The Dubai Business Women Council (DBWC), hosted its October Network Majlis alongside Joshua Rajkumar from
The Sustainability Platform. The workshop focused on maximizing the positive impact organizations have on
society and its bottom line.
The highly interactive session, which is designed for c-suite, executives and entrepreneurs focused on innovation
within the organization, is popular among institutes within Dubai and London for global MBA students as well as
for entrepreneurs.
“Regardless of the size of any business, corporate social responsibility should be an important factor of its
operating model,” said HE Dr. Raja Easa Saleh Al Gurg, President of DBWC. “An organization can impact society on
various levels and as a business owner and proactive supporter of sustainability, it is important to understand how
to implement strategic methods internally that then support external community initiatives”.
Joshua is a co-founder of The Sustainability Platform, an innovative social impact consultancy that operates out of
Dubai, focused on maximizing and measuring social impact for CSR programs, NGOs, SMEs and social enterprises in
the Middle East, South Asia, and the Caribbean. Under this, he is the Head of MENA for Hult Prize, the world’s
largest social enterprise accelerator with a USD 1 million seed-capital prize tackling the planet’s most pressing
problems.
