Oman’s industrial sector is increasingly adopting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, aiming to align with global sustainability standards. Leading firms, like Oman Cables Industry (OCI), are integrating ESG into their operations with a strong focus on digital transformation to drive innovation and achieve decarbonization. OCI’s CEO, Erkan Aydogdu, emphasizes its commitment to using cutting-edge technologies and digital solutions to enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.
Their comprehensive ESG plan includes digital strategies for Net-zero Emissions, Circularity, and Sustainable Finance, supported by a steering committee and six dedicated teams. OCI also prioritizes Omanisation, with 51% of its workforce being Omani nationals, and plans to expand and invest in digital and renewable technologies for sustainable growth.
