Riyadh: The Environment Fund launched the first phase of the 'Green Factory' initiative, in cooperation with the National Center for Environmental Compliance and implemented by the Saudi Industrial Exporters Association, as part of the 'Incentives and Grants' program.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the phase includes field visits to participating factories in Riyadh, Jeddah, Hail, and Eastern regions to review workflow plans, assess environmental gaps, and develop solutions to enhance efficiency.
Launched in December, the initiative aims to enable 50 factories to improve environmental performance, create added value that boosts production efficiency, and enhance the global competitiveness of national industry, in line with the Kingdom's environmental and economic sustainability goals.
Support from the Environment Fund is provided through the Incentives and Grants program, which seeks to promote environmentally friendly practices among individuals and institutions, support research and innovation, and encourage environmental investment in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
