Saudia Dairy and Foodstuff Company (SADAFCO) ranks among the highest performing non-financial companies in corporate governance among listed companies on Tadawul, based on the Alfaisal Corporate Governance Index (Alfaisal CGI) assessment for the Fiscal Year 2024, issued by the Corporate Governance Center at Alfaisal University.
\nEstablished in 2017 in collaboration with consultants from Harvard University and Kobirate, the Alfaisal CGI evaluates Saudi listed companies across core governance pillars, including the Board of Directors, Shareholders\u2019 Rights, Public Disclosure & Transparency, and Stakeholders\u2019 Rights. The assessment aligns with governance principles set by the Capital Market Authority (CMA), the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and aims to strengthen governance standards, transparency, accountability, and sustainable corporate growth.
\nIn recognition of this achievement, SADAFCO was honored with the Corporate Governance Excellence Award Certificate during the Fourth Annual Corporate Governance Conference, held on Thursday, 18 December 2025, at the DoubleTree by Hilton \u2013 Financial District in Riyadh.
\nCommenting on the recognition, Patrick Stillhart, CEO of SADAFCO, said:
\n\u201cThis recognition reflects SADAFCO\u2019s governance culture and the discipline we apply in managing our business. Sound governance and compliance are essential to achieving long-term performance, and we remain committed to accountability and responsible practices across all levels of the company.\u201d
\nSultan Alghamdi, Chief Legal, GRC Officer and Board Secretary, added:
\n\u201cThis recognition reflects the tangible progress the company has achieved in strengthening governance principles and activating oversight and compliance mechanisms during Fiscal Year 2024. It also reaffirms SADAFCO\u2019s continued commitment to further developing and enhancing its governance framework in line with globally recognized best practices and standards, supported by the ongoing confidence of the Board of Directors and executive management. This has contributed to sustaining this achievement and maintaining the company\u2019s ability to consistently earn this recognition.\u201d
\nThe conference was held under the theme \u201cGood Governance for Productivity, People, and Planet\u201d, shedding light on governance frameworks that balance financial performance with social responsibility and environmental sustainability, in support of Saudi Vision 2030.
