Algiers, Algeria | June 22nd, 2025 —  Sonatrach, Algeria’s national oil and gas giant, has reaffirmed its long-standing and unwavering commitment to environmental protection through a high-level seminar on waste management and sustainability, held on Sunday under the direct leadership of the Group CEO, Mr. Rachid Hachichi.

The event, attended by over 150 participants from various subsidiaries and operational units of the Group, was convened as part of Sonatrach’s HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) policy and in alignment with Law No. 25-02 of February 20, 2025, governing the management, control, and elimination of waste.

According to an official statement from the company, the initiative falls within the Group’s strategic ambition to adopt a sustainable consumption and production model, aiming to drastically reduce its environmental footprint and accelerate the transition towards a fully circular economy across all levels of operation.

Discussions during the session focused on a comprehensive diagnostic of existing waste management practices across Sonatrach’s industrial infrastructure. Key themes included identifying technical, organizational, logistical, and regulatory gaps, as well as sharing best practices and technological innovations in waste treatment, recycling, and value recovery.

A key outcome of this meeting will be the development of a concrete operational roadmap extending to 2030. This roadmap will focus on waste minimization at the source, streamlining processes related to sorting, collection, storage, and disposal, and fostering a systematic approach to waste valorization within the framework of the national and international circular economy vision.

This landmark event stands as a clear testament to Sonatrach’s deep and enduring commitment to environmental preservation, ensuring the sustainability of its industrial activities while enhancing compliance with both Algerian and international environmental regulations.

Through this approach, Sonatrach seeks to position itself as a regional leader in responsible resource management and waste reduction, underscoring its strategic alignment with global climate goals and sustainable development standards.
