5 SIX STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNITS PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS Our newest SBU, created to produce and market technologically advanced chemical derivatives. We tailor high-value chemicals for specialized industrial and consumer applications. Ethanolamines Ethoxylates Linear alpha olefins Catalysts 2-EH N-butanol DOP Acetic acid Acetone FERTILIZERS We are a global leader in the fertilizers industry, supplying a comprehensive portfolio of nitrogen-based inorganic products. We help solve the world s food supply challenges with a leading position in Middle East, Far East, Africa and the US. Urea Ammonia Phosphates METALS As a leader in the Gulf region for steel production and manufacturing, we produce highquality metals, and have played a vital role in the construction and industrialization of some of the world s fastest growing economies. Long steel Flat steel No. 4

6 OUR GLOBAL OPERATIONS No. 5

7 PRODUCTION HAS MULTIPLIED BY 5 IN 20 YEARS A high rate of growth reaching 69M metric tons in 2011 Production (million tons) Innovative Plastics Metals Fertilizers Polymers Performance Chemicals.439 Chemicals No. 6

8 EXTENDING OUR CAPABILITIES THROUGH ACQUISITION Our acquisition strategy strengthens our ability to provide innovative and global end-to-end solutions for our customers, focusing on: Expanding our reach across the globe, with a diverse manufacturing base and a connected global supply chain Growing our product portfolio to create new possibilities for our customers Advancing our knowledge and expertise to drive our own business performance and add value to our partnerships with customers SABIC has successfully acquired and integrated many successful companies, with three key acquisitions in the last 10 years: DSM PETROCHEMICALS in 2002, our platform for development in Europe Huntsman Petrochemicals (UK) in 2006, renamed SABIC UK Petrochemicals, adding substantial capacity to our Europe operations GE PLASTICS in 2007, now our Innovative Plastics SBU, opening the way for advanced materials No. 7

9 SABIC & SUSTAINABILITY No. 8

10 PEAK OIL/GAS IS NEAR No. 9

11 OIL USE 7% of oil is used in chemical industry No. 10

12 OIL PRODUCTION SINCE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST No. 11

13 BIO BASED ECONOMY BEFORE No. 12

14 BIO BASED ECONOMY BEFORE AND AFTER No. 13

15 BBE FOR THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY Concept: Idea: In practice we need: 900,000 farms (with a total of 60 million cows) producing 200 million ton manure To produce feedstock for a single world scale PE plant No. 14

16 GREEN FEEDSTOCKS GREEN CERTIFICATES? Transition from fossil based to bio based is: Expensive Difficult Long lasting Riskfull (eg. Market acceptance) Certification can facilitate this transformation: Fast Transparant Step wise Growth of the share of bio based feedstock. No. 15

17 CERTIFICATION: PHYSICAL (FULL) SEGREGATION Your renewable (green) feedstock goes all the way through a dedicated chain giving the green/sustainable product that you can sell. Example: Fair trade coffee No. 16

18 CERTIFICATION: BOOK AND CLAIM Your green feedstock enters the chain at a certain point replacing fossil based intermediate. The green certificate allows to claim that a product is green. Example: Green electricity No. 17

19 CERTIFICATION: MASS BALANCE Your renewable (green) feedstock replaces part of the normal feedstock in the production proces giving a certain percentage of green product. Example: Gasoline No. 18
