Sustainability Performance

11.1 National Contribution

Saudi Re’s commitment to national progress is operationalized through a rigorous alignment of internal policies with the strategic mandates of Saudi Vision 2030. In 2025, we transitioned beyond high-level advocacy to a phase of deep institutionalization, ensuring that our presence in over 40 countries serves as a conduit for economic diversification and international strength. By bridging global operational standards with domestic objectives, we have successfully exported Saudi financial expertise while simultaneously reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as a resilient hub for the global reinsurance industry.

Central to this mission is the cultivation of a high-caliber national workforce, evidenced by a Saudization rate exceeding 80٪. Our focus remains on the “quality of localization,” where Saudi nationals are empowered to lead in technical, operational, and senior management functions. This is supported by structured mentorship and specialized training programs designed to bridge the gap between academic potential and executive leadership. Furthermore, we continue to drive an inclusive corporate culture that has accelerated the progression of female professionals into senior leadership roles, directly contributing to the Vision 2030 goals of equality, sustainable growth, and a diverse, knowledge-based economy.

Local Content Development

Saudi Re remains a primary driver in expanding the insurance sector’s contribution to the national economy by maximizing local content in risk coverage. This strategic alignment bolsters the stability of the domestic reinsurance landscape and ensures that a greater portion of risk-related capital remains within the Kingdom, directly supporting the Financial Sector Development Program and national economic resilience.

A key pillar of this effort is the implementation of the Reinsurance Cession mechanism, as mandated by the Insurance Authority (IA) directive issued in October 2022.This plan involves a progressive increment to a minimum of 20٪ in 2023, 25٪ in 2024, and 30٪ in 2025 for all Reinsurance Treaties, encompassing both proportional and non-proportional arrangements.

In November 2024,Insurance Authority extended the 30٪ application of local cession to cover Facultative contracts stating from 1 January 2025.

At Saudi Re, a dedication to ethical business practices is central to our core values. To maintain a sustainable and responsible supply chain, a transparent and fair procurement process is employed that extends beyond conventional practices. Prior to entering into any transaction, business partners are rigorously evaluated and documented to ensure full alignment with our standards, including a thorough assessment of the sustainability impact of products purchased.

Our primary supplier categories include:

Saudi Re proactively identifies and manages supply chain risks that could potentially impact operational continuity. These include disruptions arising from a supplier’s financial or capacity challenges, data security vulnerabilities that could lead to cyberattacks or breaches of confidential information, and compliance risks where a partner may fail to meet local or international regulatory standards. To mitigate these threats, a “first-line of defense” methodology is employed, utilizing updated risk registers and rigorous pre-engagement risk assessments to ensure all partners align with our requirements for security and reliability.

Beyond risk mitigation, our supply chain presents significant opportunities to enhance resilience and drive innovation. By leveraging a diverse network of brokers, agents, and consultants, dependency on single sources is reduced, improving overall adaptability to market disruptions. Furthermore, collaboration with technology providers and specialized consultants accelerates our digital transformation, particularly in the adoption of AI technologies and the refinement of actuarial services. These partnerships are instrumental in maintaining adequate solvency margins and robust reserves, ultimately contributing to greater financial efficiency and long-term stability for the Company.

To support professional development, the Company provided coaching sessions and job rotation opportunities, enabling employees to expand their skill sets across different functions. We continued to recognize high performance through formal internal announcements, fostering a merit-based culture.

Employee well-being remained a priority through the WalaPlus Program, which offers staff and their families exclusive discounts and financial services. We also maintained full observance of all statutory and religious holidays, including Ramadan, with appropriate provisions for our staff. To ensure continuous improvement, Saudi Re regularly monitors satisfaction levels through periodic employee engagement surveys.

Health and Well-Being

Saudi Re offers comprehensive medical insurance to all employees and their eligible family members. Throughout the year, we promoted health through:

  • Discounts on gym memberships and healthy food options through the WalaPlus Program.
  • Regularly circulating communications covering general health, breast cancer awareness, flu prevention, and other well-being topics.
  • Annual flu vaccination campaigns organized at our Head Office for employee convenience.

Future Focus

Key priorities for the coming year include strengthening national talent, ensuring robust leadership succession, enhancing employee capabilities, and fostering a high-performance, inclusive workplace to support long-term sustainable growth.

11.10 Environmental Stewardship

While Saudi Re’s direct environmental footprint is inherently limited by our business model, we remain resolute in our commitment to ecological stewardship and global climate action. Our strategy is closely aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, focusing on the integration of ESG principles to achieve carbon neutrality, advance renewable energy investments, and promote circular economy practices.

This road map is supported by strategic collaborations and the adoption of innovative technologies, complemented by a strong emphasis on employee engagement and environmental awareness. We prioritize transparency through the continuous monitoring and rigorous reporting of our progress toward long-term sustainability objectives.

We employ a forward-thinking approach to our physical infrastructure, continuously implementing innovative strategies to enhance resource efficiency:

  • Energy management: We have modernized our facilities with energy-efficient hardware and automated systems, including motion-activated lighting and high-efficiency electronic equipment, to reduce overall power consumption.
  • Water efficiency: To minimize waste, we have installed water-conserving devices, such as faucet aerators, across our offices.
  • Digital transformation: We continue to reduce paper consumption by digitizing approval workflows and mandating the use of electronic signatures across our business functions.
  • Responsible e-waste management: We partner with non-profit organizations to refurbish and distribute decommissioned electronics to charitable institutions, providing technology to educational and social welfare organizations.
  • “Recycle for a good cause”: This initiative empowers employees to donate recyclables, repurposing waste as a fundraising tool for charitable causes.
  • Material recycling: We maintain rigorous paper recycling practices, which contribute directly to the reduction of our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
