SABIC's digital transformation and robust cybersecurity enhance stakeholder trust.
Digital transformation
SABIC invests in digital capabilities, talent, and partnerships, leveraging its enterprise-wide foundational tools, and technologies such as IoT, big data, machine learning, robotics, and AI. Some of our current digitalization focus areas include:
- Adoption of agentic AI to drive advanced automation and intelligent decision-making across processes.
- Establishing and strengthening adoption of digital transformation across operations and business units.
- Equipping employees with digital literacy and data analytics skills and guidelines to promote adoption of new digital solutions and strengthen capabilities in an evolving digital landscape.
Cybersecurity
A key achievement was the successful go-live of the STAR (SABIC Transformation and Renovation) program, a large-scale integration of digital technologies to improve both innovation and efficiency through an upgrade to S4/Hana. The program established a modern, scalable Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) environment connecting people, processes, and data across all business domains. This platform serves as the backbone for SABIC's standardization and automation of core processes, advanced analytics, and AI-driven applications. With phase 1 complete, phase 2 will shift focus from system activation to value realization, operational excellence, and sustained adoption of digital capabilities across the enterprise.
The SABIC cybersecurity program is governed by the Corporate Cybersecurity Committee, chaired by the CEO, and integrated into our global Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework. The effectiveness of cybersecurity risk assessments, training initiatives, and SABIC-wide programs is measured through defined KPIs and reported on a monthly and quarterly basis to leadership. Performance metrics are consolidated within a single enterprise platform, providing oversight, accountability, and informed decision-making.
SABIC maintained compliance with applicable regulations and ISO 27001:2022 through rigorous audits. The CEO mandated SABIC-defined cybersecurity maturity targets, aligned with recognized cybersecurity frameworks. All sites achieved their respective maturity targets through enhanced cyber defense, protection, and control measures implemented across SABIC's operations. In addition, a comprehensive supplier cybersecurity certification program strengthened SABIC's ecosystem against third-party vulnerabilities, while SABIC trained internal business stakeholders to implement third-party CyberTrust guidelines.
