THE Saudi International Petrochemical Company (Sipchem) is a chemical manufacturing company with environmental responsibility at its core. The company specialises in business analysis and simplification, and applies strict corporate and environmental controls throughout its business practices. Sipchem is one of the biggest players in the field, proving that sustainability and profitability can go hand-in-hand. Sipchem’s steady growth can be attributed in part to the ingenuity of its staff which have — through the company’s Eureka policy — generated over 15,000 ideas that have saved the company about $17m since 2011. The BV judging panel believes Sipchem’s forward-thinking initiatives, which use technology to get children thinking about problem-solving, will inspire new generations of skilled innovators. The judges congratulate Sipchem on its 2019 Best Sustainable Growth Leadership (KSA) award win.
