EMBEDDING SUSTAINABILITY ACROSS GOVERNANCE & STRATEGY

At the heart of SABIC’s sustainability journey is a governance framework that integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into every facet of its operations.

As a signatory of the UN Global Compact since 2012, SABIC has aligned its strategies with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), addressing issues such as poverty, climate change, and inequality.

The company’s adherence to the Responsible Care® initiative further underscores its commitment to environmental, health, safety, and security (EHSS) excellence.

These frameworks guide the company’s strategies, ensuring transparency and accountability through third-party certifications and regular performance audits.

SABIC’s sustainability approach is embodied in the RAISE framework – Reputation, Audience, Innovation, Strategy, and Endurance – ensuring that its corporate social responsibility (CSR) and community engagement efforts remain aligned with long-term business objectives.

The framework helps SABIC address community needs while enhancing its brand, fostering shared value, and driving sustainable impact across all sectors of its operations.
