ESSR (Environment, Social, And Safety Responsibility)​

ESSR (Environment, Social, and Safety Responsibility) represents our commitment to the environment, society, and the safety of our employees and stakeholders. We understand the importance of preserving the environment, promoting social well-being, and ensuring a safe working environment. These responsibilities are deeply embedded in all our activities, as we strive to minimize the negative impacts of our operations.

In line with our values, we actively prioritize ESSR by implementing comprehensive strategies and protocols. We continuously assess and mitigate risks, adhering to the highest standards and regulatory requirements. Our aim is to go beyond mere compliance and actively contribute to sustainable development.

“Our ambition is to become the leader in the field of exploration and mining in Saudi Arabia. This ambition stretches beyond our technical achievements and embraces the improvement of the communities in which we work as well and being recognised for our stewardship in managing the environments in which we work. I am proud of the work we have done so far and enjoin our employees and communities to share in our passion for making our world better.”
