INSPIRING NEW POSSIBILITIESANNUAL REPORT 2014

A FUTURE OF

CHANGE

By 2050, another 2.5 billion people are expected to be living on our planet. It is the equivalent of adding twice the population of India, itself the world’s second most populous country. What’s more, two thirds of all the world’s people will be living in cities, posing unique infrastructure challenges for African and Asian countries, where most of the growth is predicted to take place.

This dramatic shift presents the world with many challenges. How do we provide the food, buildings, energy and transportation that people need? How do communities provide clean and safe drinking water? What materials should we use to construct these new megacities?

The answer is innovation. It is something that SABIC does every day, all around the world. With new materials, smart solutions and better ways of working, we can provide solutions that help in addressing these challenges to help create a better future for everyone.

Developed in association with SABIC, the new seating solution uses injection-molding methods, making it possible to produce durable, lightweight seating in less time and at a substantially lower cost. Monte Meão chose SABIC’s LEXAN™ FST 3403 resin for its high-impact resistance, the flexibility required to develop attractive designs and its lightweight properties. The resin also complies with the most stringent fire-safety regulations in the world. Seats made using SABIC’s resin can be up to 15% lighter, helping to reduce the monorail’s CO2 emissions. Unlike thermoset solutions, they can also be recycled at the end of the product’s lifespan.

FINDING SOLUTIONS

TOGETHERDRIVEN BY INNOVATIONKringlan composites of switzerland, saBIc and other industry participants worked closely together to advance the development of the world’s first thermoplastic carbon-composite wheel.

This ground-breaking innovation leverages SABIC’s proprietary ULTEM™ resin and Kringlan’s proprietary three-dimensional composite-design capabilities. This combination creates a solution that can be used to replace traditional materials, such as metal and aluminum alloy, and can result in reduced weight and emissions, lower manufacturing costs and enhanced recyclability. While the first application of this new technology is being introduced in the automotive industry, its potential reach extends to multiple industries where weight reduction is needed, including aerospace and consumer goods.

“SABIC’S SUppORT TRULY ENABLED US TO CREATE A SEATING SYSTEM THAT DEpARTS FROM TRADITIONAL AppROACHES, ONE THAT WILL HELp TO TRANSpORT THE pEOpLE OF SãO pAULO COMFORTABLY AND SAFELY.

FErnanDO cErQUEIra cEO, MOnTE MEãO

rail interior provider Monte Meão introduced an innovative design and manufacturing concept for the seat banks of são Paulo’s new monorail system.

According to Bombardier Project Director Chris Fifield: “Injection-molded seating is the key to a more visually impressive interior, providing the strength to withstand the use of hundreds of thousands of passengers through time and being lighter in weight to reduce energy consumption. When fully operational, this system will transport more than 40,000 passengers per hour per direction, so durability is a key requirement. This solution will also simplify cleaning and part-replacement operations.”

CLEANER EXHAUSTS

LIGHT AND CLEAR

saBIc’s Technical grade Urea, introduced in 2014, will help reduce pollution from diesel exhausts and industrial processes.

aircraft interior designers are often restricted by the clarity and compliance requirements of the transparent materials currently available to them.

The new grade is being produced at SABIC’s manufacturing affiliate, Al-Jubail Fertilizer Company (Al-Bayroni), a joint venture with the Taiwan Fertilizer Company, with a capacity of 80,000 tons per year. Injecting a solution of urea into the exhaust stream of a diesel engine before the catalytic converter enables better performance and fuel efficiency while reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. SABIC’s technical-grade urea is produced in pastilles using energy-saving Rotoformer technology, which gives the product superior physical and mechanical properties.

With 80 percent light transmission – the highest level available in an OSU-compliant sheet material today – SABIC’s new clear LEXAN™ XHR2000 sheet is a pioneering option for aircraft interiors. It makes it possible to include large components such as security partitions and oversized windows, which are becoming increasingly popular in top deck designs. Other potential applications where clarity and light weight are important include instrument displays, equipment panels, and lighting lenses.

NEW TIRESThe auto industry will soon have a new source of raw material for sophisticated tires when saBIc’s synthetic rubber project comes on-stream.

Scheduled to begin production in 2015, the new facility at the Kemya manufacturing complex, a joint venture with ExxonMobil, will create a world-class tire and rubber goods industry in the Middle East to meet burgeoning demand. Tires made from synthetic rubber offer excellent resilience and resistance to wear and tear. SABIC has also introduced a new high-purity diethanolamine grade in the global market to produce polyamide additives for automobiles.

created during the 2014 International Manufacturing Technology show, the world’s first 3D-printed vehicle was built using a carbon-fiber-reinforced compound from saBIc.

nOUrIshIng grOWThBy 2050, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that food production will need to rise by 70 percent to feed the world’s growing population. With more people moving to urban areas, this extra food must be produced by a smaller rural labor force. And with a finite supply of agricultural land, production needs to be more efficient and more sustainable.

BY-pRODUCT TO FERTILITY

SUppORTING FARM RESEARCH

a new plant at saBIc’s manufacturing affiliate, SAFCO, transforms waste CO2 into fertilizer.

saBIc is constructing the Estidamah agricultural research center at the riyadh Techno Valley, King saud University, in association with the Ministry of agriculture in saudi arabia, with the primary goal of promoting sustainable agriculture in saudi arabia.

