ABSTRACT
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become a key guide for global organisations to preserve the environment while meeting global energy needs. Saudi Aramco, one of the world's largest oil producers, has a key role in achieving these goals. This study aims to analyse the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals by Saudi Aramco in preserving the environment in line with their efforts to meet global energy needs. The method that will be used in research is a qualitative research method involving case studies to explain variables related to Saudi Aramco Companies in implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to preserve the environment. This research explores various concrete steps that have been taken by Saudi Aramco in integrating the principles of SDGs in their operations. The main focus is on the company's efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its oil production activities, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, water management, and biodiversity protection. The results show that Saudi Aramco has taken various important initiatives in support of the SDGs. They have invested in environmentally friendly technologies, such as increased energy efficiency and improvements in carbon capture technology. In addition, the company has prioritized sustainable water management and efforts to preserve natural ecosystems in the areas where it operates. The research also highlights the challenges faced by Saudi Aramco in implementing the SDGs, including regulatory issues, required investments, and corporate culture change. However, the steps taken by these companies demonstrate their commitment to achieving the SDGs.
