The history of how our identity badges became part of our DNA at Aramco.
How did a small laundry start our ID badge culture?
It all began in 1938, when clothes sent for washing kept getting mixed up.
So we started assigning numbers so that employees could label their laundry.
That number then became a symbol of identity and belonging.
And that’s how Aramco’s iconic ID badge was born.
What started in a laundry is now an essential part of Aramco life.
