Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 87.00, , course: LRPM, language: English, abstract: Sustainability initiatives advocates for a universally collective vision of evolvement towards a civilization that is impartial, nonviolent and viable for humanity. In addition to environmental maintenance and protection, the concept of sustainability enterprises recognizes the urgency required to enhance the quality of life via strategic practices that facilitate the socio-economic development and address a wide range of issues affecting the contemporary society (Asif, 2016). The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) outlines the regulatory requirement on sustainability programs through the 2030 Vision along with the National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 objectives. These goals show KSA commitment towards the attaining sustainable socioeconomic development that cuts across the contemporary civilization, in the midst of growing focus on sustainability initiatives (Alshuwaikhat & Mohammed, 2017). Nonetheless, the importance of sustainability initiatives has provoked renewed interested within the corporate management due to perceptions that these programs are linked to decreased operational costs and improved revenues. Modern research has supported these assumptions as successful sustainability strategies are believed to have a positive impact on the corporate value (Iwaro & Mwasha, 2013). In this regards, the paper seeks to analyze how organizations in KSA are advantaged by sustainability initiatives in the contemporary organizational management.

These challenges include limited agricultural resources, low self-sufficiency in key food staples, climate change, and high levels of food loss and waste. This book aims to evaluate and analyze the current situation and future prospects of food and nutrition security in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, it seeks to analyze and assess the roles and functions of various institutions related to food security, providing a deeper understanding of the complex problems associated with it. Furthermore, this book aligns with Kingdom Vision 2030, which includes a set of strategies and programs focused on agriculture, food, and water security.

Sustainability is a topic of great interest today, particularly for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, which have witnessed very rapid economic and demographic growth over the past decade. The observed growth has led to unsustainable consumption patterns of vital resources such as water, energy, and food, highlighting the need for an urgent shift towards green growth and sustainable development strategies. Sustainability in the Gulf covers the region’s contemporary development challenges through the lens of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which place sustainability at the centre of the solution to the current environmental, economic, and social imbalances facing GCC countries. The book presents multiple analyses of Gulf-specific sustainability topics, examining the current status, challenges, and opportunities, as well as identifying key lessons learned. Innovative and practical policy recommendations are provided, as well as new conceptual angles to the evolving academic debates on the post-oil era in the Gulf. Through chapters covering sector-related studies, as well as the socio-economic dimensions of the sustainability paradigm, this volume offers valuable insights into current research efforts made by the GCC states, proposing a way forward based on lessons learned. This is a valuable resource for students, academics, and researchers in the areas of Environmental Studies, Political Economy, and Economics of the GCC states.
