SABIC CEO
Eng. Abdulrahman Al-Fageeh
At SABIC, we believe that our corporate responsibility is not limited to just the production of petrochemicals. We also support the sustainable economic development of societies by doing our part to bring about positive social change while protecting the natural environment.
Our approach goes beyond building the capabilities of our employees to empowering the communities where we operate. And few things empower more than education. In particular, we aim to strengthen the educational foundations of young people in the fields of science and technology. Our business model in this effort relies on partnerships with non-profit and non-governmental organizations to achieve fruitful cooperation that benefits everyone.
Over the past years, we have succeeded in launching various initiatives to support young men and women who show interest in chemistry as well as other fields of science and engineering. We have also leveraged our extensive resources to help support new generations to achieve excellence in international forums and to highlight the Kingdom’s competitive advantages in the fields of science and technological innovation.
The hosting of the International Chemistry Olympiad in July 2024 is the culmination of the remarkable successes achieved by the Saudi Science and Engineering Team at ISEF. It will further motivate and inspire the younger generation to achieve personal growth and technical leadership to create a better future for our country. As the sponsor of this Olympiad, SABIC likewise aims to strengthen the Kingdom’s position in the global chemical industry under the wise and inspiring vision of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
We all aspire to a successful Olympiad that will enhance international communication with future scientists around the world, and introduce the participants to the Kingdom’s many scientific, cultural and touristic delights.
We will continue our efforts to highlight the role of chemistry, research and innovation in human development, and to motivate and inspire the younger generations to achieve growth, leadership and create a better future for our country.
