Governance

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company's management and providing strategic leadership and guidance, as well as assessing business opportunities. It is also responsible for the Company's governance, risk, and compliance regime, including those related to sustainability matters. 

In performing this oversight duty, the Board is assisted by its Sustainability, Risk and HSE Committee. This Board-level committee meets quarterly and provides leadership, direction, and oversight on sustainability matters. Responsibility for implementing and monitoring sustainability activities at company level rests with the President and CEO, supported by the Group Executive Committee, Group Strategy Committee, and the Group Health, Safety, Security and Environment Committee.

At the business level, the Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC) comprises Aramco Senior Vice Presidents representing business lines and administrative areas across the Company. An external advisory group, comprising up to six independent advisers and managed by a third party on behalf of Aramco, provides feedback direct to management, including members of the SSC.
