of green energy infrastructure.
