  • Two agreements to support local suppliers and enhance environmental initiatives in Umluj.

Riyadh,26 September 2025: Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, has signed two cooperation agreements with Sakan Association for Family Development and Green Umluj Association as part of efforts aimed at fostering sustainable community development and environmental protection.
 
These partnerships are in line with RSG’s unwavering commitment to support and empower communities surrounding its destinations.

The agreement includes provisions for providing a flexible working environment for suppliers and exchanging best practices in sustainability and heritage protection.

On the environmental front, RSG signed an agreement partnership with the Green Umluj Association to strengthen joint environmental initiatives and volunteer programs, in order to support efforts to safeguard the marine and terrestrial ecosystems and ensure their sustainability. This collaboration builds on previous successful initiatives between the two parties, most notably the mangrove planting campaign, which saw strong participation from local communities.

“We are committed to building impactful and sustainable partnerships with organizations across the Red Sea region. These agreements will enhance the quality of implemented programs, broaden their positive impact on both society and the environment, and reflect our dedication to expanding collaboration in pursuit of comprehensive and sustainable development,"
