Red Sea Global (RSG) has announced it has accomplished several milestones in sustainable design and operations. Multiple assets under RSG’s umbrella have earned LEED certifications, showcasing the developer’s commitment to environmental responsibility, said a statement.
Among these achievements, Red Sea International Airport (RSI) stands out as the first airport in Saudi Arabia and the fifth globally to receive LEED Platinum certification. This recognition is said to underscore RSI’s dedication to sustainable practices and its role as a model for airport design.
Turtle Bay International School (TBIS) made history as well by becoming the first school in the world to achieve LEED Platinum certification under the LEED v4 Building Design and Construction (BD+C), Schools rating system. TBIS’s performance demonstrates its commitment to creating a sustainable learning environment, RSG said.
In addition to these accomplishments, RSG’s Central Distribution Center (CDC) has earned LEED Gold certification, solidifying its position as one of the most sustainable warehouse facilities in the region. This achievement is said to highlight RSG’s expertise in designing and implementing environmentally friendly warehouse solutions. Furthermore, AMAALA Triple Bay and the Staff Village masterplans have achieved LEED Platinum for Communities certification, securing RSG’s reputation for creating sustainable and inclusive communities. These masterplans exemplify RSG’s commitment to designing spaces that prioritise environmental sustainability and community well-being, it added.
“These certifications are more than technical milestones. They’re proof that sustainability is embedded in everything we do. From 100% renewable energy generation and advanced water reuse systems to low-carbon mobility solutions, we integrate sustainability and regeneration into every aspect of our operations. Each certified asset demonstrates our commitment to creating positive impact, environmentally, socially, and economically,” said Raed Albasseet, Group Chief Environment and Sustainability Officer at RSG.
RSI has also been awarded LEED Platinum certification by the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). This milestone establishes RSI as the first airport in Saudi Arabia and among only 5 airports globally to receive this distinction. The certification recognises RSI’s sustainability framework, which integrates 100% renewable energy operations, advanced energy efficiency systems, and the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for seaplane flights. It marks the culmination of several years of cross-functional collaboration, reflecting RSG’s comprehensive approach to developing infrastructure that delivers lasting environmental, social, and economic value.
TBIS has also been awarded LEED Platinum certification, achieving 92 points — the highest score ever recorded under the LEED v4 BD+C: Schools rating system. Globally, only 15 schools have achieved this level of certification. TBIS now stands as the first school in Saudi Arabia to do so, setting a new benchmark for sustainable education, architectural design, and regenerative learning environments, the statement noted.
One of the region’s most sustainable warehouse facilities, RSG’s CDC also achieved LEED Gold certification with 73 points, positioning it among the most sustainable warehouse facilities in the Middle East. From intelligent energy management and material optimisation to resource-efficient operations, this 55,000m2 facility is said to reflect RSG’s drive to redefine industrial design through environmental innovation and smart logistics.
LEED for Communities (Plan and Design) is a globally recognised framework for sustainable urban planning and large-scale development. It addresses not only environmental performance, but also equity, economic development, resilience, governance, and quality of life. RSG has said that AMAALA has become the 45th project globally to achieve the certification and joins an exclusive club of just 16 projects that have achieved Platinum, including The Red Sea Phase One. Marking AMAALA’s first LEED certification, it sets a solid foundation for positioning AMAALA as a global benchmark for responsible development.
The Red Sea destination, a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, now counts 9 luxury hotels that are open and welcoming guests. Last year Shura Island, the heart of The Red Sea, began opening the first of its 11 resorts. RSG recently announced the upcoming opening of AMAALA, its ultra-luxury, wellness destination.
Both destinations are committed to going beyond sustainability, aiming for a 30% net conservation benefit to local ecosystems by 2040 through enhancing biologically diverse habitats. The destinations have been carefully designed to accommodate up to 1.5m visitors annually to preserve the pristine environment. Both destinations are being powered by 100% renewable energy, eliminating up to 1m tCO2eq annually, the equivalent of removing 2m cars from the road for one year.
