The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu places significant emphasis on environmental preservation through its initiatives focused on sustainable development and the conservation of natural resources. The Royal Commission is renowned for its efforts to enhance environmental infrastructure within the industrial cities under its administration, where strict standards are applied to reduce pollution and improve air and water quality. 

The Royal Commission is dedicated to improving the efficiency of natural resource utilization and adopting cutting-edge technologies for managing industrial waste in ways that minimize environmental impact. These efforts include landscaping projects around industrial cities and the creation of green spaces, which contribute to improving urban environments and providing recreational areas for residents.

The Royal Commission ensures continuous monitoring of all environmental elements, including air quality, through fixed and mobile stations operating 24/7, as well as monitoring water quality in cooling channels, groundwater, and treated water. Industrial waste is meticulously managed from its generation to its disposal through recycling processes and regular inspections. 

Since its establishment in 1975, the Royal Commission has implemented a series of environmental measures covering industrial activities in its cities. Companies operating within these cities are required to adopt the latest globally available technologies. The Royal Commission issued its first environmental standards in 1999 and updates these standards every five years to address various environmental aspects, such as air, water, and hazardous materials. Environmental permits issued by the Royal Commission are subject to regular review and renewal every five years to ensure facilities’ compliance with the required environmental standards.  
 
Additionally, the Royal Commission promotes environmental awareness through educational programs, training courses, and workshops targeting various groups. Its efforts in this domain have been recognized through numerous regional and international awards, such as the U.S. certification for air quality standards and the ISO 9001 certification for air monitoring operations.
