Our ESG Commitment

About us

At Palm Holdings Limited, we are committed to creating lasting, positive impact. Guided by this purpose, we are formalizing our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework and reinforcing our long-term sustainability commitment by allocating 2.5% of our profit after tax (PAT) towards projects that deliver measurable, transparent, and monetizable ESG outcomes.

Our ESG function is led by Chief ESG Officer Lija Ivanova, a seasoned finance and compliance professional with extensive experience in risk management, regulatory governance, and sustainability initiatives. Under her leadership, Palm Holdings ensures that every ESG initiative aligns with international best practices, investor expectations, and the UAE Vision 2031 and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2, 3, 7, 9, and 13).

Our Purpose & Targets

Net-Zero & Nature-Positive: Achieve net-zero Scope 1–2 emissions by 2035 and reduce Scope 3 emissions by 45%; deliver nature-positive impacts by 2030 through responsible sourcing and restoration initiatives.

Inclusive Prosperity: Increase SME participation to 30% of procurement and achieve 50/50 gender balance in graduate intakes by 2028.

Transparency & Accountability: Adopt WEF Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics (SCM) and TCFD/ISSB-aligned reporting from our first reporting year.



Strategic ESG Pillars

Net-Zero & Circular Growth: Investing in renewable energy, high-efficiency retrofits, waste-to-value systems, and responsible water use across our operations.

People

Workforce, Community & Global Wellbeing: Advancing safe, fair, and future-ready jobs while promoting gender balance, Emiratization, and heritage-linked community programs. Through our food sustenance and health clinic initiatives in remote parts of Ghana — and progressively across broader Africa — we contribute directly to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being).

Governance

Through monetizable ESG projects — including renewable energy, circular economy initiatives, blue carbon restoration, and green finance instruments — we aim to generate both financial ROI and environmental impact.
