* Assured by KPMG.
** Note that the reporting boundary for Environmental Sustainability KPIs (Resource Efficiency and Climate) is current financial consolidation plus 3.5 SABIC affiliates – Kemya, Sharq, Yanpet and 50% of SAMAC – that were moved outside financial boundaries in 2020.
# Adjusted for comparison purposes.
1 Flaring reduction calculations are based on reduction of GHG emissions.
2 Compliance data are reported for the 23,500 employees of Saudi Basic Industries Corporation and its wholly-owned affiliates, but not for employees of SABIC’s non-wholly owned manufacturing joint ventures (or affiliates) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Note this is a severity-weighted rating.
3 2019 CO2-utilization numbers were recalculated and adjusted for comparison purposes.
4 This is a severity-weighted rating.