Manufactured fertilizers are essential to meeting the challenge of feeding the world’s population. Their production is both energy and resource-intensive, so reducing the “footprint” of fertilizer manufacture is an important step towards increasing agricultural yields sustainably. At SAFCO, a new standalone urea plant will convert 850,000 metric tons per annum of excess vented CO2 from existing facilities into valuable fertilizer. SAFCO V is expected to begin production at 1.1 million metric tons per annum of urea, with energy and water consumption reduced by 8 and 11 percent respectively.

The center will use technologically advanced research and collaborate with the agricultural community to support more sustainable agricultural techniques.When complete in 2016, the Estidamah Center will conduct applied research on innovative techniques for greenhouses, biological control of agricultural pests, development of fertilization programs, and rationalization of irrigation water.

As part of SABIC’s efforts to collaborate with the agricultural sector, it conducted and participated in a series of outreach programs in 2014 to educate the farming community on sustainable agriculture, crop improvement, and optimizing fertilizer use. In association with the National Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, SABIC addressed key issues facing the agricultural sector based on various studies conducted by the ministry, Saudi universities, research centers, and private farming companies.

TARGETED

NUTRIENTSSABIC’s fertilizers are specifically designed for particular crops, and we have also devised grades that suit the demanding growing conditions in different climates and terrains.

This targeted approach helps minimize waste and improve yields in areas where agriculture can be challenging.

Our fertilizers are used from the wheat prairies of North America to the rice fields of Thailand, nourishing the crops that feed us all. They help farmers produce higher yields, and play a vital role in providing secure, reliable food sources.

GLOBAL SpREADsaBIc is a leading global exporter of granular urea – the most popular and economical nitrogen-based fertilizer.

We are also a significant producer of prilled urea. Overall, SABIC’s supply of global traded urea is expected to increase with SAFCO V.

LOWER-CARBON MANUFACTURING

saBIc’s new hDPE pipe grade for gas distribution allows for more efficient manufacturing while offering the impressive strength and durability the industry demands.

architects for four of Brazil’s stadiums, including two of the 2014 World cup, selected saBIc’s lExan™ sheet for 53,620m2 of roofing and facades.

Production improvements are helping reduce the carbon footprint of saBIc steel production.

The gas pipe industry demands outstanding safety and reliability. SABIC’s new VESTOLEN™ A 6060R High Density polyethylene (HDpE) grade supplies the qualities that the market needs. This orange-colored grade, which completes the VESTOLEN™ A pipe portfolio, resists crack growth and offers a 10.0 MRS (Minimum Required Strength) rating. And because the new grade reduces die deposits during extrusion, converters can achieve higher productivity.

This high-tech material offers long life, strength and weather resistance as well as valuable sustainability benefits. The virtually unbreakable sheet, which is up to 50 percent lighter than glass, provides natural light and improves thermal insulation, providing energy savings of up to 50 percent thanks to its highly reflective surface. At Arena de Baixada, LEXAN™ THERMOCLICK™ sheet has been used to clad the facade in a structure that can help reduce power consumption by 17 percent when compared with traditional double-pane glass glazing.

Adding a special coating to the refractory surfaces of the billet reheating furnace at Hadeed’s Long product Rolling Mills helps maintain high emissivity at furnace working temperatures. This reduces the amount of natural gas needed to fuel the process by 2 percent, cutting carbon emissions and also reducing the furnace operating temperature.

Energy-absorbing rebar helps buildings to withstand earthquakes.

NEXT- GENERATION MATERIALS

Pharmaceutical packaging experts Bormioli rocco chose saBIc’s new dedicated polypropylene medical grade saBIc® PP Pcgr40 for a new “ultra clear” liquid medicine dosage delivery system.

saBIc has worked closely with medical and hygiene industries to develop new fiber products that offer outstanding qualities without the need for phthalates in the production processes.

The new grade will be used to produce dosing cups that are stronger and more transparent than previous polypropylene and polystyrene grades, yet still comply with strict European medical regulations.

A long-standing SABIC customer, Bormioli Rocco approached SABIC’s healthcare team with the challenge of developing a new solution for medical dosage systems that could fit within revised regulations in both the EU and the US while offering better strength and transparency. Bormioli is a leading player in pharmaceutical packaging, with an expected increase in volume in the dosing cups segment. The company values SABIC’s production consistency and its ability to deliver the required volume of material.

Anticipating the demand in healthcare and hygiene products, SABIC has collaborated with OEMs and market players to develop new materials that meet performance demands.

It takes less of the new pp511A and pp519A grades to provide the same strength and mechanical properties, reducing the energy needed for their manufacture. Converters have confirmed that both grades offer excellent process efficiency, with low breakage and waste. Leading medical and hygienic fabrics providers have now fully approved both grades.

“WE ARE pROUD TO BE A SABIC CUSTOMER AND WERE REALLY IMpRESSED WITH THE WAY THEY RESpONDED TO OUR CHALLENGE AND BY HOW KEEN THEY WERE TO WORK TOGETHER TO FIND A SOLUTION.

New PET grade for hot filling process extends the shelf life of liquid food products at ambient temperature without the need for additives.

Many beverages and liquid food products sold at ambient temperature still contain additives to extend shelf life. However, consumers are demanding additive-free products. In response to this need, SABIC has developed a new hot-fill PET (polyethylene terephthalate) grade, BC114, which enables our customers to use hot-fill technology. This technique has been developed to help extend the shelf life of products such as ketchup and fruit juices at ambient temperature, without the need for additives. It’s a perfect illustration of how advanced polymers can address the food industry’s challenges and improve the supply chain.

