With a commitment to innovation and sustainability, SABIC’s extensive investments not only enhance its operational capabilities worldwide but also bolster its position in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, driving economic growth and fostering international partnerships.
Since its inception, SABIC has made substantial investments that span continents, from North America and Europe to Asia and the Middle East.
The company’s strategy focuses on integrating local partnerships and leveraging advanced technologies to meet the growing demands of various sectors, including energy, petrochemicals, automotive, construction, and healthcare.
In recent years, SABIC’s commitment to sustainability has intensified, aligning with global trends towards greener practices.
This focus is evident in its investments aimed at producing low-carbon and renewable products, responding to a rising consumer demand for sustainable solutions.
INVESTMENTS IN ASIA: A KEY FOCUS
