While doing ‘social good’ previously involved just brandishing abstract ideas to the society, corporations in Pakistan have now made a conscious effort to instigate a greater, more immediate change — with IMARAT Group of Companies leading the way.
As part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative, IMARAT recently launched the ‘TameerSeTaleem’ campaign, which encompasses both social welfare and environmental protection endeavours.
Recognising the need to establish a trajectory for reducing energy consumption and conserving natural resources, IMARAT proposed the solution of recycling construction waste for the purpose of providing infrastructural facilities to schools in underprivileged communities.
The company has already kickstarted the campaign by building chairs from the wood waste on their construction sites, and donating the furniture to a school in Mehrabadi, run by the Baithak School Network.
The inadequacy of learning space and associated facilities is a pervasive factor for many children in densely populated settings not receiving basic education. Tameer Se Taleem emphasises on the need to build, improve and facilitate such spaces for better learning outcomes — all while opening up unique avenues of construction waste management.
In its petition ‘Every School Going Child Deserves Basic Facilities’, IMARAT appeals to the Government of Pakistan to implement a National Construction Waste Management Policy. It aims to involve prominent actors all across the business spectrum who can provide the necessary resources towards furthering the cause of education.
The major key points of the petition are as follows:
The active pursuit of shared value is futile if every individual does not become a positive contributor to societal well-being. You can begin today by signing on this petition as:
