About ecoryx
Our name
Ecoryx combines “eco” with the Arabian Oryx, a regional symbol of resilience, embodying our purpose: enabling businesses to thrive while economies and ecosystems flourish together.
Decades ago, the Arabian Oryx vanished from the wild, driven to the brink of extinction. Through visionary leadership and national commitment, it was brought back.
Ecoryx draws inspiration from that remarkable recovery. We empower businesses to succeed commercially while rebuilding the natural and social capital they depend on, demonstrating that profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand.
We bring that same approach to every client: strategic vision, measurable action, and partnerships that create lasting value for businesses, communities, and the environment.
I had the privilege of working for large organizations and also leading my first startup venture. Throughout this journey, I’ve witnessed the evolving landscape of climate change policies and the growing need for businesses to adapt. This experience made me realize the challenges that both SMEs and large corporations face in navigating the complexities of climate change, as well as the immense opportunities that can be unlocked by embracing sustainability.
Inspired by this realization and driven by the ambitious goals of Saudi Vision 2030, Ecoryx was founded with a clear mission: to guide businesses through their net-zero journey. We provide bespoke decarbonization and sustainability services, along with innovative solutions that help transform the challenges of climate change into strategic advantages.
