SSGC’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives won accolades at the 14th International CSR Summit 2022.
On behalf of the company, Salman A. Siddiqui, Head of Corporate Communications, received the award in the category of ‘Vocational Training’ from Farrukh Habib, Minister of State for Information. The Summit-cum-awards was organized by National Forum for Environment and Health (NFEH) in an Islamabad hotel.
Over the years SSGC has been pursuing its vibrant CSR program in the areas of education, health, environment, and community development and more particularly in undertaking projects of sustainable nature. The Company carries out CSR initiatives either on its own or in partnership with government and non-governmental organizations.
Of late, besides undertaking conventional CSR-related projects, the Company has worked in tandem with many not-for-profit organizations and academic institutions in setting up dozens of ‘Computer Laboratories’ in its franchise provinces of Sindh and Balochistan, focusing the schools serving the lesser privileged students absolutely free of any costs.
The governing body of NFEH and the panel of distinguished judges appreciated SSGC’s vision being implemented through its contributions in the field of CSR. More than 50 organizations with significant contributions to social development through different remarkable projects and activities were conferred with awards at this CSR Summit.
Minister of State for Information while addressing the Summit said that all award-winning organizations have played a significant role in the empowerment of society in the fields of education, health, environment, human rights, and socio-economic development by undertaking welfare projects for lesser privileged and under-served masses of Pakistan. Due to its persistent execution of the CSR program, SSGC had bagged CSR awards at 13 out of 14 Summits organized by NFEH in the yesteryears.
