2011 was another landmark year for the regional petrochemicals industry, which now stands at a historic crossroads. Behind it lies three decades of exceptionally successful growth; leveraging advantaged feedstocks, economies of scale, integration and worldleading process technology to build a vibrant, influential and highly profitable industry that is the envy of many others. Regional industry leaders have made a clear choice and that is to create the building blocks for a thriving downstream conversion industry in the Gulf region. The Gulf petrochemicals and chemicals industry has made great strides in implementing and possessing the most material and energy efficient processes that enable producing more sustainable products. Bearing this in mind, the primary objectives of GPCA remain to help foster best practices and standards that will raise the international profile of the Gulf producers and suppliers, address major issues that affect the regional industry and act as a powerful industry voice in responding to these issues.
GPCA at a glance… The Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) is the first trade association of its kind in the Gulf region. And in six short years it has become the benchmark for the region’s industry as well as its voice to the rest of the world. It has established powerful credentials and gained a tangible credibility and trustworthiness. Its burgeoning membership is eloquent testimony to the positive role it plays in promoting the current priorities and issues prevailing in the petrochemical sector. The eight visionary founding members who launched the concept in 2006 are SABIC and TASNEE from Saudi Arabia, QAPCO and QVC from Qatar, PIC and Equate from Kuwait, Borouge from Abu Dhabi, and GPIC from Bahrain. Since then GPCA’s membership base has been growing at the phenomenal rate of 23% per annum. By the end of 2011, GPCA’s full member companies, the regional producers of petrochemical and chemicals, collectively represented as high as 95% of the total Gulf’s petrochemical output by volume, thus, placing GPCA in the unrivalled position of being the industrial spokesperson on matters of importance.

GPCA Annual Report 2011 | 5
Chairman’s Foreword
In six short years the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) has tremendous growth and has positioned itself as the voice of the regional petrochemical industry. GPCA also provides a powerful and effective forum for its members to discuss issues of common interest. The high level of member participation in our many events is a testament to the success of the GPCA leadership and staff – it highlights the excellent progress the Association has achieved in a very short span of time. Equally important, the increased membership is a reflection of the strong interest the global petrochemical and chemical industry has in this region and the important role the gulf industry is poised to play in the very near future. From eight founding members in 2006 to 178 today, the GPCA attracted near to 1600 delegates from over 26 countries world-wide at its 2011 annual forum – an achievement reflecting the global nature of this organization. Year-round events, conferences, conventions, workshops and mini-forums have added an extra dimension to the GPCA’s core activities. Events like the Plastic Summit, Supply Chain Conference, Fertilizer Convention, Responsible Care Workshops and Talent Convention have brought in a record 3150 delegates in 2011. GPCA’s role as a ‘think tank’ and its increasingly important position as a provider of real time industrial knowledge and information has further
enhanced our industry’s profile in the global market place. The launching of its first comprehensive Gulf Petrochemical Database combined with the on-going industry-relevant studies, reports and trends analysis has elevated the GPCA as a trust-worthy source of information and knowledge throughout the global petrochemical industry. In 2011, GPCA continued its efforts to diversify its scope of services and activities. As an example, GPCA is providing valuable know-how on establishing the Responsible Care practices within its members’ facilities. The adoption of Responsible Care Initiative in December 2009 and the progress made since has earned global accolades for GPCA. Notably, GPCA became the youngest-ever association to secure full membership of ICCA’s Responsible Care Leadership Group (RCLG).
GPCA will have increasing responsibility to develop proper responses to the global challenges involved. We will have to incorporate sustainability in our business strategies and processes. Our journey towards excellence will continue and we are ready to meet these challenges with our members’ support. We are set to meet the challenges ahead for the year 2012 and beyond with renewed vigor and energy.
GPCA continued to fulfill its commitment towards the universal principles of the Responsible Care Global Charter by developing performance metrics for its members. The aim is to enhance the image and the reputation of the petrochemical industry by exercising transparency throughout our processes. We have also developed seven Codes of Management Practices covering all aspects of best practices prevalent in the petrochemical and chemical industry for establishing Responsible Care. Future challenges are equally important and strategic to the cause of GPCA. Sustainability is and will continue to be one of the most important issues for our industry.
Mohamed Al-Mady Chairman Board of Directors GPCA Annual Report 2011 | 7
Message from the Secretary General
It is very gratifying that in such a short span of time GPCA has emerged as a reputable platform addressing issues of common interest for the regional industry and charting a road map for the future of this pivotal industry. GPCA has achieved remarkable regional and global recognition as a sole and trustworthy voice of the regional petrochemical and chemical industry. This high credibility factor is a testament to its phenomenal growth. Membership Growth Our platform has grown in stature with each year of our relatively short existence and this is due, in large measure, to the commitment, the high level of interest and the faith that our members have reposed in our charter. We have collectively brought to the table matters of common interest and fostered knowledge and expertise sharing among our members and with our stakeholders and peer international associations.
By the end of 2011, GPCA’s full member companies, the regional producers of petrochemical and chemicals, accounted collectively for about 95% of the total Gulf’s petrochemical output by volume thus, rendering GPCA the legitimate voice of the Gulf industry.

