Aramco Services Company, a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, has launched a comprehensive workforce empowerment initiative. The program emphasizes employee training, career development, and diversity and inclusion, including targeted efforts to support women's representation and candidates with disabilities. These efforts underscore the company’s commitment to fair employment practices and human rights in its global operations.

Aramco’s ethics page highlights its commitment to comprehensive employee training, safety measures, and fostering an inclusive, respectful culture across a diverse workforce. The emphasis on ethical practices, anti-corruption principles, and creating opportunities for local employment underscores a strong dedication to labor rights and human rights.

UN human rights and climate experts sent a letter on August 26, 2023 to Aramco CEO Amin Nasser challenging the company’s continued expansion of fossil fuel production. The letter cites potential risks to human rights and environmental sustainability, alleging that the company's actions may undermine the 2015 Paris Agreement and compromise the right to a healthy environment. The experts also highlighted the deep ties between the company’s funding—via Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund—and state-supported economic initiatives.

On August 25, 2023, UN human rights experts issued a warning against Saudi Aramco and its financiers, highlighting the company's role in driving severe climate-fuelled human rights violations. The warning followed a legal complaint by ClientEarth accusing Aramco of the largest climate-related breach of international human rights law, with significant concerns regarding its continued fossil fuel expansion and misleading sustainability claims.

A new Department of Justice legal opinion exempts lobbyists for U.S. subsidiaries of foreign state-owned companies from registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). This exemption has allowed entities linked to Saudi Aramco—such as Motiva Enterprises—to obscure detailed records of their lobbying activities. Given Aramco Services Company’s connection as a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, this legal loophole raises serious transparency and accountability concerns regarding political influence in the U.S.

The article details that Saudi Aramco spent $210,000 on lobbying in 2019, an expenditure aimed at influencing U.S. policy. As a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, Aramco Services Company is linked to this broader corporate political activity, which can be seen as an effort to leverage regulatory influence in favor of corporate interests.