LASTING AppEALManufacturers are constantly looking for ways to make their products more attractive while at the same time packing them in containers that are both durable and recyclable. SABIC’s latest HDpE grade, CLARENE, offers this combination of visual appeal and sustainability, using blow molding and compression molding to achieve a bright finish that helps to strengthen our customers’ brand image in the marketplace.

as consumers and the auto industry embrace the potential of electric and hybrid vehicles, saBIc is delivering support and advanced materials to help accelerate progress.

For electric-vehicle manufacturers, maximizing driving range is a top priority. Lowering the car’s weight can play a big part in achieving this aim. SABIC’s scientists are working to address this need. One example is the development of our LEXAN™ resin and EXATEC™ coating technology for vehicle windows. It’s just one of our many specialized solutions to the light-weighting challenges that automakers face.

SUSTAINABLE SHOWCASE

construction of the new cO2 utilization plant at United, saBIc’s joint-venture affiliate in Jubail, is progressing ahead of schedule with production planned for mid 2015.

home of Innovation™, a saBIc growth initiative, combines marketing, innovation, and technology to create demand and promote downstream industry development.

The plant will compress and purify around 1,500 tons of raw CO2 per day from ethylene-glycol plants, which will then be pipelined to SABIC affiliates for use in methanol and urea production. Besides providing raw material for these important commodities, the project is expected to save 500,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year.

This initiative brings together the best minds and organizations interested in the future of the Middle East region and acts as a catalyst to transform ideas to industry.

Currently under construction in Riyadh’s Techno-Valley, the Home of Innovation™ facility will showcase innovative yet commercially available advances in energy-efficient building design, construction, operation, and management that support a sustainable lifestyle. It will serve as a platform to showcase and explore ideas that address energy-related challenges and opportunities in the region.

WORLD’S BIGGEST CO2 pLANT

This glazing solution was demonstrated in 2014 when it was used for the all-plastic windows of the Visio.M, a lightweight urban electric concept vehicle developed by the Technical University of Munich, BMW, Daimler and a consortium of industry participants. SABIC’s material reduces the vehicle’s weight by over 13 kg compared to conventional glass. Because of this, it is possible to extend range by 2 km on a single battery charge. The low weight also enables improved acceleration and vehicle handling. Additionally, the lightweight material offers 100 times the impact resistance of glass, increasing the security of the car. It also provides superior insulating properties, reducing demands on the car’s heating and air conditioning (HVAC) system and extending range even further – by up to 15 km.

SLIMMERSMARTpHONESThree saBIc materials helped xiaomi respond to the demand for more compact yet powerful mobile devices.

Manufacturers have always worked to make smartphones increasingly thin, compact, and lightweight to keep pace with growing consumer demands. In addition, an emphasis on aesthetics has led consumers to increasingly value the look and feel of a device alongside its functionality. Mobile Internet company Xiaomi selected SABIC’s LNp™ THERMOCOMp™ compound, LNp™ THERMOCOMp™ LDS compound, and LEXAN™ EXL resin to create a smartphone that met complex technical specifications without sacrificing design and aesthetic appeal, allowing it to stand apart from the competition.

Xiaomi used SABIC’s new grade of LNp™ THERMOCOMp™ compound, along with SABIC’s LNp™ THERMOCOMp™ LDS, to create a new smartphone frame that required strength, stiffness, impact resistance, and an integrated antenna. This last feature is attractive because it can reduce the size of the device and eliminate the secondary process of incorporating a separate antenna into the phone, helping to reduce assembly time and cost. Additionally, SABIC’s LEXAN™ EXL resin was selected to allow for rich, jewel-toned colors for the backing of the device.

“SABIC DELIVERED A COMBINATION OF MATERIALS THAT ENABLED XIAOMI TO INTEGRATE THE ANTENNA INTO THE FRAME OF THE pHONE, WHICH HELpED TO REDUCE THE pART SpACE AND WEIGHT WITHOUT SACRIFICING DESIGN OR pERFORMANCE. SABIC’S ABILITY TO OFFER ALL THREE MATERIALS ENABLED THEM TO DEVELOp THIS INDUSTRY-LEADING SMARTpHONE.

GLASS ALTERNATIVESFOR SCREENSAND MONITORS

MATERIAL SECURITY

saBIc announced in 2014 that it will be manufacturing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) for the first time in Saudi Arabia, offering high-performance solutions for metal and glass replacements that could lead to weight and cost savings.

smart card, passport and e-ID manufacturers can now integrate next level security features using a patented UV laser technology thanks to the new lExan™ SD film overlay, a polycarbonate (Pc) based material from saBIc.

pMMA is being used by leading electronics brands to make LCD screens and monitors due to its excellent clarity, scratch resistance, durability, and impact-resistance. pMMA will be produced in Jubail by the Saudi Methacrylates Company, a newly established 50/50 joint venture company between SABIC and Mitsubishi Rayon Company (MRC). Besides electronics, pMMA will serve a number of applications and industries, helping customers tackle some of the industry’s most pressing challenges and respond to broader sustainability needs.

The demand for more sophisticated solutions to protect government ID cards and other related documents has led SABIC to pioneer the development of a pC material technology. This advance enables customers to apply a ghost image into the card or document and create a tactile white marking which will fluoresce under UV light, all during the personalization phase, giving manufacturers greater flexibility in design.

