Industry overview

Government & Semi-Government

Government bodies, municipalities, development authorities and government-owned companies play two roles in environmental performance. They own and operate large portfolios of buildings, facilities, fleets and infrastructure that must comply with the Environmental Law and its Implementing Regulations, and they lead programmes that support national objectives under Vision 2030, the Saudi Green Initiative and the 2060 net-zero target.

Public-sector projects such as roads, parks, public buildings, utilities and urban regeneration often need environmental impact assessment, monitoring programmes and environmental management throughout construction and operation. Entities also commission baseline studies, air quality programmes and environmental audits of the assets and contractors they oversee, and need outputs that are technically sound and easy to use for decision making.

Government-owned and semi-government companies face the same disclosure expectations as listed companies, including ESG reporting and GHG inventories aligned with recognised frameworks. Clear methods, documented data and practical recommendations help entities report consistently, prioritise investment and demonstrate progress against their sustainability commitments.

Environmental challenges

Environmental challenges

01

Large, diverse portfolios

Entities manage offices, depots, facilities, fleets and infrastructure with very different environmental aspects and data quality.

02

Contractor oversight

Many environmental impacts sit with contractors and operators, so entities need audits and reporting that hold them to agreed requirements.

03

Baseline data gaps

Planning and policy decisions need reliable baseline data on air quality, noise, water and land, which is often incomplete.

04

Net-zero and ESG commitments

Entities need GHG inventories, targets and roadmaps that are credible, comparable year to year and aligned with national goals.

05

Procurement-ready scopes

Tenders need clear technical scopes, deliverables and evaluation criteria so environmental services can be procured and compared fairly.

Typical requirements

Typical requirements

Requirements vary by activity, location and permit conditions. We confirm the applicable requirements for your project at the start of every engagement.

  • Environmental impact assessment and environmental permits for public projects, reviewed by NCEC
  • Environmental management and monitoring during construction and operation of public assets
  • Audits of facilities, operators and contractors against regulatory and contract requirements
  • Ambient air, noise and water monitoring programmes to support planning and public information
  • GHG inventories and ESG disclosures aligned with the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-1, GRI or IFRS S1/S2
  • Sustainability and green building requirements for public buildings and developments

How Selorin supports

How Selorin supports

  1. Studies and assessments

    We prepare EIAs, baseline studies and environmental assessments for public projects and programmes, with outputs designed for decision makers.

  2. Audits and oversight

    We audit facilities, operators and contractors and prepare clear findings, corrective action plans and follow-up reviews.

  3. Monitoring programmes

    We design and run air, noise and water monitoring programmes and present the data in reports and dashboards suited to public bodies.

  4. Carbon, ESG and sustainability strategy

    We build GHG inventories, set net-zero roadmaps and prepare ESG and sustainability strategies aligned with national objectives.

Net Zero Advisory

Decarbonisation pathways, science-based target setting, abatement cost analysis and a net-zero roadmap aligned with Saudi Arabia's 2060 net-zero target.

Key benefit: A costed, prioritised path to lower emissions

Sustainability Advisory

Sustainability strategy, policies, targets and KPIs, governance and roadmap, integrated into day-to-day operations and project delivery.

Key benefit: Sustainability goals embedded in how the business operates

Green Building Advisory

Support for LEED, Mostadam and Envision: gap analysis, credit strategy, documentation management and submission coordination from design to construction completion.

Key benefit: A clear route to your target rating, without documentation surprises

Frequently asked questions

Can you help us prepare the technical scope for an environmental tender?

Yes. We can draft technical scopes that set out objectives, methods, deliverables and reporting requirements, so bidders respond to the same specification and proposals can be compared fairly.

How do you build a GHG inventory for an entity with many sites?

We define organisational and operational boundaries, collect energy, fuel, refrigerant and other activity data by site, apply recognised emission factors, and document methods and data gaps. The result is an inventory that can be repeated each year.

Do you provide air quality monitoring for urban areas?

Yes. We design monitoring programmes based on objectives, sources and receptors, select appropriate methods and locations, and report data with quality checks so it can support planning and public communication.
