Progress toward 2025 environmental sustainability intensity-based targets
In 2010, SABIC set four intensity-based targets for the period from 2010 to 2025, and over the last 15 years, SABIC made progress on its environmental sustainability indicators. As of the 2025 reporting cycle, SABIC achieved a 22.9% reduction in its GHG emissions intensity, and 20.3% reduction in water consumption intensity. In addition, SABIC has reduced its material loss intensity by 55.5%.
Due to feasibility challenges caused by market conditions and the high capital costs that are not in line with SABIC's financial plans, SABIC achieved a 12.8% reduction of energy intensity. Moreover, SABIC continued advancing in the execution of its carbon neutrality roadmap which led to a reduction in its absolute GHG emissions by 16.9% compared to the baseline of 2018. This was achieved via the deployment of different measures including renewable energy and energy efficiency improvement programs. We are keeping the focus on realizing our carbon neutrality interim target, which is to achieve a 20% reduction by 2030.
Looking ahead
SABIC recognizes the increasing maturity and significance of several national and international sustainability frameworks, such as the various national net zero commitments, and the Saudi Energy Efficiency Center (SEEC) mandates. Accordingly, our new set of sustainability aspirations will be more closely aligned with compliance mandates, ensuring that SABIC remains a responsible and forward-thinking actor in every market it serves.