With the LEXAN™ SD film’s low and controlled shrinkage, manufacturers can use heat and pressure to join all layers together to form a card that cannot be pulled apart. The films are also ideal for different printing and security features as they can be screen-printed, offset-printed, or even hot-stamped to integrate a hologram. potential applications for SABIC’s portfolio of LEXAN™ SD films include electronic ID cards, government and police ID cards, passport data pages, and driver’s licenses.

SUSTAINABILITY: A FOUNDATION OF OUR 2025 STRATEGY

CORpORATE SOCIAL RESpONSIBILITY

Through sustainability, we focus on creating lasting value for stakeholders and our business. To achieve this, we work on material solutions that address the social, environmental, and economic sustainability issues that affect our business and beyond.This year we launched our 2025 corporate strategy, positioning sustainability as a foundation that supports our strategic pillars. We made this decision deliberately, recognizing that the way in which we secure our feedstock, manage our sites, develop our people, and innovate our product portfolio will not only help us achieve our business goals, but also enable saBIc’s continued growth and economic success, in harmony with the natural environment.

naTUral caPITalUsing resources efficiently is one of SABIC’s foremost sustainability priorities. To improve our manufacturing process efficiency, we have set goals – in line with our 2025 strategy – to reduce greenhouse gases, energy, and water intensity by 25 percent and material loss intensity by 50 percent against 2010 levels. Several SABIC affiliate plants in Saudi Arabia have performed energy efficiency benchmarking against global competitors, and are working on closing the identified gaps toward top quartile global performance.

These site assessments are part of a structured program towards achieving our 2025 sustainability targets. They have identified many new sustainability improvement ideas, which can eventually be translated into viable projects. One such example was the extensive energy efficiency and boiler upgrades at the Al-Bayroni plant – a 50/50 joint venture with the Taiwan Fertilizer Company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

But our work goes beyond efficiency to include the use of alternative feedstock sources. For example, our business units are taking a coordinated approach to improve CO2 utilization in our manufacturing processes. Additionally, 2015 will see the completion of a project to capture high-purity CO2 and use it to produce urea, methanol and industrial-grade CO2 product. The new SAFCO V plant will capture more than 900,000 metric tons of CO2 to produce fertilizers. Overall, SABIC’s manufacturing assets showed that our sustainability performance exceeded 2014 targets.

hUMan caPITalSABIC relies on its people in order to implement the 2025 strategy. That is why in 2014 we made significant, long-term investments in workforce development. With the introduction of 12 career lines and individualized professional development strategies, SABIC is shifting to a culture that rewards top performance. In addition, we are working towards an organizational refresh focused on strategic markets and introducing transformation programs to increase the agility of our employees. Success in 2025 also requires a diverse and inclusive workforce, and in 2014 SABIC took positive steps on gender diversity by hiring our first female employees in Jubail and Yanbu.

sUsTaInaBIlITy InnOVaTIOnIntegrating sustainability into SABIC’s innovation process has helped to build a 2025 pipeline of solutions that meet our sustainability challenges as well as those of our markets. It enables SABIC’s new generation of products to perform better with a reduced footprint compared with incumbent market solutions. In 2014, SABIC’s sustainability team launched an effort to integrate and assess sustainability criteria at each stage-gate of new Technology & Innovation (T&I) projects. The intention was to maximize the sustainability benefits of all new products. We have internally qualified 13 new products as sustainability solutions, adding to the 32 existing solutions across all business units.

One such example is SABIC’s first portfolio of certified renewable polyolefins. Launched in 2014, and developed at SABIC’s T&I Center in Geleen, Netherlands, the innovation saw SABIC become the first chemical company capable of producing renewable second- generation polyolefins made from waste fats and oils. This accomplishment came as a result of collaboration both upstream and downstream in SABIC’s value chain. SABIC’s Fertilizers business also saw success in this area, as production began on a new technical-grade urea used in diesel and heavy oil-based factories that reduces NOx and SOx emissions.

lOOKIng ahEaDIn 2014, SABIC has committed to sustainability by improving our operational footprint, increasing our employees’ knowledge and competence, and building a pipeline of more sustainable products. Sustainability is fundamental to our corporate strategy, and we look forward to developing ways to further integrate it into our business processes.

In 2014, we made significant progress in advancing our commitment to global communities through charitable contributions, employee volunteer programs, in-kind contributions and unique projects and sponsorships. We also joined hands with numerous sovereign governments, universities, public institutions, foundations, and civil society organizations around the world. We invested sr 64.7 million in education, healthcare, community development, and environmental-protection programs, forming sustainable strategy relationships and holding awareness-raising events.

hEalTh anD WEllnEssTowards the end of 2014, SABIC signed an agreement with Saudi National Committee for Narcotics Control and began the five-year, SR 50 million SABIC National program for Drug prevention (NEBRAS). We continued our work with the zahra Cancer Association to provide a mobile breast cancer detection clinic, which was received by the association late in 2014. Our Disabled Children’s Association scholarship program continues, and work began to establish a building for pre-school and elementary students at the first model school for children with Down’s syndrome. Furthermore, SABIC carried out an eye-care program in India, ‘They See, They Learn’, for close to 20,000 less-privileged students from government-aided schools and provided them with vision-correction treatment and surgery.