Responsible Care GPCA’s Responsible Care Initiative (RC) has also progressed tremendously, with the number of member companies committing to this initiative increasing from 64% to 81% in 2011. Over 85% of CEOs of full member companies signed the Declaration of Support to GPCA’s Responsible Care Program. In addition to this, the 12 Guiding Principles, a high-level document issued by GPCA, is now being used by GPCA members to develop their Responsible Care Program in alignment with these principles. GPCA Annual Report 2011 | 9
Message from the Secretary General GPCA’s Responsible Care Committee continued in 2011 with the development of the seven Responsible Care Codes. Finalized codes in 2011 were those relevant to: Distribution, CAER and Product Stewardship. In recognition of our successful implementation of the Responsible Care Initiative in the Gulf Region, GPCA became the first ever Association in the world to be granted full membership of Responsible Care Leadership Group (RCLG) of the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) within a short span of two years with a unanimous vote of the Group. Building on that success, we have set several short term and medium range targets in our Responsible Care implementation journey; spanning over a period of one to four years.
41% of the GPCA Annual Forum 2011’s 1594 delegates were from outside the region GPCA as a Networking Platform GPCA continued the growth stride for its regional networking events and this was no more evident than at the Annual Forum 2011 where we welcomed 1594 delegates, a 19% increase from 2010. 41% of the delegates were from outside the region, suggesting that the Annual Forum is now a must-attend event for major global players as well. GPCA’s Second Plastics Summit also witnessed a 30% increase in attendance rate with an unprecedented number of business leaders and key stakeholders from the plastic resin producers and plastic convertors joining together to share thoughts and ideas for continued growth of the regional plastic conversion industry.
Over 250 senior professionals from the GCC region and worldwide attended the Third GPCA Supply Chain Conference in Abu Dhabi, where both challenges and opportunities were address by an august group of speakers. Away from the UAE, we also saw our numbers rise at the Second GPCA Fertilizer Convention in Doha, Qatar. Here we witnessed a 27% increase in delegates, with more than 260 representatives in attendance from 36 countries from across Middle East, China, Europe, CIS and the Americas. Some other highlights of the year included a hugely successful inaugural of the GPCA Talent Convention and the introduction of the GPCA Plastics Innovation Awards.
GPCA strongly believes that sustainability in the new global scenario needs to remain on top of the petrochemicals agenda 2012 Tangible Movement towards Sustainability Sustainability is on top of the agenda in the new global scenario. Although several milestones have been achieved we know that GPCA still has to play a key role in spearheading initiatives designed to create the right environment for achieving the goals set before us. GPCA is committed to being the vanguard of the ‘green race.’ We must see it as a challenge to set the pace by being energy efficient and create products that enable the entire value chain to be more sustainable. Threats and challenges for the plastics industry, in particular marine litter, along with bans on specific plastic items (such as bags and disposable consumer products) and their impact continue to remain high on our agenda. GPCA’s signing of the “Joint
Declaration for Solutions on Marine Litter” and the hosting of plastics industry representatives from across the world in Dubai for a Global Plastics Summit were just some of the 2011 highlights. Strategies and opportunities within the global plastics industry have to be looked at and the positive contribution of plastics to resource efficiency; energy savings and climate change will continue to be articulated to a wider audience. Looking to the Future As we take stock of our successful journey the aspiration now is to become a more active voice for the industry on both regional and international levels and focus attention on major issues that demand our attention, not only in the short term but over the next 10-15 years. With this in mind, we have engaged an international consultancy firm to formulate a new strategy for GPCA and put it up for our members’ endorsement. At this juncture I would also like to acknowledge the positive steps being taken to restore the excellent relations among the Gulf States and our global trade partners with the recent dropping of the antidumping and anti-subsidies cases filed against few of our members. GPCA and its members remains a strong advocate of free trade and an open market policy and we believe these are steps in the right direction. We are looking forward to this year being of special significance in reaching all our objectives and are grateful for the continued support of our valued members.

The Gulf Industry: A Year in Review
What a difference a year makes! After bouncing back from a demand slump prompted by the financial crisis of 2008, Global chemical production advanced on sound footing in 2011, growing by 4.8% as compared to 2010 levels driven by resurgent demand from regional and global markets. Petrochemicals firms in the Arabian Gulf region increased their total annual production capacity to more than 115.994 million tons in 2011 compared to 102.075 million tons in 2010; corresponding to a growth rate of 13.5%. The total sales revenue of GCC-based petrochemicals companies exceeded $100 billion, half of which came from Saudi Arabian Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), which boasted revenues of $50.64 billion and net profit of $7.80 billion in 2011. It is important to note that last year’s successes were not confined to sales and output. From an operational point of view, 2011 was a banner year for Gulf producers, with several major projects being completed. This, together with the rapid development of further projects destined to come on stream within the next few years, has cemented the GCC’s position as a center of gravity for the petrochemicals industry.
Global chemical production advanced on sound footing in 2011, growing by 4.8% largest integrated chemical facilities, and the largest ever built in a single phase. Sadara will include 26 manufacturing units, and will produce a wide range of performance products including Polyurethanes (isocyanates, polyether polyols) and many other products. First production units are expected to come on stream in the second half of 2015, with all units expected to be up and running in 2016. Among major milestones achieved in October 2011 was the start-up of several Saudi Kayan plants. This initiative was the first to produce polycarbonate in the region. The company began commercial production at its main plants, including the olefins plant. It now produces 1.478 million TPA1 of ethylene 1

and 630,000 TPA of propylene, as well as an aromatics plant with a capacity of 109,000 TPA of benzene. In addition to this output, the company started the commercial production of polypropylene with a capacity of 350,000 TPA, polyethylene with a capacity of 400,000 TPA, and polycarbonate with a capacity of 260,000 TPA. The giant new complex at Jubail, when fully operational in 2014, will have a combined capacity of more than 5.5 million metric TPA of petrochemical products.
its partners Arabian Chevron Phillips Petrochemical Company announced in August the establishment of the Petrochemical Conversion Company, which is expected to produce Nylon 6.6 and many other downstream products for local and regional markets when completed in 2013. SIIG also completed the construction of its Saudi Polymers Company, which is projected to start commercial production of polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene and hexene plants in the first half 2012.
In August 2011, TASNEE’s subsidiary Saudi Acrylic Acid Company (SAAC) and German’s Evonik Industries established a joint venture called Saudi Acrylic Polymers Company (SAPCo) for the production of 80,000 TPA of superabsorbent polymers slated to start production by the end of 2013.
Added to this flourishing activity, Saudi International Petrochemical Company (Sipchem) started construction on its Phase III plant projects. These plants will produce ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and low density polyethylene (LDPE), cross-linked polyethylene, with a combined production capacity of 325,000 TPA. Total project cost is estimated at approximately $950 million, and slated for start-up during the second quarter 2013. Sipchem boosted its marketing capabilities with the acquisition of Aectra, the Swiss petrochemical trading and marketing company in December 2011. Aectra SA, has an established network of agents and customers throughout Europe, allowing Sipchem to market its products easily. The booming petrochemical and chemical sector in Saudi Arabia has also attracted investment from neighboring countries. In early June 2011, Kuwaiti firm Qurain Petrochemical Industries Company, revealed a plan to establish a billion dollar project for the production of 800,000 TPA of PET and one million TPA of PTA in the Jubail Industrial city.
Sahara Petrochemicals and Chemanol also signed a memorandum of understanding on May 7, 2011 with Chemanol to enter as a partner in the Neopentyl glycol (NPG) project, where Chemanol will provide formaldehyde, the main feedstock for this product. The 50,000 TPA NPG project is slated for completion in the second quarter of 2014. The NPG project local partners also signed a heads of agreement with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, the technology licensor, and Sojitz Corporation. Sahara will hold 48% of the projects capital with 15% holding by Chemanol whereas the remaining 37% will be owned by the two Japanese corporations (Mitsubishi Gas Chemicals & Sojitz Corporation). Sahara also signed a joint venture agreement with Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden) on May 8, 2011 to establish a caustic soda and ethylene dichloride (EDC) plant slated for completion by the fourth quarter of 2012. The 50/50 project will produce 250,000 TPA of concentrated caustic soda and 300,000 TPA of EDC using UHDE’s technology. Furthermore, Saudi Industrial Investment Group (SIIG) and
Another key milestone in April 2011 was the awarding of the EPC contract to Samsung Engineering by SABIC’s subsidiary, Saudi Organometallic Chemicals Company (SOCC) for its Aluminum Alkyls manufacturing facility in Jubail. The SOCC facility will initially manufacture 6,000 TPA of Tri Ethyl Aluminum, the co-catalyst used in polyolefin production. In April 2011, SABIC signed agreements with Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation to form GPCA Annual Report 2011 | 15

polyol, a product used in the production of polyurethane. The project is slated to start commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2013.
SABIC also announced in May the formation of a 50/50 joint venture company with Mitsubishi Rayon Company (MRC), to build and operate two plants – one for Methyl Methacrylate (MMA), and the other for Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in Jubail.
In January 2011, Saudi Kayan, Saudi Acrylic Company, and Dow-Aramco, announced the development of a 330,000 TPA butanol plant in Jubail, which is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2014. The project’s output will be divided equally between the three partners. TASNEE will be the operating company of the project.
In April 2011, TASNEE and Saudi Advanced Industries Company (SAIC) signed a joint venture agreement to establish a project for the production of 120,000 TPA of polyether
Qatar In December 2011, Qatar Petroleum signed a heads of

agreement with Shell to develop a world-class petrochemicals plant at an estimated cost of $6.5 billion. The scope under consideration includes a world-scale steam cracker, a monoethylene glycol plant of up to 1.5 million TPA using Shell’s proprietary OMEGA technology; and 300,000 TPA of linear alpha olefins using Shell’s proprietary SHOP technology. Qatar Petroleum will have an 80% equity interest in the project and Shell 20%. On the fertilizer side, 2011 was a historic milestone for Qatar, as Qatar Fertilizer Company (QAFCO) inaugurated its fifth expansion in December 2011, making the company the world’s largest single-site producers of ammonia, having already taken the urea production crown with QAFCO 4 in 2004. QAFCO 5 increases the total production capacity of the company to 3.6 million TPAr of ammonia, and 4.2 million TPA of urea.
total capacity to 4.5 million tons and create the largest integrated polyolefins complex in a single site in the world. Kuwait In Kuwait, Petrochemical Industries Company (PIC) completed the feasibility study of Olefin III project, in late 2011. The project will produce over 2.4 Million TPA of ethylene, PE, MEG. Kuwait Paraxylene Production Company (KPPC) announced it has exported its first ever shipment of heavy aromatics in February 2011. The company has a designed capacity of 80,000 metric TPA of heavy aromatics. Oman In Oman, Octal Petrochemicals, which manufactures highperformance PET resin and sheet, is expanding its production capacity and set to be the world’s largest PET producer.
United Arab Emirates Borouge, the joint venture between Abu Dhabi’s National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Borealis of Austria, awarded several contracts throughout the year related to the third expansion of its petrochemical complex, the Borouge 3 project, located in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi.
Octal’s fourth and fifth manufacturing facilities are currently under construction, scheduled for completion in 2012. The resultant 527,000 TPA of PET bottle grade resin production capacity will increase OCTAL’s current production capacity to reach 927,000 TPA, making it the largest such producer in the world on one site.
In January 2011, the company awarded a $111 million contract to Alpine Bau Deutschland AG to construct the non-process buildings of the Borouge 3 expansion project. It also awarded a $169 million contract to South Korea’s Hyundai to build a cross-linkable polyethylene (XLPE) unit as part of its Borouge 3 Project. With an annual capacity of 80,000 tons, the unit is an added-value complement to the low density polyethylene (LDPE) unit, enabling Borouge to manufactures solutions for low to high voltage energy cables.
In early June, three major downstream players in Oman united under one single entity, Oman Oil Refineries & Petroleum Industries (Orpic). Orpic is the culmination of a successful 12-month integration program for Oman Refineries and Petrochemicals Company LLC (ORPC), Aromatics Oman LLC (AOL) and Oman Polypropylene LLC (OPP).
When fully operational in mid-2014, Borouge 3 will more than double the Joint Venture’s existing thereby increase Borouge
The production capacity of the group reaches 222,000 barrels a day of naphtha, 818,000 metric TPA of paraxylene, and 350,000 metric TPA of polypropylene. Orpic is implementing the Sohar Refinery Expansion Project GPCA Annual Report 2011 | 17

(SREP) with an estimated cost of USD 1.5 billion at the Industrial Port of Sohar. Orpic appointed in early 2011 CB&I Lummus B.V to provide Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for the refinery expansion project, this is estimated to result in additional 130,000 TPA of polypropylene to Orpic’s production capacity. Bahrain In Bahrain, Neste Oil, The Bahrain Petroleum Company (BABCO), and NOGA holding have successfully started commercial production at a new base oil plant in Bahrain. The joint venture plant produces premium quality Very High
Viscosity Index (VHVI) Group III base oils for use in blending top-tier lubricants and has a production capacity of 400,000 metric TPA. GPIC started an expansion project, adding a single train 2,200 MTPD2 Ammonia plant, a single train 3,800 MTPD granular Urea plant, a 4,000 MTPD Urea granulation unit, together with utilities and associated offsite facilities, that will nearly triple the company’s existing capacity. The project is at the stage of obtaining final approval from the relevant authorities. 2 MTPD: Metric Tons Per Day
The Gulf Industry: A Year in Review
Heading East The phenomenal growth of the region’s downstream sector, and the ambitious projects approved which will reach completion over the next few years, have all been made possible by surging demand in emerging markets, most importantly in Asia. In an encouraging development for the sector, 2011 saw regional companies look to invest abroad in order to serve these companies in situ. In May 2011, SABIC signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation Limited (Sinopec) to collaborate on a 260,000 TPA polycarbonate production in China. Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) also signed an agreement with Sinopec in April 2011 to establish a $9 billion integrated refining and petrochemical project in the southern coastal city of Zhanjiang, China. Work on the project has already started, with expected start up by the end of 2014.
International Trade The end of 2011 saw a hugely positive development with India’s decision to lift anti-dumping duties (ADD) imposed on polypropylene originating from Saudi Arabia. This decision was welcomed by the GPCA as imposing such protective measures is believed to be unjustified. This decision is a testimony to GPCA’s position that its members are neither dumping products nor causing injury to the local petrochemical producers at their export markets.

GPCA: The Voice of the Gulf Industry
GPCA continues to play an active role in advocating issues of common interest to the Gulf petrochemical and chemical industry. GPCA’s advocacy efforts in 2011 can be broadly classified into two categories: 1. International Trade – relevant Activities:
GPCA is widely recognized as the collective voice of the Arabian Gulf petrochemicals and chemicals industries on regional and international issues of common interest.
This includes “Awareness Campaigns” for executives from member companies covering subjects relevant to: • Competition & Anti-trust Issues • Impact of Trade Remedies on Petrochemical Business • Corporate Governance & Competition law GPCA’s activities in this area also included developing a ‘Position Paper’ on the WTO Doha Round which was endorsed by the Gulf Cooperation Council Secretariat (GCC) after extensive deliberations. 2. Industry Image-relevant Activities Several achievements have been made in 2011, including the successful implementation of initiatives such as Responsible Care, hosting of the 22nd Annual Global Meeting on Plastics & Sustainability and launching a plastic-image campaign an integral part of it is the ‘Plastic Ambassador Program’ to name a few. GPCA remains steadfast in its commitment to support the growth and sustainable development of the petrochemical and chemical industries in the Arabian Gulf in partnership with its members and stakeholders and be both a sounding board and a meeting platform for developing and advocating industry position.
GPCA Annual Report 2011 | 23
Advocacy in Action
The GPCA Advocacy Committee continues to play an important role in promoting the common interests of the Gulf petrochemicals and chemicals industry by creating a collective business voice on public policy of common interest to GPCA members. From opinion papers and fact sheets to awareness workshops and outreach programs, it works to protect the common interest of the Gulf producers and, at the same time, work on relevant fields such as the environment and public health, and promoting healthy and safe chemical production and handling for the future through the endorsement and implantation of international best practices.
Some of the key highlights of the past year include a marked growth in the number of awareness workshops to 5 in 2011, covering various issues of importance to the Gulf Chemicals and Petrochemicals industry, including antitrust, dumping and anti-dumping laws and the impact of trade remedies on the petrochemical industry. The development of position papers was also high on the agenda in 2011. In 2011, Advocacy Committee Vice Chairman represented GPCA in the GCC WTO Committee Meetings in Riyadh and Geneva presenting the GPCA’s position on the WTO Doha Round.
GPCA: The Voice of the Gulf Industry
GPCA developed another original, comprehensive document on the optimal roadmap to advance the interests of the Gulf petrochemicals and chemicals industry in the Doha Round. The position paper provided background information on the WTO-related interests of the Gulf petrochemical and chemical industry and proposed positions on three major topics for the consideration of the GCC states in connection with ongoing Doha Round negotiations, i.e. rules on subsidies and antidumping; tariff and non-tariff barriers; and export duties. The paper received considerable attention from representatives of GCC governments who provided their comments, which were incorporated in the paper and discussed with GCC governments’ representatives. By seeking endorsement from stakeholders and the GCC secretariat, the Committee is truly formulating a regional position. On a different note, GPCA has
also been quite vocal about its thoughts on oxy-degradable additives in plastics and went on record at the 22nd Annual Global Meeting on Plastics and Sustainability with the view that the addition of oxy-degrading chemicals to plastics articles should be avoided until the global debate is concluded, as they encourage articles to be casually discarded instead of being reused or recycled and the effect on the environment may be detrimental rather than beneficial. Industry image initiatives have also become a priority. The planned GPCA Plastics Ambassadors program aims to educate children and students about the benefits of plastics and the need for reduce, re-use, recycle and recover.

The region’s Responsible Care efforts continue to earn praise within its cadres and in the outside world for the commitment, dedication and result oriented efforts shown in a very short span of time. able to channel these resources into achieving excellence in establishing global initiatives like RC in the GCC region. GPCA continued its efforts to develop RC Codes. The RC Committee established seven task forces in 2011, and these were entrusted with the task of developing the seven codes. Three of these task forces finalized the codes on Distribution, CAER and Product Stewardship in 2011. The finalization of these three codes led to a capacity-building workshop held on May 31-June 01, 2011. The two-day workshop was attended by 120 delegates across the region and was facilitated by experts from the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and supported by Vice Chairman of RCC, GPCA’s Responsible Care Director, and Task Force leads and members.
has praised GPCA’s incredible progress during its steering committee and Board meetings in 2011. GPCA’s performance as a whole and RC , in particular, emphasizes the fact that members possess high levels of technical know-how and expertise and this is reflected in the progress of these member companies in the areas of environment, health, safety and security. GPCA’s goal is to spread this knowledge of its members in a way that the communities in the GCC region can benefit in terms of high standard of living complemented by the safe management of chemicals. GPCA through its dynamic leadership has been
This workshop focused on the management practices within these codes with hands-on exercises on how to transform these practices into workable solutions. The feedback from these workshops was very encouraging. On the home front, the number of member companies committing to Responsible Care Initiative increased from 64% to almost 81% in 2011. GPCA members, who have signed the Declaration of Support and have completed the Self-Assessments, have already started using the Responsible Care logo. The Responsible Care Logo has been registered as GPCA’s Trademark in six GCC countries. GPCA

Plastics and Sustainability
Polymers, the building blocks of everyday plastic products, are key segment of the petrochemical industry in the Gulf Region. Current polymer production represents around 20% of the total regional petrochemical output. Much of this output is exported, but, encouragingly, consumption by regional manufacturers is growing by 9% annually. These numbers are good news as the Gulf countries try to diversify local industry and stimulate development of the downstream industries including the plastic conversion. But while plastics conversion occupies the minds of regional business leaders, the wider public is more concerned with the environmental performance of this ubiquitous material that has been getting a bad rap. Plastics actually contribute more to the environment than most people realize. Without plastics, we would waste much of our water, food and energy in the distribution systems. Plastics reduce the fuel consumption of cars and airplanes to such an extent that whatever resources were used in making the plastic parts are far outweighed by the resources saved during their active life. GPCA’s position is that Plastics needn’t be seen as the enemy. Rather it is people’s attitude towards plastics that poses the danger. The 22nd Annual Global Meeting on Plastics and Sustainability was held in Dubai in 2011 and looked at this burning issue from different angles. Threats and challenges for the plastics industry, in particular marine litter, were addressed along with bans on specific plastic items (such as bags) and their impact high on the agenda. The GPCA also shared their insight on the local situation. Strategies and opportunities within the global plastics industry were looked at, including the positive contribution of plastics to resource efficiency; energy savings and climate change.
GPCA: The Voice of the Gulf Industry
The 22nd Annual Global Meeting on Plastics and Sustainability In November 2011, plastics industry representatives from across the world met in Dubai to create a global action plan for solutions on marine litter. This plan describes actions to be taken and progress to be reported in 2012. A total of 92 projects have been identified, covering 32 countries, in addition to the global activities supported by all signatories. Recognizing that solutions to marine litter will require global cooperation, the plastics industry is inviting other interested stakeholders, to join in these actions and others to prevent marine litter. GPCA hosted the meeting and announced its commitment to the global action plan for solutions on marine litter alongside its counterpart international plastics associations. The “Declaration for Solutions on Marine Litter� has been adopted by 54 plastics industry organizations so far. It outlines a six-pronged strategy for industry action, and advocates close cooperation with a broad range of stakeholders to shape solutions for the marine environment. By way of example, initiatives where plastic industries already have been involved include: Keep America Beautiful in the US, Cool Seas in the UK, and the International Beach Clean-up in South Africa.

The Flagship Event: The Annual GPCA Forum
GPCA has firmly established its Annual Forum as the pivotal event in the global petrochemicals and chemicals meetings calendar. It remains a key date in the industry’s diary, providing attendees with a fantastic opportunity to access and network with industry leaders and decisionmakers, and gain the latest market intelligence. Delegate attendance has increased by 35% each year on average since the inaugural Forum in 2006, which saw 450 delegates in attendance, to near 1600 in 2011. However, the true success of the Forum is that its profile, content and outcome have grown stronger year after year, making it a must-attend event. Underscoring dynamic changes in the industry while listing the priorities for the future, the theme for the convention in 2011 was moving downstream, thereby creating added value and sustainable growth. This year’s program was conceptualized as a platform for industry leaders to showcase opportunities that exist to capture much of the added-value that is currently exported and to create the building blocks for major downstream conversion industries offering rewarding and sustainable employment opportunities for the local youth. HRH Prince Faisal Bin Turki Al-Saud, Advisor, Ministry of Petroleum & Mineral Resources, Saudi Arabia and the keynote speaker called it the defining challenge facing the industry and his keynote address on this premise was accorded tangible support. In his address he urged the region’s players to focus on adopting innovative approaches to support the development of globally competitive downstream industries and lend support to the governments to ensure all the enablers are in place including the development of the local talent.

Vice Chairman and CEO, addressed in his opening GPCA’s growth and supporting role in the region’s growing industry. He also stressed on the need for innovation in the regional industry in order to achieve sustainable growth. Just as the petrochemical industry has provided the technology that has contributed tremendously to good health, good life styles and global mobility, it must now provide business solutions for a sustainable planet, according to Al-Mady. Gulf petrochemical suppliers becoming a part of the ‘green race’ and implementation of energy efficient processes were some of his pertinent suggestions. Dr. Abdulwahab Al-Sadoun, GPCA Secretary General, brought to the fore the issue of uneven unemployment in that there were 7 million job opportunities created in the region over the past decade but only 2 million of those were filled by Nationals. He said that this is primarily associated with the lack of skills within the national youth which require concerted efforts to enhance their skills noting several initiatives in this direction taken by the Regional Industry leaders setting up vocational
institutes in the Gulf region to address this challenge. Other key speakers at the forum included Hamad Rashid Al Mohannadi, Deputy Chairman, Qatar Petroleum, Stephen Pryor, President, ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Jim Gallogly, CEO, Lyondellbasell, Peter L Cella, President & CEO, Chevron Phillips, Tom Crotty, Director, Group, INEOS, Luther C. Kissam IV, President, ALBEMARLE and Andrew Monro, Global Advisory Lead for Petrochemicals, KPMG, Hassan Ahmed, Partner, Head of Research, Alembic Global Advisor, Brad Bourland, Chief Economist and Managing Director, Jadwa Investment. To shed more light on trends and development of strategic importance to the industry, two seminars were held on the sidelines of the forum in 2011 – one a market seminar conducted by CMAI and another on ’Chemical industry feedstocks, the changing face of chemical building blocks’” conducted by CRA International.

