elm, a Saudi Arabia-based digital solutions and information technology services provider, has received the Institutional Excellence Award in the Occupational Health and Safety category for Large and Mega Enterprises 2025, following its achievement of full compliance with national safety requirements.
The award was presented during the Labour Award ceremony, a national initiative launched by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. elm secured the recognition after achieving 100 per cent compliance with the requirements set by the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health, reflecting the company’s adherence to national occupational safety standards.
The Labour Award aims to recognise leading private-sector organisations that demonstrate best practices in workplace safety and employee wellbeing, while encouraging wider adoption of robust occupational health and safety frameworks across the Kingdom.
Majid bin Saad Al Arifi, Official Spokesman and CEO VP of the Marketing Sector at elm, said the Labour Award is among the most significant national initiatives, designed to honour organisations that apply exemplary workplace practices. He noted that elm’s full compliance with the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health regulations highlights the company’s commitment to protecting employee health and safety in line with approved national standards.
Al Arifi added that the recognition was the result of sustained efforts by elm’s internal teams to embed best practices and strengthen a culture of safety throughout the organisation. He highlighted the role of the Corporate Planning and Enablement Group, alongside the active participation of employees in evaluation and survey processes, which contributed directly to the company’s success in securing the award.
The achievement aligns with the objectives of the National Strategic Programme of Safety and Occupational Health, which focuses on improving safety standards across workplaces and promoting a preventative safety culture within private-sector organisations. elm’s approach centres on continuous improvement, internal awareness, and structured systems designed to ensure compliance and accountability.
According to the company, the award reflects an integrated institutional effort, with collaboration across departments to maintain alignment with occupational safety and health regulations. Employees also played a central role, engaging actively in surveys and assessments, supported by an internal communications campaign implemented in September 2025, which was instrumental in qualifying for the national competition.
The recognition further underlines the level of trust placed in elm by government stakeholders and highlights the alignment between the company’s internal strategy and national safety objectives. elm stated that this alignment has supported the efficient delivery of projects and consistent engagement with government partners.
Looking ahead, elm aims to continue strengthening occupational health and safety as a core element of its organisational culture, reinforcing its commitment to creating a safe, motivating, and compliant workplace across all operations.
