Introduction

In 2020, more than ever, governments, businesses and communities have become increasingly conscious that business growth needs to be sustainable – environmentally, socially and economically.

Ma’aden is committed to demonstrating to the world that the natural resources we rely upon can be extracted, produced, refined, and distributed without compromising the wellbeing of people or the planet.

In undertaking this commitment, Ma’aden’s work in 2020 contributed to delivering the wider vision and goals of Saudi Arabia and the international community. Our activity is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) performance expectations, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, and other leading sustainability and responsible mining frameworks. Furthermore, the company is guided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

As Saudi Arabia pursues economic diversification, growth, and stability under its Vision 2030 initiative, we remain committed to supporting Saudi Arabia’s economic, social, and environmental development objectives. Ma’aden has taken the lead in advancing the mining and metals industry. We will continue to play this role in Saudi Arabia, and to build social, economic and environmental resilience in our home communities and further afield, as we grow and expand into new markets worldwide.
