Our approach
SABIC's global CSR activities are directed by the RAISE framework – Reputation, Audience, Innovation, Strategy, and Endurance – which ensures that all initiatives strengthen the company brand, address priority community needs, and reflect its corporate values. To support disciplined and regionally relevant implementation, our regional RAISE Committees evaluate opportunities, oversee program selection, and align with both global strategy and community needs. Each committee focuses on programs that are impactful, scalable, and oriented toward SABIC's long-term priorities.

Health and wellness
CSR initiatives are focused on health access, food security, and preventative care across multiple regions. In 2025, these included:
