Sustainability Strategy
UNIMAC’s sustainability strategy focuses on four interconnected pillars, including Environmental Stewardship, People & Communities, Responsible Business Practices, and Innovation & Future-Ready Infrastructure. Within these broad pillars, we have further identified key areas like carbon and energy management, workforce development, ethical governance, and sustainable design, where we want to channelize our sustainability initiatives. Our Sustainability Strategy is closely aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), showcasing UNIMAC’s commitment to advancing global sustainability priorities alongside national development objectives.

Saudi Vision 2030 Pillars
Pillar 1
A Vibrant Society
Vision 2030 is creating a vibrant society in which all citizens can thrive and pursue their passions. A strong social infrastructure is underpinned by a society that values cultural traditions, national pride, and modern amenities all while embodying the spirit of modern Islam and providing effective social services.

UNIMAC plays an active role in building the social infrastructure that supports a vibrant society. Through key infrastructure projects such as the NEOM retaining wall and the King Khalid Road diversion in Diriyah, we are enabling connectivity, mobility, and accessibility across regions. These projects not only strengthen core infrastructure but also help unlock opportunities for development in remote areas, thereby improving quality of life and supporting the creation of inclusive communities.
Pillar 2
A Thriving Economy
Vision 2030 creates a thriving economy where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. By providing a supportive business environment for businesses of all sizes and investing in education to prepare for the jobs of the future, Saudi Arabia is creating an exciting and prosperous future for all.

UNIMAC is proud to employ over a thousand people, including a sizeable number of Saudi nationals, thereby advancing national workforce development and localization objectives. In addition, we collaborate with a wide network of suppliers and subcontractors, creating indirect employment opportunities and supporting the growth of local businesses. By building critical infrastructure and investing in human capital, UNIMAC actively contributes to the Kingdom’s dynamic and diversified economy.
Pillar 3
An Ambitious Nation
Vision 2030 creates an ambitious nation committed to efficiency and accountability at all levels, including building a government that is effective, transparent, accountable, empowering, and high-performing.

At UNIMAC, we are committed to building an organization that upholds accountability, transparency, and integrity in all aspects of our operations. Guided by strong corporate governance principles and best practices, we ensure that our projects are delivered with efficiency, responsibility, and a long-term vision for sustainable growth. By embedding ethics and governance into our business practices, UNIMAC supports the national ambition of creating a high-performing and trusted institutional framework that drives progress for generations to come.

Carbon Emissions Profile 2024
Carbon Emissions and Energy Management
As a company in the construction sector, we recognize that our industry is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With growing national and international commitments driving the transition towards a low-carbon future, we view decarbonization as both a responsibility and an opportunity to create lasting impact.

In 2024, we conducted our first GHG inventory exercise to evaluate and identify our carbon emissions. Since many of our projects are located in remote areas without access to grid electricity, our operations rely heavily on fuels such as diesel and bitumen. Following the GHG Protocol methodology, our assessment covered all active projects during 2024 as well as our operations under UNIMINE.

In 2024, our Scope 1 emissions amounted to 32,940 tons CO2e which are largely associated with fuel usage and represent over 99% of our overall emissions for the year. Our Scope 2 emissions were 118 tons CO2e for the year, which represent less than 1% of our total emissions and are primarily linked to electricity consumption in our head office facilities. Establishing this baseline is an important milestone, as it allows us to understand our emissions profile and focus on areas of highest impact going forward.