EDUcaTIOnSABIC signed a SR 7 million agreement with the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) to support the Saudi Science and Creativity Festival. We also completed preparations for the 2015 SABIC Science Caravan in Saudi Arabia. An Innovation Award, a Technology & Innovation initiative, was launched, which offers prizes totaling SR 10 million to stimulate and support innovative ideas in the smart-plastics industry. The year also saw SABIC continue to implement its Smart Investor program, which teaches children the principles of money saving and management. We also supported the Educational Museum in Europe and inspired 28 postgraduate students from two prestigious universities in China to create innovative, economic, and environmentally friendly solutions for waste plastic and 3D printing.

EnVIrOnMEnTal PrOTEcTIOnIn 2014, SABIC implemented the “Waste-Free Environment” initiative in cooperation with the Gulf petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GpCA) where a number of company employees and volunteers participated in cleaning a desert area in Riyadh. SABIC employees in the United States conducted a similar

campaign for cleaning Miramar Beach. In Singapore, 20 SABIC employees conducted educational workshops for about 200 students from elementary school to encourage optimal use of natural resources such as water and energy, and minimize carbon-dioxide and waste production.

cOMMUnITy EngagEMEnTSome of SABIC’s prominent community programs in 2014 were the SABIC Knowledge Arena in Hail, the SABIC Knowledge Beacon in Jubail, and the SABIC School Bag project in Riyadh, Jubail and Yanbu. We continued to support the SABIC Employees Charity Fund (BERR) through a donation of SR 8.7 million, which doubles the total amount of donations to the Fund provided by company employees. Under a special funding relationship formed with our joint venture affiliate Al-Bayroni, SABIC bought a SR 10 million endowment for the benefit of the Autism Families Society and a SR 23 million endowment for SABIC Employees Charity Fund. Along with Joannou & paraskevaides, the contractor for SABIC’s staff housing project in Riyadh, SABIC also plans to establish a SR 15 million drug-rehabilitation center in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Diriyah province.

“raIsE” csr sTraTEgySABIC developed its CSR strategy, RAISE, a global CSR framework to ensure corporate contributions and employee volunteering adhere to the following criteria: R: Reputation, Raises SABIC’s overall visibility and reflects positively on corporate identity; A: Audience, Addresses key community needs and engages key stakeholders; I: Innovation, Includes a novel approach or new technology that distinguishes SABIC’s leadership; S: Strategy, Complements business interests and aligns with company values; E: Endurance, Promotes a socially responsible culture and generates a positive and lasting impact. RAISE supports priority CSR areas: Environmental protection, Water and Sustainable Agriculture, Science and Technology Education, and Health and Wellness.

sPOnsOrshIPsSABIC continued sponsoring events and activities that support social programs and activities. In 2014 this included gifted-people programs, charity programs, economic conferences and seminars, and sporting and cultural events. We continued to make donations to charitable organizations, while sponsoring a number of programs and events organized by SABIC affiliates in Jubail and Yanbu.

TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION

Technology and Innovation (T&I) was a key driver for saBIc’s growth in 2014, contributing to our market share and position in the petrochemicals industry. Our first Innovation Day at the company’s headquarters in Riyadh was a significant milestone on the journey to becoming a more innovative and sustainable company. Innovation Day showcased our innovation story from invention to new products and processes.

METrIcsSABIC is working on over 889 research projects concurrently around the world, each contributing to new technologies that will drive our business forward. In 2014, we hit a new record for patent applications, filing a patent every 19 hours. Each patent is based on the work of an average of four researchers, and this patent efficiency is better than anyone else in the chemical industry top ten. At SABIC, our strategy relies on innovation as a key contributor to profits, so successful innovation has helped us see a substantial increase in sales of products developed in-house over the past few years, especially in market-focused SBUs such as polymers and Innovative plastics.

InnOVaTIOn FOOTPrInTSABIC continued its double-digit resourcing growth in 2014, raising the number of SABIC professionals fully dedicated to innovation to over 2,000. Proximity to key manufacturing hubs, as well as to agglomerations of specifiers and talent, has defined our innovation footprint. We have established hubs in five key regions: USA, Western Europe, Saudi Arabia, Southeast Asia, and North East Asia.

Additionally, our new T&I centers – opened in 2013 in Riyadh, Thuwal, Shanghai, and Bengaluru – are now in full operation. They were joined in 2014 by a new Technology Center in South Korea. This Center focuses on Electronics and Electrical & Lighting Science and Technology in association with the prestigious Sungkyunkwan University in Suwon, South Korea. Sungkynkwan is home to some of the world’s leading experts in innovative technology for the electronics and electrical and lighting industries.

In Saudi Arabia, SABIC announced plans to significantly expand its footprint in Jubail at Innovation Day. The Technology Center there is expected to be up-and-running in three years and will house up to 500 researchers. Its focus will be on process chemistry and engineering. In 2014, SABIC continued to expand its network of innovation associates. Highlights include signing a collaboration agreement with the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), which is the largest national laboratory organization in the world, comprising more

than a hundred institutes and tens of thousands of scientists. SABIC further extended its commitment to groundbreaking technology by signing an agreement with HTE – a leader in high-throughput technologies. These technologies are being mastered for advanced catalysis efforts, among other uses.

Last but not least, Innovation Day saw SABIC sign an a Memorandum of Understanding with KAUST, further extending a long-standing cooperative relationship. SABIC will commit a minimum amount of additional resources, primarily for chemical catalysis and nanotechnology initiatives. The program will hone and extend the talent of SABIC’s innovation professionals via a combination of higher education and visiting scientist assignments. This renewed approach will be extended to other Saudi Arabian universities throughout 2015, starting with KSU.

hIghlIghTsSABIC’s ambition to become a leading deployer and licensor of its own technology is reflected in the many plants that SABIC is building with proprietary technology. This includes acetic-acid technology, linear alpha olefins, and the forthcoming ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene in Saudi Arabia and polycarbonate in China.

