Where We Make a Difference!
Beyond its commitment to be the world’s most reliable supplier of petroleum is another, equally important to be socially responsible wherever we do business.
This commitment is evident in its vision of citizenship where it aspires “to be influencer leader in creating sustainable social and economic opportunities for the welfare of the Kingdom and any other location where it has operations”.
Our company has been very well-recognized since the early days of the Kingdom for contributing to the development of the nation. This is a very important part of the Company’s history, and something we are very proud of.
We all remember the early contributions of the company to the development of the kingdom infrastructurewhich we have focused on addressing the basic needs of the community such providing water and electricity, improving basic health hygiene, building schools, and introducing the urban planning.
The story of eradicating diseases like malaria and trachoma is quite a compelling one, in which the company pledged to a 15-years research with Harvard to develop a cure to these two pandemics just to protect the health of its employees and their communities.
Not only that it did, it has also dedicated a team of environmental health inspectors, local health promotion representatives and toured eastern province cities and remote villages to educate people and promote health hygiene.
Behind this commitment of stewardship is a continuous strive to excellence by the Company and its people … it was for those who have made an extraordinary use of their time, talent, and energy just to make a difference.
There are hundreds of stories of success driven by a deep-rooted sense of commitment and a genuine aspiration to excellence … a commitment that is made by ordinary people like me and you; front- liners, managers and executives who are determined to make a difference and always aim higher.
Most recently, Saudi Aramco has been undergoing a remarkable up-scaling in how it practices citizenship. As we live in exponential time transitioning to the 21st Century and toward a knowledge-based economy. As such, the Company’s citizenship contributions have evolved toward developing institutions that help the Kingdom transform into the knowledge age. Examples include, the establishment of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), the gift of King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture and our CEO’s,Mr. Khalid Al-Falih, sponsorship of iTHRA Youth -ayouth enrichment program that aspire to spark 2 million young Saudis by 2020 and encourage young people to create a bright future.
Our value of Excellence where we drive for best results, and are agile in addressing new challenges as well as our commitment for stewardship and corporate citizenship are part of our proud legacy … and help lead us to a bright future… where we bring to our community and the world the best the company can offer.. making a deference.
