Through concerted efforts in 2023, Almarai was successful in delivering on eight of our sustainability targets for 2025, as a result of the collaborative and inclusive approach that we have taken to sustainability, across all our business units.
Our dedication and efforts during this year earned industry recognition when we received the award for “Best Practices: GHG Emission Reduction in Poultry” at the In Flavors Food Production Expo.
Further details on the progress we made in 2023 can be found in our 2023 Sustainability Report.
Our Sustainability Framework
At Almarai, sustainability is core to our strategy. We believe that the world can be a better place if we are all committed to doing better every day. By living up to our commitments, we can make positive changes that support a better tomorrow.
In 2019, we established a set of 25 goals and targets to achieve by 2025, during the development of our sustainability strategy, “Doing better every day”.
Our strategy is built upon three interconnected pillars and 12 material issues that are essential in supporting our contribution to building a more sustainable future.