Additionally, our joint-venture with Clariant leads the licensing of technology for ethylene oxide and glycol manufacturing. We are hard at work monetizing and extending our LAO, LDPE, and ABS technology offerings. SABIC also recently revealed that a number of its heavily patent-protected breakthroughs are in the final stages of evaluation. These include technologies that fully convert oil to chemicals, and directly convert syngas to olefins.

Regarding products, SABIC outlined its market-focused approach at Innovation Day, emphasizing solutions for Consumer Electronics, Transportation, Construction, packaging, and Nutrients. These innovative solutions are in the cell phones you have in your pockets, in the cars you drive, and in the houses that you live in. Even the food that sustains you has likely been grown or preserved by SABIC.

Throughout the year, in collaboration with our associates, SABIC has been innovating in a range of areas. Some of the highlights include:

– The first transparent conductive polycarbonate film material, aimed at bringing the response times of small-size touchscreens to large-format touchscreens. The film also provides high transparency, flexibility and formability. Applications for this material include automotive windows, better EMI shielding effectiveness for electronics, and transparent WiFi/Bluetooth antennas for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and all-in-one computers.

– The world’s first thermoplastic composite wheel, made possible by SABIC® resin. This product could potentially replace traditional tires made of metal and aluminum alloy, offering a far lighter design that saves fuel and reduces emissions.

– A new range of non-phthalate polymer products to fulfill demands for advanced solutions in various segments such as hygiene fabrics and flexible packaging.

– A new technical grade urea that is used in diesel and heavy oil-based engines to reduce NOx and SOx emissions.

grOWIng MarKET sEgMEnTs2014 saw SABIC place particular emphasis on two areas: nanotechnology and additive manufacturing. The aggressive growth of these areas has encouraged SABIC to seek a leading position in their innovation and manufacture. SABIC is also working towards a strong positioning in nanofabrication, both in

traditional chemical industry fields like catalysis, and in target market segments like Energy Storage, Energy Generation, Automotive & Light Truck, Consumer Electronics, and Construction. This will be achieved by making nanointermediates more viable for industrial implementation through improved scale-up, ease and effectiveness of use, and teaming up with customers. A tangible example of this is the formation of our joint-venture with molecular rebar design. Together we will develop and commercialize nanomaterials for select market segments and applications.

Additionally, additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, has taken great strides thanks to SABIC materials. In 2014, SABIC played a part in the creation of a first-of-its-kind concept vehicle using advanced 3D printing. Our carbon-fiber-reinforced compound was chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and high stiffness, which minimizes warping during the 3D printing process, enabling enhanced aesthetics and performance. Additionally, SABIC’s expertise in this emerging technology – including material selection and validation, equipment specification and processing – was instrumental throughout the development process. SABIC’s leadership in this area was recognized at the 4th International Conference on Additive Manufacturing Technologies in Bengaluru, India.

ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY (EHSS)

COMpLIANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Protection of human health, safety, and the environment is one of saBIc’s most important values. We continually strive to protect the environment and the health, safety and security of our communities, our personnel, and our assets. We believe it is imperative to create a culture that not only meets regulatory requirements, but also goes beyond compliance and continually strives to improve our Ehss performance.

saBIc’s compliance and risk-management processes are designed to safeguard and promote the interests of all our stakeholders, including customers, employees, shareholders, and communities. We build and maintain world-class compliance and risk-management processes through our legal affairs, Enterprise risk Management, and Internal audit departments. In 2014, the saBIc Board of Directors formed a risk and compliance committee to ensure effective Board oversight for managing the company’s key risks. This committee will complement the Board’s audit committee in promoting compliance and risk-management controls across saBIc.KEy PErFOrMancE InDIcaTOrs

anD cOnTInUOUs IMPrOVEMEnTWe monitor a set of EHSS key performance indicators for our facilities and across the supply chain to continuously improve EHSS performance. Since 2005, the OSHA recordable injury rate for direct hire employees has improved by 32 percent, and the injury rate including contractor employees has improved by 56 percent. A key measure of EHSS performance across SABIC is the SHER (Safety, Security, Health, and Environmental Incident Rate), an internally developed metric that encompasses process safety, occupational health and safety, environment, and security. SABIC’s SHER has improved by 81 percent since 2005.

saFETy, sEcUrITy, hEalTh & EnVIrOnMEnT ManagEMEnT sTanDarDs (shEMs)These comprehensive, state-of the-art management standards are the cornerstone of our EHSS program. They establish consistent, global procedures for all aspects of EHSS. All these standards are living documents, subject to periodic review, which reflect our drive to continually improve by embedding global best practices in our operations and integrating new learning from within and outside our industry.We continually assess the effectiveness and extent of SHEMS implementation within SABIC through an extensive audit and assurance program. The results show significant improvement each year. The SHEMS program has now been implemented at all sites globally.

rEsPOnsIBlE carE® PrOgraM As part of our drive to go beyond compliance, SABIC has adopted the Responsible Care® program. The Responsible Care® program was developed by the chemical industry to promote continuous improvement in EHSS performance for facilities, processes, and products. SABIC is leading the Responsible Care® initiative in the Middle East through the Gulf petrochemicals and Chemicals Association. During 2014, all relevant sites in Europe received Responsible Care® RC14001 certification, while the Middle East and Americas region maintained this certification.

