Pillar III - Human Capital and Responsible Operations

Alef Education's societal contribution extends to both the education systems it serves and its own workforce.

Externally, teacher enablement is reinforced through structured professional development, classroom advisory visits, and active engagement within Alef Academy learning communities. Teacher capability development strengthens instructional quality and supports sustained platform adoption.

Internally, the Company targets 50% female representation across the organisation, supports UAE national employment programmes, and maintains 100% completion of mandatory compliance and information security training. Workforce well-being initiatives include school-fee assistance programmes and recurring professional development opportunities.

Beyond the organisation, Alef Education has committed to upskilling 3,000 community members in sustainability-related learning initiatives, extending its human capital contribution beyond direct commercial activity.

Human capital development is therefore addressed across system, organisational, and community levels.

Responsible growth incorporates environmental discipline. During the year, Alef Education recycled over 1,800 kg of electronic waste and reduced an estimated 2,693 kg of CO₂ emissions. Energy efficiency initiatives and reduced business-travel emissions contributed to measurable environmental improvement.

Alef Education received Gold and Platinum certifications from EnviroServe for responsible IT asset disposal. The Company continues to track greenhouse gas emissions, develop a formal environmental policy, explore green cloud computing initiatives, assess carbon-offset opportunities, and strengthen electronic recycling and device donation programmes.

Environmental oversight is embedded within operational planning and ESG monitoring processes.
