SUPPLY CHAIN

Our supply chain strategy is focused on advancing digital innovation while embedding sustainable practices across the value chain.

Our approach

Our supply chain is designed to deliver the right products at the right time with consistency, resilience, and customer-focused reliability. Integration with Saudi Aramco further enhances this capability through shared synergies, optimized facilities, and a more connected end-to-end value chain. By leveraging our global logistics network, long-standing partnerships, and localized supplier base, SABIC captures economies of scale, simplifies operations, and implements innovative solutions that reduce cost to serve, strengthen financial performance, and support sustainable industrial growth.

2025 developments

In 2025, SABIC made progress in advancing its supply chain capabilities in several ways:

Optimizing global supply networks to improve lead times, reduce dependence on long-haul feedstocks, and enhance customer service. Regional delivery models and logistics coordination improved reliability amid geopolitical disruption.
Adding capacity to SABIC's distribution network through new assets, warehouses, service points, and packaging types. Customer feedback mechanisms were strengthened through new channels and availability in more languages.
Moving more than 30,000 containers with improved efficiency and safety through our logistics partner, Saudi Arabia Railways.

Global Distribution Footprint

Operation Clean Sweep®

Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS) is a voluntary program aimed at promoting best practices and helping companies in the plastics value chain eliminate plastic loss in operations and reduce the risk of plastic leakage into the environment. Implementing its principles helps reduce the loss of plastic pellets, flakes, and powders throughout our operations and supply chain.

OCS certification was achieved for a three-year period across all SABIC plastic handling sites in Europe and the Middle East and Africa region, with certification progressing for our sites in the United States. Participation reinforces accountability, regulatory readiness, and responsible materials management across our value chain, and we encourage our supply chain partners to join the program.