GPCA: Sharing the Wealth of Knowledge 2011 was a landmark year in fulfilling the GPCA’s objective for knowledge sharing among members through organizing multiple learning platforms in the form of dedicated workshops to discuss opportunities for growth, development, and prosperity of their companies and the petrochemicals and chemicals industries as a whole. By tying up with global industry experts for these high-level workshops, the GPCA encouraged further knowledge and insight-sharing on a variety of pertinent topics. The GPCA Fertilizer Committee organized two workshops in 2011. The first was on ‘Sustainable Development’ which was held in Jubail in April, 2011. The workshop was attended by over 50 delegates and looked at different aspects of sustainability in the fertilizer industry. Thirteen speakers representing 8 companies spoke at this focused event. The second workshop was organized in October 2011 on ‘Product Stewardship’ which was held in Kuwait and attracted 28 attendees. The workshop designed to define the concept of product stewardship through the Life Cycle of Fertilizers and how to implement it in the regional fertilizer companies. The workshop was facilitated by Ms. SoiliYlisuutari, Convener of the IFA Product Stewardship Task Force and Mr. Abdullah Al-Jassar, Management Representative for HSE & Quality, Petrochemical Industries Company (PIC). Similarly, GPCA’s Advocacy Committee organized two workshops. The first was a workshop on ‘International Trade’ held in Dubai. Attended by more than 30 participants, this dedicated workshop allowed participants to understand the key concepts of antitrust and trade laws which can be of concern to their comapnies and how they are enforced internationally. The workshop also helped particpants to understand how to protect their companies from being subjected to antitrust and trade cases that could result in heavy fines, duties and other trade barriers. The second workshop was an interactive ‘Competition/ Antitrust Workshop’ held in November 2012 in Dubai, and facilitated by experts from Clifford Chance law firm. The purpose of this interactive workshop was to provide a practical insight into how competition/antitrust rules in the EU and
elsewhere impact companies in the region. In addition to providing an explanation of the key rules, the workshop looked at practical examples of common market practices and the do’s and don’ts that one needs to be aware of. The workshop also addressed the implications of the competition/antitrust rules for corporate governance structures, including joint ventures. On the Industry’s leadership level, GPCA organized two events. The first was a workshop held in October in Dubai for the CEOs of the Full Member companies focusing on the topic of Global Petrochemical Feedstock Developments Implications for GCC Players. The workshop was conducted by Booz & Co., and it offered up-to-date facts and figures and highlighted current opportunities, providing insight on how to tackle competition and other emergent challenges. The second leadership event was the ‘Chemical Leadership Dialogue’. The event held in Dubai in conjunction with the GPCA Annual Forum was attended by 22 CEOs from across the Gulf region and 13 CEOs were from major international corporations including Methanex, INEOS, Shell Chemicals, Polimeri Europa, Total, Albemarle, SIBUR, Boaderless, and SAP. This was an ideal platform for the region’s visionaries and highlevel executives to share their expert perspective on different industry relevant issues including market developments in China and India, innovation and the impact of the economic uncertainty in the EU region on the Global Chemical Industry. High on the agenda was what is commonly referred to as the China situation. CEOs addressed the issue of the rapid rise in domestic capacity leading to self-sufficiency and the impact this would have on global players, China being a key market for most. Economic challenges were also discussed as was the impact of government policy as the interest in China increases from the Middle East. The attention then turned to another market full of challenges and opportunities; India. Realizing its full potential and the possibility of joint ventures with Indian players was addressed. The global search for feedstocks then took the delegates to Europe and the USA where high energy prices and debt issues continue to have major implications. Positives such as the shale gas and ethane advantage were touched upon amongst other opportunities for Middle East producers. GPCA Annual Report 2011 | 45
2011 Published Reports
GPCA aspires to position itself as the think tank of the industry, be its knowledge hub and its meeting place constantly generating interaction between members through issuing expert reports and studies. In 2011, the GPCA has been active in publishing a number of reports in co-operation with respected partners and global consultancy firms covering a wide range of relevant subjects and bringing focus to problems that face the industry and actively seeking legitimate solutions.
‘Breaking New Ground in the Downstream Petrochemical Sector’ This co-branded report was prepared by GPCA and A.T. Kearney There is no gain saying the fact that Petrochemical companies in the GCC region are exceptionally well placed to integrate themselves into the high value added downstream chain. They have the wherewithal, the necessary technical infrastructure and the liquidity to hasten the progress. Already having crested two historically acknowledged development waves within the energy sector (the first being its role as the vanguard of the oil and gas production and the second spearheading the expansion of the bulk petrochemical industry) the region is eminently placed to surf the third wave. This is predicated on developing long term wealth by enhancing current value chains through a four step process identified by A.T. Kearney in collaboration with the GPCA. Those who get on board are certain to have an edge and achieve long term profitable growth. Horn of Africa… Piracy and the Petrochemical Industry This co-branded report was prepared by GPCA and A.T. Kearney The primary concern is the piracy presently rife in the Horn of Africa and in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, these being critical shipping lanes between Europe and the Far East, accounting for 11% of global oil transportation. A UN report indicates the pirate’s centre in Puntland, a semi-autonomous state on the coast of Somalia and it is a problem that has to be resolved. It puts in jeopardy 17 million barrels of oil per day in 30,000 vessels every year, leaving them exposed to these criminal gangs. Over the past six years their temerity and their scope of activity have increase now moving to the Indian Ocean and the mouth of the Arabian Gulf. They are becoming bolder and more organised and most alarmingly, better armed. This situation poses a direct threat to sustaining profitable returns and hits directly at a still fragile recovering economy. The industry has to be protected and governments have to ensure it is not left unchecked.
