Located in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, Abdullah Abdin Ready-Mix Concrete has always prioritized quality and innovation in its production processes. With this certification, the company not only reinforces its dedication to sustainability but also sets a benchmark for other companies in the industry. The recognition comes as part of a global initiative started in 2017 to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the concrete sector.
The CSC certification is the only internationally applicable system for ready-mix and precast concrete, underscoring the rigorous standards that companies must meet to obtain it. As of now, 1288 plants across 25 countries have achieved this certification, which is acknowledged by key green building labels such as LEED and BREEAM.
