The company considers the internationalization of the Saudi capital market very promising and is especially impressed by the Saudi Exchange's progress opening to foreign investors, “The Saudi Exchange is doing an outstanding job of welcoming potential foreign investors and opening the Saudi market to offshore companies. We see this as a great opportunity to diligently expand our operations and diversify into new ventures given a promising and robust market.”

The company’s long-term goal for its Petroleum Services arm is to provide total convenience to all motorists serving as a one-stop haven to refuel, rest and relax. In addition, it aims to provide comprehensive transport solutions with a wide array of fleet and a full services logistics portfolio for its Transport/Hauling Logistics Services.

Operating the business in a socially responsible manner is a priority for ALDREES, as it recently began its shift toward reducing its carbon footprint in service stations, from incorporating LED light fixtures to fuel pump automations, while also replacing heavy-duty vehicles to comply with the required carbon emission standards.

ALDREES believes that integrating technological advancement into all its business units will drive sustainable business growth. It has invested heavily in research and development for its IT unit.

ALDREES highlights the rapid change in the sector and welcomes recent moves to open the local market to international firms, “We look forward with optimism to seeing new players in the field, both local and international entities, help expand options for the consuming public, and we expect the wider sector will play an important role in fulfilling the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.”

The company’s logistics centers are strategically located in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Yanbu, Jubail, Jizan Haditha and Wa’ad Al Shamal.

Being listed on the Saudi Exchange strengthened ALDREES' position in a competitive sector. The listing not only enables ALDREES to raise essential capital, but also provides valuable evidence of ALDREES' strong corporate governance that attracts high-quality customers. While this is an advantage, the company maintains a focus on innovation to stay ahead of its competitors.

It was the first company in the Kingdom to adopt an electronic fueling system using radio frequency identification technology and equip all service stations with contactless payment systems.

The company has also developed further smart initiatives in market research analysis, IT systems and staff training.

Sustainability is central to ALDREES’ growth plans. In line with Vision 2030’s commitment to reducing pollution, ALDREES has sought to limit its carbon footprint by introducing a range of clean technologies at its service stations. It has also taken steps to reduce carbon emissions from its transport fleet, with vehicles recalibrated or replaced to comply with carbon emissions standards.
