JUBAIL, Saudi Arabia, July 28, 2020 -- Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara) recently unveiled its 2019 Sustainability Report during its Second Sustainability Seminar which took place virtually for employees. This is the second annual Sadara Sustainability Report – the first was published last year and marked Sadara as the first Saudi Aramco joint venture to produce such report according to GRI standards. 

The Virtual Seminar was conducted by Sadara’s Sustainability team and led by Dr. Abdullah Alahmari, Sadara’s Vice President of Business & Services and Chairman of the Sadara Sustainability Committee, who took the audience through the company’s sustainability journey and achievements for 2019 and beyond. 

The session concluded with Alahmari unveiling the 2019 Sustainability Report for Sadara employees. Hundreds attended the seminar, demonstrating how the company’s workforce is very serious about learning and pursuing sustainable strategies whenever possible.

Dr. Abdullah Alahmari noted that the Sadara Sustainability Committee was created to develop an ambitious Sustainability Roadmap for the company. He said: “The Committee will also focus on stakeholder concerns to better prioritize our materials and activities. As a new and growing company, Sadara realizes that such a dynamic approach requires swift and agile responses to the changes around us. Our annual Sustainability Report will streamline our efforts and achievements, moving us toward a more sustainable future.”

Alahmari also said: “Our sustainability strategy builds commitment, provides a foundation for decision-making and enables better planning, project management and measurement. It serves as a roadmap to maximize value and increase profit in a sustainable and ethical way by taking ownership of corporate decisions and improving them with a clear medium- to long-term vision.”

Dr. Faisal Al-Faqeer, CEO of Sadara, took the opportunity to praise the efforts of all teams involved and said, “Our Sustainability Report shares the efforts and challenges related to Sadara’s sustainability performance, showcasing our commitment to developing a sustainable future for Sadara and tracking improvements and setbacks as they arise.”

 He added: “At Sadara, we believe that our Sustainability framework helps us to tackle any problems in this area and create innovative solutions for them. Our sustainability strategy will remain focused on three foundations: Sadara’s corporate strategy, Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and as our sustainability journey continues, our commitment expands. In 2019, we established the Sadara Sustainability Committee, which directly reports to the Management Committee.”
