Our Sustainability Purpose & Priorities
Reducing our impact on the planet is as important as strengthening our impact within our community. At Olayan, our sustainability efforts are guided by clear principles that drive meaningful change — protecting the planet, empowering our people, and creating lasting value for all stakeholders. Through conscientious practices across our businesses, we ensure that our positive impact scales with our growth. We track progress across all initiatives, programs, and key performance indicators, with results published in our annual sustainability report. This approach has helped us focus on three core pillars: Our Planet, Our People, and Our Community — all underpinned by strong governance.
Our Planet
Our People
When it comes to our people, we focus on empowering our employees, promoting diversity and gender equality, ensuring occupational health and safety, providing training and development opportunities, and upholding the highest standards of integrity, including anti-corruption and non-discrimination.
Our Community
“At Olayan, we recognize the significance of embedding sustainability principles into our daily operations and future investments. Preserving the environment while fostering diverse and equitable opportunities stand as imperative pillars for us. These commitments go beyond achieving business prosperity, they extend to ensuring a positive and inclusive impact for generations to come.”

Central to our core values is our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and providing equal opportunities for all individuals to thrive.
