Mansour Al-Salem, Managing Director of Emaar, The Economic City, said: “We are

pleased to sign this agreement with Aramex, a leading courier firm in the Middle East.

We are confident that this strategic alliance will contribute to achieving the goals of the
Saudi Vision 2030, which serves as a blueprint for fostering sustainability and

innovation. Furthermore, this agreement marks a significant stride towards advancing

green logistics within KAEC as well as reflects our steadfast commitment to reducing

environmental impact and fostering sustainability. We seek to implement a variety of

eco-friendly logistics solutions under this agreement, particularly Bot deliveries, which
would be implemented for the first time in KSA.”

KAEC, places a high priority on reducing waste, leveraging green technologies and
minimising carbon emissions. Shipping and transportation both contribute to pollution

and environmental harm, and sustainable logistics help mitigate these effects. Utilising

eco-friendly fuels, following better routes and using cleaner vehicles, in line with Saudi

Arabia’s Vision 2030, will assist in this mission. Bot deliveries by Aramex minimise

carbon footprints as they operate entirely on electricity and produce zero emissions.

Abdulaziz Abdullah Al Nowaiser, General Manager of Aramex, said: “We are keen

to provide our eco-friendly solutions, paving the way for sustainable logistics in KAEC,
as part of our strategic alliance with Emaar and The Economic City. We at Aramex are

dedicated to promoting innovation and implementing eco-friendly solutions that improve

our logistical capabilities and reduce the impact of our operations on the environment.

We aim to employ these capabilities, along with our cutting-edge solutions, to support

KAEC’s objective of providing value-added, eco-friendly logistics services to its
residents as well as contribute to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 of transforming the

logistics industry.”

With ambitious goals, Saudi Arabia seeks to transform into an ecologically friendly

country as well as become a leader in sustainable development. Several initiatives that

promote smart, sustainable and digital development have been carried out by the

country in an effort to usher into a new era of prosperity and expansion. To contribute to

Saudi Arabia’s mission for sustainability, KAEC has initiated several green activities and
initiatives.
