Press Release

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.
