Halal Mark Track Aligned With ESG Standards Elevates The Saudi Halal Ecosystem

The Saudi Halal Center, part of the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, has introduced the Halal Mark Track aligned with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. The programme seeks to strengthen confidence in halal products and support sustainable growth across the halal sector.

The Halal Mark Track aligned with ESG standards is described as a strategic project for the halal industry. It is designed to raise quality and compliance levels, help local and international companies improve efficiency, and increase export prospects while consolidating the Kingdom’s role in global halal trade.

The new track brings together the Kingdom’s approved halal standards, overseen by the Saudi Halal Center, with ESG compliance requirements. This combined approach supports a more reliable halal ecosystem and reflects Saudi Arabia’s leadership position in the worldwide halal market.

By unifying technical halal rules with ESG standards, the Halal Mark Track aligned with ESG standards aims to increase trust in certified products. The system also helps strengthen their competitive position in regional and international markets, as buyers and regulators increasingly look for clear sustainability and governance commitments.

The initiative is built on cooperation between Halal Product Development Company, owned by the Public Investment Fund, and THIQAH. The partnership focuses on creating an advanced halal ecosystem under the Halal Mark Track aligned with ESG standards, improving the experience of beneficiaries and ensuring consistent and accurate evaluation of products and services.

Establishments that obtain the Halal Mark Track aligned with ESG standards are expected to gain higher recognition and support their expansion inside and outside the Kingdom. The track enables manufacturers and service providers to meet quality and sustainability requirements through a trusted system that reflects international developments in this field.

Through this coordinated approach, the Halal Mark Track aligned with ESG standards is set to help companies upgrade operations, broaden export channels, and reinforce Saudi Arabia’s status as a central hub in the global halal industry, while aligning the sector with wider ESG objectives.
