It is now ushering in a new era as it aims to reach Net Zero by 2060. This announcement is in line with the wider Vision 2030 ambitions, a sustainable vision for Saudi Arabia's future, to accelerate the energy transition, achieve sustainability goals, and drive a new wave of investment. Sabic is leading the way in achieving these goals: in 2021, it announced a public commitment for all its operations to become carbon neutral by 2050. The pledge is a statement of intent and a marker that will henceforth orient all its efforts to combat the most pressing issue of our time: climate change.
