Company: Aramco

Aramco is one of the world’s largest integrated energy and chemicals companies, creating value across the hydrocarbon chain, and delivering societal and economic benefits to people and communities around the globe who rely on the vital energy we supply. We are committed to playing a leading role in the energy transition. We have a responsibility to help the world achieve a net-zero economy, and our people are working hard to help solve the world’s sustainability challenges.For our customers, we are a supplier of choice. For our shareholders, we provide long-term value creation. For communities around the world, our ambition is to provide reliable, affordable, and more sustainable energy.

We believe in the power of energy to transform lives, enhance communities, advance human progress, and sustain our planet. With global population forecast to increase by two billion over the next 25 years, even more energy will be required to meet rising demand. It will take all available sources of energy to fill this need — both legacy and alternative sources. And while alternative energy sources are steadily making advances, they will not be capable of meeting future demand alone. Even as we transition to a low emissions future, hydrocarbon-based energy sources will be counted on to meet the bulk of the world’s energy demand well into the future. We’re committed to driving energy efficiency and addressing the global emissions challenge. And as the world’s largest integrated oil and gas company, we believe we are uniquely qualified to make effective contributions to the overall solution.

At Aramco, we encourage a work culture that values the contributions of all employees, enabling an environment where individuals excel by contributing in inclusive, collaborative teams. Diversity and inclusion practices ensure a better company with better performance. Embedding inclusive practices leads to a variety of different perspectives, increased creativity, a higher degree of innovation, faster problem solving, better decision making, increased profits, stronger employee engagement, better company reputation, and improved hiring results. Studies have also shown strong correlations between higher-than-average diversity and higher-than-average profits across 350+ companies. 

At Aramco, D&I is integral to the way we operate. We are committed to attracting and developing diverse talent, seeing individual differences as an opportunity for innovation and growth. We cultivate an environment where behaviors and social norms are welcoming and respectful, and employees are provided equitable access to resources and opportunities. With a clear vision for our future, our goal is to become a global role model for D&I; by fostering inclusive environments and deploying initiatives that empower our people. Aramco supports Diversity and Inclusion Programs, such as its Women in Business, The Mentorship Program, and Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion, and collaborations within the Kingdom.
