Environmental and Sustainability Policy Development for a PIF entity: KBD reviewed gaps and delivered tailored ESG frameworks to support resilient, responsible coastal development and long-term value creation.

Since 2018, KBD has filled key data gaps on threatened Red Sea megafauna using coordinated vessel, piloted-aircraft, and drone surveys—logging 5,800 km at sea, 26,000 km aerial, and 6,000+ sightings to support conservation and planning.

KBD mapped NEOM’s socio-economic landscape using port observations, statistically robust surveys, and in-depth interviews. We reviewed vessel registration systems and gathered data through direct observations, on-site measurements, and phone surveys with vessel owners and fishers.
