Answer preview
SABIC is considered to be one of the most established and complex organizations in Saudi Arabia. However, it has established a good reputation for doing what is right for its business, stakeholders, and employees and creating an investment plan for the surrounding communities where the company operates by creating an environmental, social, and economic value (Scherer et al., 2016). The organization’s top agenda on Corporate Social Responsibility is based on four priority areas: water and sustainable agriculture, science, technology education, health and wellness, and environmental protection (Scherer et al., 2016). It also provides special assistance to people who need these services the most. These four key areas contribute to the ten percent of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, in 2019, SABIC initiated an investment of about 15.6 million dollars used in corporate social responsibility projects, developing brands and turning principles into actions.
