SUSTAINABILITY POLICY
Sadara emphasizes strong environmental governance and holds ISO 14001, ISO 50001, and RC 14001 certifications. Our Sustainability Policy ensures regulatory compliance, optimizes resource use, and helps reduce GHG emissions. We also conduct regular internal assessments and third-party audits to support accountability and continuous improvement.
Ethics and Compliance
At Sadara, we are committed to creating value for our shareholders. We believe in the potential of our company to drive positive changes in the Kingdom’s chemical industry — through the products we deliver and the opportunities we create. However, our mission can only succeed when we remain equally focused on “how” we achieve our goals, not just on the “results” of our collective efforts.
Our Core Principles and Ethics
Fundamental principles such as integrity, respect, equality and environmental protection form the foundation of our corporate culture and are reflected in Sadara’s Code of Ethics & Business Conduct. This code, along with mechanisms for company employees and external parties, to report potential violations, guides our behavior both inside and outside the workplace.

Sustainability strategy
The transformations shaping our country, the region and the world directly influence our business. Sadara’s sustainability strategy strengthens our commitment, supports effective decision-making, and enhances planning, project management, and performance measurement. It serves as a roadmap to build shareholder trust, deliver stakeholder value, and increase profits sustainably and ethically, supported by a clear medium- to long-term vision. Sadara’s five-year sustainability strategy consists of five pillars, 10 strategic goals, and 24 key performance indicators (KPIs). These were established by Sadara’s Sustainability Council, with each pillar overseen by an assigned committee.
Sadara aligns its sustainability strategy and five pillars with national and global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks. These pillars support the success of our business while creating value for stakeholders.
The Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs) provide a blueprint for addressing challenges such as poverty, climate change, and inequality. Designed to ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030, the 17 SDGs are central to building a sustainable future. Sadara recognizes that achieving these goals requires collective action and is committed to contributing meaningfully to this shared global agenda. The 17 SDGs are embedded into Sadara’s strategic framework to ensure that business success goes hand in hand with delivering positive outcomes for both society and the environment.

Sadara’s Employee Relations Unit (ERU) serves corrective actions and provides counselling sessions and guidance where employees are found in violation of company procedures or policies
Sadara's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) unit ensures responsible and sustainable operations through compliance and high operational standards. ERM facilitates the identification and assessment of risks that could ultimately have an impact on Sadara’s sustainable operations. It proactively identifies and analyzes risks across multiple areas such as safety, security, health, environment, operations, finance, strategy, reputation, and business continuity. Collaborating closely with senior management, the unit continually monitors the internal and external environment so that we can minimize risk exposure across several focus areas.
Sadara’s Enterprise Risk matrix provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the risks and threats that the company may face, enabling the development of mitigation strategies to minimize their impact.
Sadara's Business Continuity Management (BCM) process involves prevention, crisis management and recovery to address potential threats. It provides a systematic approach that focuses on recovery efforts for key business areas after unplanned disruption, safeguarding stakeholders, assets, and reputation while improving organizational resilience.
The BCM, approved by the Sadara Management Committee (MC), and led by the CEO, ensures optimal preparedness to sustain critical functions, work processes, products, and deliverables in the event of an emergency. It is aligned with Saudi Aramco's Business Continuity Management Lifecycle, following the Plan-Do-Check-Act improvement cycle. The BCM program is fully implemented at Sadara with business continuity now included in Sadara's Corporate Management System Review (MSR).
