Downstream

A major new addition to our Local Content Program in 2020 is "Downstream".

Downstream seeks to identify opportunities to build new products, companies and industries based on the products and by-products of Ma'aden operations in Saudi Arabia. Across our aluminium, phosphate and industrial minerals businesses we identified 25 high potential opportunities to grow Local Content in Saudi Arabia through collaboration with Downstream investors.

We are now working actively with these investors to progress to the point where they will be able to utilize output from Ma'aden operations to grow new companies, industries and opportunities for Saudi nationals.
