Alsulaiman Group welcomes new mentees to the sustainability champions program

Signing ceremony

Alsulaiman Group announced today the five distinguished companies to the Sustainability Champions Program as mentees. The new members—Extra, Saudia Cargo, Johnson Controls Arabia, Nesma, and Floward—represent industry leaders committed to advancing sustainability and contributing to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

In an emailed statement to Argaam, the company said the Sustainability Champions Program, under the patronage of Ministry of Economy and Planning (MEP), was officially launched during the World Economic Forum Special Meeting in Riyadh last April.

The program is designed to mentor leading organizations, providing them with the expertise, resources, and guidance necessary to embed sustainability into their core operations.

Saud Alsulaiman, CEO of Alsulaiman Group, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are honored to welcome these esteemed organizations as mentees of the Sustainability Champions Program. Their pledge today is not just a commitment but a declaration of intent to reshape their industries and contribute to a sustainable future for Saudi Arabia. Together, we are building momentum for meaningful change, and Alsulaiman Group is proud to mentor and support them on this transformative journey.”

These companies joined the program during a pledge signing event in Jeddah, attended by the CEOs of the newly inducted mentees who signed a formal pledge, affirming their unwavering commitment to implementing sustainable business practices and supporting the Kingdom's ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060.

As a Sustainability Champion recognized by MEP, Alsulaiman Group, in partnership with Sustainability Excellence, a leading sustainability consultancy, plays a vital role in fostering collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation, empowering companies to align their operations with the principles of sustainability and the Kingdom’s broader Vision 2030 objectives.

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 includes a bold sustainability agenda that seeks to diversify the nation’s economy while ensuring the protection of natural resources for future generations. The Vision emphasizes renewable energy, carbon reduction, and the promotion of sustainable business practices as key pillars in the Kingdom’s journey toward becoming a global leader in sustainability. The Sustainability Champions Program aligns with these ambitions, helping companies across the Kingdom achieve significant environmental, social, and economic progress. Together, through collective efforts, Saudi Arabia is paving the way for a future that balances economic growth with environmental stewardship.
