Abstract: The adoption of the 2030 Agenda aims to strengthen and harmonize global efforts towards conserving the environment in balance with economic and societal needs. This Agenda affirmed that, the private sector - the industrial sector is the largest part - is a key stakeholder in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) because this sector is the driver of the economy, and it has direct and indirect impacts on the environment. This study aims to assess the extent of contribution of Bahrain's large industrial sector and its role in achieving the SDGs. To achieve this goal, the latest findings of a wide range of current literature were investigated and analyzed in depth to identify the main issues that should be considered toward attaining the SDGs. Moreover, Bahrain's environmental legal tools were reviewed to evaluate their consistency with the SDGs, the study confirmed that recognition of the challenges highlighted in 2030 Agenda and developing a holistic implementation approach would lead to successful inclusions of SDGs within the current environmental legislation. Additionally, the corporative sustainability reports published by companies in Bahrain were analyzed using materiality matrices to identify and prioritize the most significant issues to be improved in future reporting and in the environmental performance. Out of 30 annual and sustainability reports, 15 were sustainability reports; 3 were focused on their environmental efforts in Bahrain. A content analysis method was used to analyze 11 reports for 3 companies published during 2016-2020. The results revealed that the companies which have used materiality analysis in their reporting have better capability in monitoring and measuring their environmental performance and thus implementing SDGs. The analysis of the reports also revealed the focus on sustainability- related aspects and the commitments of stakeholder's engagement. A structural interview and questionnaire were conducted to identify the status of the industrial sector in implementation the SDGs. The results showed that the industrial sector has several initiatives, sustainable future projects, and sustainable practices, which are the basis for sustainability governance, so there is a need to orient these efforts in the context of SDGs and integrate them into their business plans and strategies. Furthermore, the results indicated that the high priority ranked SDGs for the industrial sector were 12,13,9,7 and 8, and Bahrain faces major challenges in achieving SDGs 9,11,12, 13, 14, and 15. The study concluded with several recommendations for both industrial companies and the govemment to improve the implementation of SDGs.
