Community

Saudi Aramco commits tremendous effort and resources to service the communities in which it operates, as well as Saudi Arabia as a whole. During its long history it helped develop the Eastern Province's electrical power grid and carried out other major infrastructure projects.

The company has built nearly 135 schools serving thousands of Saudi and other resident children. In addition to its school building program, the company has contributed to the community through numerous community programs, including donations and fund raising events, developing health campaigns and participating in awareness campaigns on traffic and fire safety.

On the environmental front, the company closely monitors the effects of its operations on the ecological system and employs the latest environmental control technology. Its environmental consciousness has led to recycling campaigns, implementing smoke-free office environments and increasing green areas through assistance in Tree Week and mangrove planting initiatives. Saudi Aramco also conducts extensive environmental awareness campaigns targeting adults and children.

On a local level, Saudi Aramco is the single largest employer in the Kingdom aside from the government. The wages it pays and the goods and services it buys in the local markets help fuel the regional and national economy. The company also assists local manufacturers and vendors by using their services and purchasing their products.

Saudi Aramco has also sparked a thirst for knowledge and nurtured creativity among young people through its Kingdom-wide mobile libraries program and annual children's art contest.
