All of this was delivered in line with our commitment to ensuring our activities are sustainable with full respect and adherence to the environment and the local areas where we operate.
This year, we had a clear focus on conserving natural resources, implementing a raft of measures to reduce energy use and promote sustainable water management which helps conserve natural resources. We have also made significant progress in ensuring that our activities and spending power add value to the Saudi economy, supporting education and training, and wider regional development in Qassim province.
