Saudi real estate developer and a PIF unit Roshn Group has announced the launch of the Roshn Green Initiative Centre (RGIC), its new flagship project that aligns with the Saudi Green Initiative by cultivating trees and plants to enhance its communities and the areas surrounding them.

The RGIC helps promote vegetation growth to restore Saudi Arabia’s natural environment, green Roshn’s communities, and help educate the public on why sustainability matters.

Based in Sedra, the RGIC will serve as the hub for Roshn Green Initiative, offering schools, organisations, and the public a platform to explore and contribute to sustainability initiatives. It will be home to a tree nursery as well as an education centre that will be open to the public.

On the sidelines of the RGIC unveiling, Roshn also signed four sustainability-focused agreements with the National Center for Vegetation Cover, the Environment Fund, the Saudi Investment Recycling Company and the Vegetation Cover Development Foundation (Morooj).  These collaborations will support Roshn’s efforts to promote green concepts such as a circular economy, reducing carbon emissions and supporting ecological regeneration.

Launched during the 93rd Saudi National Day and featuring state-of-the-art technologies to germinate and grow local flora, the RGIC will be able to produce 2,000 trees a year, said Roshn.
