GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE INDEX
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a network-based organization that developed the world’s most widely used voluntary sustainability reporting framework. The GRI reporting framework is developed through a consensus-seeking, multi-stakeholder process. For further information on the initiative, see www.globalreporting.org.
SABIC voluntarily reports on its sustainability performance and has designed processes to collect and/or estimate, assess and report on this data. Information cited in the GRI content index below refers to information reported for the period January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 in our most recent Integrated Annual Report as well as information that is published on our corporate website.
