Foreword
"In partnership with GEO Foundation – the international non-profit dedicated to golf - we have set out our strategic framework, designed to respect the cultures and landscapes of Saudi Arabia, whilst demonstrating how the right measures can conserve and enhance our unique natural environments, plan responsible and efficient use of our resources, and build new opportunities for health and wellbeing in our communities.
Our hope is that through our policies and practices, we inspire and guide other sectors in the Kingdom and beyond to kick-start enterprises in the green, circular economy. Sharing our passion for environmental transformation will result in credible recognition as a stakeholder of Saudi Arabia’s future.”
Yours Sincerely,
His Excellency Yasir O. Al-Rumayyan
