Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a process with the aim to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere who may also be considered as stakeholders.
Socially responsible companies can act in a number of ways to benefit society, be it by giving money to the arts, funding academic scholarships, supporting community, building initiatives, and so on.
At Dubai Golf, we are committed to doing business in a way that benefits our customers, employees and shareholders and has a positive impact on our members, residents, guests and the wider community in Dubai.

Sustainable Water Bottle Initiative
Dubai Golf has launched a plastic free campaign that will say goodbye to all single-use plastic bottles across its five golf courses. Taking further strides in sustainability, from today, all members and visitors will instead receive a reusable aluminum water bottle as part of a partnership with Dell Technologies.
The eco-friendly campaign eliminates a staggering 785,000 plastic bottles used annually from Dubai Golf courses – equating to more than 1.2 million ounces less Carbon Dioxide being released into the atmosphere.
