KAEC Becomes Member of United Nations Global Compact for Sustainability

King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) has become a member of the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest voluntary corporate responsibility and sustainability initiative. The global framework focuses on ten principles in areas ranging from the environment to human rights and anti-corruption. KAEC has taken on this initiative to help use these leading principles to guide its CSR strategy, culture, and day-to-day operations. As a result of its membership, the city seeks to further its commitment to implementing the highest standard of sustainable business practices.

KAEC joins the United Nations Global Compact as well to exchange sustainability concepts and strengthen its resolve toward solution-oriented, value-creation methods. Through its membership, KAEC has decided to set policies that both reflect and meets the UN Global Compact’s guidelines. In light of the Kingdom’s ambitions to build a more sustainable future, with ongoing programs such as the Saudi Green Initiative, KAEC strives to enhance its operations by aligning with both domestic and global sustainability programs.

The United Nations Global Compact is intended to drive impact towards specific goals such as climate change and transformational governance. Within the compact, the UN additionally seeks to integrate its established Sustainable Development Goals, a collection of 17 interlinked global benchmarks
