    Corporate Social Responsibility

    Our CSR strategy focuses on education, healthcare, environment, water conservation and community involvement in line with its core values to build its image as a “leader in Environmental Conservation & Sustainable Business Development, which operates responsibly and supports the communities in which it operates”.

    EPCL is constantly in contact with NGOs like WWF, IUCN for its efforts in environmental projects like CO2 offset, mangroves plantation, coastal rehabilitation etc. EPCL has already taken WWF’s Green Office Program for Head office and for Plant Site as well. EPCL is also working with IUCN in their MFF program for protection of coastal habitats by improving industrial waste water quality (in this regard proposal has been submitted to IUCN). In order to improve awareness environment related literature was shared with EPCL and Contractor employees on Environment and Earth Day.

    EPCL’s vision of providing a safe, healthy and educated environment goes beyond its closed doors, it is deep seated into the will of making a difference and empowering communities that are largely ignored by the city, communities that go unheard and communities that lack basic human rights.

    Hence, we have launched several programs to benefit the local community:
    • Solar Lights illumination project at Ghaghar Phatak
    • Community park & Mosque
    • Water Filtration Plants in Ghaggar Pathak
    • Blood Donation campaigns
    • Winter Clothes Distribution
    • 2 TCF Schools for Ghaggar Pathak residents
    • 2 More TCF Schools in the building process
    • Sina Clinic

    Community & Social Development Programs

    The company has various diversified programs in place and is on its way to create visible social impact on communities within which it operates. It invests in programs that address the environmental and social challenges faced by its business, thus mitigating impact of its operations through taking these initiatives. It also focuses on the element of sustainable business development and that is what is most visible in its key social investments.

    responsible citizenship & csr activities

    With a well-crafted CSR strategy, EPCL has heavily focused its efforts towards uplifting the standard of living in Ghaggar Pathak, a community close to the Port Qasim Plant. In 2019, the company undertook several initiatives worth for the development of the underprivileged.

    Education

    Making an impact through education in collaboration with TCF

    EPCL built and funded a primary school unit on a land of approximately 1 acre in Haji Jangi Khan Goth in 2015. The school caters to a total of 350 students through the morning and afternoon shift. The vision of providing quality education on part of EPCL does not end here; currently, two new schools are being built at Hammer Goth and Ibrahim Goth at the cost of Rs. 25 million each, which will cater to another 320 students. The campuses are expected to be completed by the end of this year. EPCL also financed the operational costs of Rs. 8.73 million for the afternoon shifts of the TCF Austin Campus situated in Haji Jangi Khan Goth for three academic years (2018-2021). These schools have been successful in keeping several children off the streets, inculcating a sense of civic responsibility, and providing quality education.

    Additionally, we also started another shift at the TCF Austin Campus school with a capacity of more than 180 students.

    Healthcare

    Free healthcare in partnership with SINA

    In order to provide for healthcare facilities, EPCL, in partnership with SINA, constructed a hospital at the cost of Rs. 15.7 million in the heart of Ghagghar Phattak area. The clinic provides multiple services free of cost such as consultation, OPD, ultra-sound, vaccination, lab testing, and even free medication. In addition to these services, there is a Community Engagement Team in place which goes door to door to nearby villages to educate people of the availability of free healthcare at the SINA Clinic. Recently, EPCL organized a medical eye-camp where POB doctors examined 151 patients and followed up accordingly. The Sina hospital serves 125-150 patients daily, and all those who received assistance are grateful for the fully equipped healthcare unit.

    Water purification plant in partnership with The Water Foundation

    A major health hazard which EPCL addressed was the absence of clean drinking water for the Ghagghar Phattak community. Most residents relied on an irregular and contaminated public water supply. EPCL installed two water filtration plants at Ghagghar Phattak and Razzakabad in partnership with The Water Foundation, and is setting up three additional plants. The daily consumption of water is between 50,000-55,000 liters. Residents have switched to this alternative and experienced better health.

    Blood donation drives

    The Company conducted blood donation drives at the EPCL head office and plant in 2017 and 2018 in collaboration with Indus Hospital. Employees participated, contributing up to 100 blood donations for this noble cause.
