Yanbu Industrial City could easily be a global model of a developed industrial city which has adopted sustainability. Its vision is based on integrated systems and standards and the best environment management practices. Home to the largest industrial port on the Red Sea, the second largest industrial complex in the Kingdom and the fourth largest crude oil refinery in the world, covering an area of 606 square kilometers, the city has achieved remarkable success in preserving the environment and energy, being water efficient, improving the quality of life of its inhabitants, and managing waste.
Yanbu's 11-km-long waterfront and 37 parks enjoy 4,864,799 square meters of green space and over 100,000 trees.
The Industrial City was awarded the gold certificate in leadership in the field of energy and environmental design, becoming the first industrial city in the world to achieve the gold level in the field. This major accomplishment is testimony to the commitment of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu to develop a sustainable industrial city that uses renewable energy.
