‍Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 05, May, 2026 – Aramex, a leading global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, has announced a partnership with Netzero, a Saudi environmental technology company specializing in digitizing afforestation efforts and tracking environmental impact, to plant trees across the industrial cities of Riyadh and Jeddah.

The smart tree initiative marks a key step in Aramex’s ESG efforts, reinforcing its national and global environmental responsibilities, while directly contributing to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative. 

Speaking about the partnership, Abdulaziz Abdullah Al-Nowaiser, General Manager of Aramex in KSA, said: “Sustainability is not a peripheral commitment at Aramex - it sits at the centre of how we operate across every market we serve. In Saudi Arabia, we have a responsibility to contribute meaningfully to the country’s environmental ambitions, and this partnership with netzero allows us to do exactly that. What makes this initiative stand apart is the rigour behind it: every tree is digitally tracked and independently verified, giving our customers, partners and regulators transparent, real-time evidence of the impact we are delivering. We are proud to be planting a green space in the industrial communities where we work every day.”

Reflecting on the partnership, Dr. Mohammed Alshaikh, Co-Founder of Netzero, said:

“At Netzero, we believe that true sustainability is not achieved simply by planting trees, but by building a deeper connection between people and nature, and transforming environmental impact into tangible value that communities can truly experience. Through technology and innovation, we work to turn every tree into a measurable impact that supports sustainability goals, empowers communities, and contributes to building a more balanced and sustainable future for generations to come.”

The initiative includes the planting of Neem and Poinciana trees in selected urban and industrial areas, chosen for their suitability to desert conditions. Both species are well adapted to high temperatures and low rainfall environments and play a role in improving soil quality, providing shade, and enhancing air quality in high-activity operational zones.

By selecting plant species that support urban biodiversity, the initiative aims to deliver tangible benefits to both communities and ecosystems surrounding the two industrial cities.

Founded in 2019 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Netzero is a leading environmental technology company specializing in digitizing afforestation efforts, along with related processes such as documentation, digitalization, and tree gifting. Through its innovative technology for encoding planted trees and managing their data, the company provides its partners with continuous, auditable digital records of all afforestation activities and environmental impact.
