Sustainability

Our philosophy

We are building a resilient and sustainable future for OQBI.

By integrating sustainability into our core operations, OQBI aims to drive the creation of a prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future for Oman.

Sustainability mandate

As part of the larger OQ group, OQBI is actively committed to sustainability across its operations, aligning with global initiatives such as the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Our sustainability strategy integrates environmental, social and economic aspects, while emphasising energy efficiency, emissions reduction and the advancement of renewable energy projects.

OQBI’s approach to sustainability includes reducing the company’s carbon footprint by considering green hydrogen projects and managing water consumption efficiently. We are also focused on the sustainability of our operational framework, including the integration of renewable energy and efforts to manage and minimise environmental impacts across production processes.

Furthermore, OQ has made significant investments in decarbonisation and is working to align its operations with Oman’s Vision 2040, which focuses on sustainable development and environmental stewardship.

Social investment

At the heart of our mission as a responsible corporate leader is a relentless commitment to driving socio-economic progress.

Through transformative programs, we uplift communities, fuel educational advancement, and shape the next generation of leaders in industry and science. Our External Affairs team is at the forefront of building strong, meaningful partnerships that leave a lasting, positive mark.

Equally, we take pride in our thriving culture of volunteerism, with employees dedicating their personal time to champion community causes. In just the first half of 2024, we recorded impressive volunteer hours. Our partnerships with NGOs, charities, and volunteer groups ensure our efforts reach further, creating lasting change where it’s needed most.

OQBI: Safety exemplified

Through ongoing engagement with our employees, the implementation of best practices and the constant review of our safety performance, we strive to reduce risks and ensure the highest standards of safety across all our operations.
