At SIRC, sustainability is both a commitment and a core aspect of our strategy, deeply embedded in the work of SIRC, our subsidiaries, and joint ventures. In 2024, we developed our ESG strategy to align with our corporate objectives, reinforcing our dedication to environmental stewardship, societal empowerment, and governance excellence across all operations.
We developed and formalized our ESG strategy to translate our vision and mission into concrete, focused, and measurable actions. Our ESG strategy brings SIRC’s corporate strategy and sustainability ambitions together, aligning our programs and investments to four strategic ESG pillars:
With sustainability at the core of our mandate and identity, SIRC’s mission is to drive meaningful progress towards the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and create sustainable, long-term value for our stakeholders through cross-sector collaboration, pioneering research, and strategic partnerships.
SIRC is managing energy sourcing and consumption in SIRC’s buildings, plants, and fleets, as well as SIRC’s GHG and non-GHG emissions. Managing energy and emissions reduces SIRC’s operational costs, minimizes its impact on the environment, mitigates regulatory risks, and enhances its reputation as a sustainability leader.
A circular economy model reimagines how we produce, consume, and dispose of goods and materials. Practices such as recycling, reusing, refurbishing, and remanufacturing serve to minimize waste, reduce the need for new raw materials, and reduce the pace of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions production associated with manufacturing.
We have defined the critical metrics for each of our material topics and are currently developing the necessary infrastructure to implement them across the organization. The key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics have been defined for each pillar in our strategy, in alignment with the standards set by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).
Our aim is to embed environmental, social, and governance principles into the core operations of our business, ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience. The formalization of this Strategy creates a clear roadmap for existing and future ESG initiatives and provides a structured approach to improving our performance and managing risks.
