Aramco's global leadership rests not only on vast energy assets and cutting-edge technologies but on the strength of its people.

With more than 75,000 employees and thousands of contractors from nearly 100 nationalities, the company has placed workforce development and inclusion at the heart of its strategy.

By combining large-scale training programmes, diversity initiatives, and well-being support, Aramco is building a future-ready workforce equipped to drive long-term success.

A DIVERSE & INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE

Aramco continues to expand opportunities for women and people with disabilities (PwD), advancing diversity as a source of innovation.

Female participation has grown significantly, with women now representing 24 per cent of new recruits and increasingly moving into STEM roles and leadership positions.

The number of female leaders rose from 233 in 2023 to 308 in 2024, supported by targeted training and partnerships with institutions such as Harvard, INSEAD, and IMD.