PrODUcT sTEWarDshIP We have implemented extensive programs to promote the safety of our products, including a new SHEMS element that helps enhance the growth of a strong product stewardship culture within SABIC.

PrOcEss saFETyprocess safety is critical for ensuring that our processes are safely designed, constructed, maintained, and operated. We held workshops in each region to raise awareness and application of process-safety principles within SABIC. We also hosted the second process safety symposium and workshops in Jubail and Yanbu, which were attended by senior executives from SABIC and its affiliates.

eshEMs To promote continuous improvement, EHSS programs depend on timely reporting of EHSS incidents and identification of their root causes. SABIC is replacing its existing legacy systems with eSHEMS, an integrated web-based system that will allow for more effective assessment of SABIC’s EHSS performance, in line with our 2025 strategy.

EMErgEncy rEsPOnsE anD crIsIs ManagEMEnTWhile we have many programs and processes to prevent emergencies, we recognize the importance of being prepared to respond rapidly and appropriately to any such events. Our emergency management program is designed to promote effective crisis-management systems at local, regional, and global levels. It includes crisis management teams and creates a framework to identify opportunities for improvement. During 2014, we conducted five global crisis-management drills, at both site and business level.

Ehss aWarD PrOgraM Recognition of excellence is a key element in creating a sound EHSS culture. Every year, we present EHSS Awards to SABIC facilities that have demonstrated excellence in their EHSS programs.

lEgal aFFaIrsLegal Affairs provides proactive support to manage legal risk for the business, while promoting growth through commercial transactions, M&A activities, strategic counseling, etc. The team also supports the company’s 2025 goals in two key areas: (i) building and maintaining robust compliance processes and a strong compliance culture to foster the highest ethical standards; and (ii) working closely with technology and business leaders to maximize the value of our innovation activities through strategic intellectual-property protection. As part of our Compliance program, SABIC employees completed some 300,000 Code of Ethics training modules in 2014, with overall completion rates exceeding 98 percent. We held Compliance Review and Risk Mitigation sessions with 39 business leaders, launched a desktop Compliance reporting tool, and conducted focus groups with 2,600 employees to increase comfort with reporting Compliance concerns.

Our Legal team also has a leading role in promoting SABIC’s commitment to fighting corruption, including participation in the B20 Task Force on Transparency and Anti-Corruption, the United Nations Global Compact, the World Economic Forum, and events sponsored by the Saudi National Anti-Corruption Commission. Transparency International recently placed SABIC in the top quartile of the world’s 124 largest public companies based on the strength of its anti-corruption program and reporting practices.

In Intellectual property, we grew our original patent applications by more than 20 percent in 2014 and built our overall patent estate to more than 10,600 global dockets. We are actively using this portfolio to boost margins and drive growth. In addition, our Ip awareness training has reaped substantial benefits, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where we saw a significant increase in patent filings in 2014.

EnTErPrIsE rIsK ManagEMEnTDuring 2014, the ERM department continued the rollout and implementation of the Business Continuity Management (BCM) process, which raises the level of

readiness to respond to unexpected interruptions and increase business resilience. This is consistent with ISO 22301 for BCM and in 2014, one of SABIC’s manufacturing sites was certified under ISO 22301. ERM will continue to support SABIC’s other manufacturing sites globally in obtaining this certification within the next four years. ERM has conducted several risk-assessment and business-continuity workshops covering multiple sites. Our goal is to have risk management and business continuity fully embedded within SABIC’s culture to enhance our ability to prevent and respond to risks. With a distinctly aligned ERM function and a robust risk governance and oversight structure, appropriate escalation and cascading of risk information and mitigation actions is carried out throughout the organization. This provides the board and stakeholders with the assurance that potential threats and weaknesses are detected and managed proactively. In 2014, SABIC continued to utilize its Compliance and Risk Management system to support risk-management processes executed by its ERM and Legal Compliance teams, reviewing two Business Units and two Corporate Functions.

SUppLY CHAIN MANUFACTURING

Derived from saBIc’s overall 2025 strategy, our global supply chain strategy aims to ensure a sustainable supply chain. an assessment carried out with Pennsylvania state University (PsU) endorsed our EMDaD supply chain transformation project as a solid base for moving towards our 2025 goals.

With over 60 percent of our major assets benchmarked as demonstrating 1st-2nd quartile on-stream reliability, our aim remains to retain this leadership. By end of 2014, our global asset landscape was subjected to rigorous criticality assessments covering one million pieces of equipment worldwide, and we created reliability and maintenance plans for over 400,000 equipment items. asset reliability has improved by approximately 0.35 percent year-on-year, equivalent to a 500 KMT production improvement.

sUsTaInaBIlITySABIC developed a “SusCHAINability” program with the Institute for Sustainable Leadership at the University of Cambridge, with the aim of becoming the recognized supply-chain sustainability leader in the chemical industry. In November, we launched the world’s first LNG-powered gas carriers to cut the environmental impact of chemical transport. The two ships will reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxides, and CO2 by 85, 100, and 20 percent respectively. polymers in Asia has introduced LNG-powered trucks in China, aiming to convert its entire fleet to LNG within five years.