GPCA – Sharing the Wealth of Knowledge
Innovation in Gulf Petrochemical and Chemical Companies This co-branded report was prepared by GPCA and Stratley. The report is built around a survey conducted by GPCA in 2011 among leading Gulf petrochemical / chemical companies 20 out of 30 full members companies responded with mainly direct feedback from the CEOs.
The GCC in 2020: Downstream expansion of the Middle East Chemical Industry This co-branded report was prepared by GPCA and KPMG. According to the joint paper prepared in conjunction with KPMG, the GCC will remain a global leader in commodity petrochemicals, and the overall share of the region in the world petrochemical industry is projected to grow to 20% by 2015.
The study revealed that concurrently, the Petrochemical industry’s big players having accepted that innovation is the key to opening the future must now implement steps to encourage their employees’ full potential to be realised and a competitive environment created. It is no surprise, therefore, that innovation is said to top the agenda of the Gulf petrochemical and chemical companies and there is a clear need to put into motion several innovation oriented strategies.
At the same time, the region will continue to expand downstream, with clusters playing an increasingly important role in the manufacturing of specialty chemicals and downstream conversion parks consuming, and adding value to, locally-produced petrochemicals. The success of this expansion is dependent on many factors, one of the most important being the role of GCC governments in providing a policy framework that will continue to foster growth. They will need to actively encourage the required behaviour from GCC chemical producers to continue the push downstream and support the development of infrastructure and a pool of skilled labour that will enable those chemical producers to both develop high value products and subsequently get those products to market. This will ultimately provide jobs and economic diversification with opportunities across multiple disciplines, including chemical engineering, finance, R&D, customer service and supply chain management.
Global Petrochemical Feedstock Developments – Implication for GCC Players This co-branded report was prepared by GPCA and Booz & Company With feedstock supplies undergoing major transformations and shale gas presenting new options for the US and China looking keenly at plans to converts coal to olefins, this aspect of the industry is at a crossroads. While it is not yet easy to quantify exactly what the fallout will be there is a concern that collectively all these elements could present a material threat to the GCC’s bulk petrochemical set-up, according to the Global Petrochemical Feedstock Developments report issued in conjunction with booz&co.. The report shared a number of strategic options both upstream and downstream in the value chain for regional players but made it clear that it’s cru¬cial that companies identify the best match between their current strengths and the future capability requirements of each strategic option.
By 2020, the joint report expect greater production flexibility (with a greater dependency on liquid feedstock), an increased diversity of downstream products, a growing focus on specialty markets in Asia and the developed economies, expanded clusters and the continued development of joint ventures with foreign investors. High capacity infrastructure combined with the region’s natural resources, financial strength and developing human resources will secure the region’s long-term, sustainable growth.

GPCA Annual Report 2011 | 49
Looking Forward
GPCA engaged A.T. Kearney to crystallize a strategy for the next phase of growth for GPCA. The engagement entailed interviewing leaders from the industry and stakeholders as well as benchmark GPCA with its international peers. As the GPCA evolves, one of the key conclusions was to increase focus on enhancing existing practices. Advocacy, further development of the GPCA’s networking role and content development were the 3 pillars singled out by the experts. Since across the board expansion is the core of the GPCA planning blueprint, the aim now is to deliver more value to our members so we can be the consummate forum for ideas, for discussions and for fine tuning our priorities. These include creating and maintaining a focus on content generation, building the region’s first petrochemicals database and using our influence and goodwill to send out a strong message regarding sustainability from our region to the rest of the world. We have built our global reputation on networking events over the past five years and it is essential that we leverage this position to develop advocacy. Championing the advocacy cause with reference to intensifying campaigns and bringing up and addressing pertinent issues such as plastics, trade issues and sustainable development has to be paramount. GPCA recognize that sustainability practices not only
positively impact the environment and an organization’s public perception; but also they can create quantifiable competitive advantages. Reengineering the sustainability agenda, business processes and the underlying systems is a major opportunity for companies today and that GPCA is making sure that its member are armed with the right knowledge and tools to do the needful. Recognition of talent, enterprise and effort are also vital to the industry and the Plastics Innovation awards, Supply Chain Excellence Awards as well as Responsible Care Awards are all essential and will continue to be given pride of place in GPCA’s scheme of things. Issues that are of a global interest remain high on our agenda and one solemn area that has not gone away and must be brought and kept in the forefront is that of high seas piracy and its ramifications on the industry. The GPCA will pursue all avenues to monitor this phenomenon and examine and follow developments with each such incident. Our workshops and co-branded reports are designed to educate and update and we will continue to ensure that this is the case. It goes without saying, that instrumental in our manifesto is the ongoing attempt to be a regional petrochemical entity that speaks with one voice and to have that voice reverberate across the world.