SABIC’s Innovative plastics business has introduced measurements to identify the most sustainable shipping methods and its Americas Supply Chain has reduced greenhouse gas intensity by 11 percent, saving 19kt of CO2 emissions. polymers has led the way in developing safety guidelines for tipping bulk trailers. In the Gulf, SABIC aligned with the Gulf petro Chemical Association (GpCA) and developed a Sustainability and Quality Assessment System (SQAS) for the region. The assessment scheme ensures that world-class road transport standards are maintained internally and for our partners. Metals implemented new haulage regulations to ensure sustainable, safe, and reliable delivery.

caPaBIlITyMarch saw the launch of the Early Career program, part of the Supply Chain Career Development program. Career paths and guidelines are now available to over 1,100 employees. The “Functional Competency Model” was piloted, covering over 50 employees in nine countries and achieving a 100 percent assessment rate. Our “Applied Learning” collaboration with pSU continued, applying supply-chain improvement projects to Chemicals, Innovative plastics, and polymers. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia it has created an enhanced end-to-end view of the value chain to improve product and service delivery into China, and the US project aimed to speed up processes and reduce variation in feedstock network inventory. Innovative plastics used customer-segmentation work and value-chain diagnostics to uncover competitive intelligence and unmet needs, and develop new value-added service offerings.

InFrasTrUcTUrESABIC’s Jubail portside Logistics Facility reduced lead time to Saudi ports by four days and cut the collection of empty containers from other ports by 20-25 percent. In Asia, two additional container hubs in Malaysia and China will improve lead times for customers. To support large long-range ships, the Chemicals business has contracted a large storage facility in Shanghai.

SABIC formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Saudi Arabian Railways, which will enhance customer services, expand transportation options and reduce fuel consumption. Effective scheduling helped the Metals business dispatch a record 5.67 million tons of material with 500 fewer vehicles than 2013. For performance Chemicals, a new flexi tank packaging solution has reduced costs by over 50 percent while increasing load capacity.

PrOcEss anD sysTEMsThe FANAR+ program was introduced to ensure a global and uniform platform for standardized planning and operations. Rollout will be in 2015 for Europe and the Innovative plastics business. The Global Supply Chain Council was established to create an official forum to discuss cross-business supply chain matters, sustainability projects and to share best practices. The global rollout of a standard customer service organization continues and is now complete at Chemicals, polymers and Innovative plastics. Changes to bulk delivery have further improved reliability and cost at polymers, while Innovative plastics has reduced delivery cycles with a plant resizing program. Fertilizers is now certified to export to New Zealand and at Metals, inventory days are down 4 percent.

sTraTEgIc sOUrcIngCentral, global sourcing is rolling out best-in-class procurement and category management practices. This helps capture synergies and improve transparency and will be supported by an e-sourcing process and tool to create global visibility of vendors’ capability, performance, contracts and pricing.

ManUFacTUrIng WOrK PrOcEssEsOur success centers on our ability to apply best-in-class Manufacturing Work processes across our global assets effectively and consistently, supported by a world-wide network of technical experts. The Manufacturing Work processes, which are fully equipped with guidance materials, training, and adoption methodology, play a major role in the transformation journey of the Manufacturing organization towards excellence. All Tier 1 work processes (with the highest priority and business value) are now ready for deployment, and structural rollout will begin in 2015.

Our technical experts at the Manufacturing Center of Excellence have established a program to identify and address reliability bottlenecks and “performance killers” (that is, factors that adversely affect performance) at a global manufacturing level. This helps us to share lessons learned and eliminate root causes across all sites globally. For example, addressing EO Reactor integrity has avoided annual downtime amounting to SR 400 million.

KnOWlEDgE Our Manufacturing Center of Excellence (MCE) continues to attract specialist talent from across the globe. Active networking between the MCE and manufacturing sites enables SABIC to capture, retain, and disseminate knowledge, and develop manufacturing standards and best practices. SABIC Manufacturing Standards (SMS) define requirements to safely and consistently achieve optimum asset utilization for common manufacturing. In 2014, the focus was on change management and driving successful implementation of SMS at sites.

BEnchMarKIngIn 2014, we conducted a record number of benchmarks covering olefins, polyethylene, ammonia/urea, MTBE, methanol and ethylene glycol. With 70 percent of our global assets now benchmarked, we have a clear view of the opportunities that exist; this is important both for our 2025 strategy and for where market conditions and cost constraints continue to be challenging.

rElIaBIlITy aWarD PrOgraMSABIC inspires manufacturing excellence through annual awards for Reliability performance. In 2014, Hadeed won the Gold Award, Al-Bayroni received the Silver Award, and Sharq the Bronze Award. We have seen significant improvements across all KPIs since the launch of this program.

cOsT lEaDErshIPOur Asset performance Management processes have also optimized costs: risk-based equipment inspection plans reduced preventive Maintenance program costs by SR 200 million per year. Benchmarking and site synergies provide further cost optimization opportunities.

“WIN” PROJECTFocused on EHSS, Cost, and Customer Value, this European project, which covers all manufacturing sites in Europe, encompassed over 250 initiatives. By 2014 it had resulted in a total project value delivery ahead of the original SR 1. 2 billion target.

synErgIEsManufacturing synergies are opportunities where we can creatively upgrade certain streams by channeling them into other plants, or through other processes or technologies existing within our diverse assets portfolio for maximum value. We identified several opportunities for such manufacturing synergies in 2014, including the project to use CO2 from United at SABIC affiliates, which has enhanced methanol and urea production and cut ca. 500 KMT of CO2 emissions per year. The BTX synergy project between petrokemya and Saudi Kayan’s benzene unit increased these assets’ production capacity by 25 percent.
