DO SOMETHING GREEN TODAY

Green Energy and the Biomass Plant

Sustainable production is integral to our long-term strategy and ambition to grow as a responsible business. We have installed a state-of-the-art biomass boiler of 150 tons per hour catering to our operations in Kasur. This investment of approximately 65 million US Dollars – one of the largest biomass plants in the country, not only ensures our products are more sustainable but also delivers additional welfare benefits to the community, environment, agricultural sector, and economy.

Tree Plantation

We recognize that to tackle the climate change crisis, more and more trees need to be planted. As a Responsible Organization committed to SDG 13 and SDG 15, we play our role by planting trees as a regular part of our Sustainability Agenda throughout the year. Bulleh Shah Packaging (Pvt.) Limited alone, leading this campaign for the Packages Group has planted more than 30,000 trees inside the mill and in the community and we plan to continue our efforts toward a sustainable greener earth. We encourage plantation by donating thousands of plants every year to nearby communities and schools as well as spreading awareness on climate change and global warming as a stakeholder engagement initiative.

Solar Energy

Our solar energy initiatives reflect our efforts to seize optimum renewable energy sources opportunities and boast of a 6.14 MW solar installation in Lahore with further projects coming up in Kasur and Karachi. This is a huge step in endorsing our commitment to moving towards renewable energy sources. Almost 50% of our energy needs in Pakistan are met through renewable energy sources including Solar and Biomass!

Solvent Recovery Plant

The unique solvent recovery process aims to recover the solvent from ambient air which is evaporated during the printing process and would otherwise have been wasted in the environment causing environmental damage. We take pride in being the first company in Pakistan that has installed a Solvent Recovery Plant at our Flexible Packaging Unit, which aims to recover nearly 230 kg of solvent / Hour from the air, discharging nothing but only pure air.

Our Impact on Communities

Through our products, we have been serving communities all across the globe, positively impacting and enhancing their everyday lives. We understand that the need to serve our communities goes beyond just providing them products to help them live better lives.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Packages Group firmly believes that for an organisation to be successful and for it to create value for its shareholders, it must also create value for its society. Whether through the grants provided to various organizations that share a common mission or through inspiring volunteer efforts, we are passionate about helping people live better.

Packages Foundation

Packages Foundation was registered in 2015 as a society and Packages Group allocates certain funds to Packages Foundation each year to contribute to societal welfare by providing educational opportunities, employment, medical support, and promoting culture. Our commitment to creating a better tomorrow for all individuals living in Pakistan.

Medical Health Center - Kasur

In continuation of its mission to provide medical facilities to the underprivileged community of Kasur, Packages Foundation set up a subsidized medical Health Care Clinic in Kasur, near Bulleh Shah Paper Mill. The Clinic provides primary health care services including free of cost medicines to women and children at a nominal fee. On average 70 to 80 patients are provided medical aid on a daily basis since 2014.

Sehat Mobile Program

In line with our commitment to community welfare, Sehat Mobile Project was launched in 2018. This state-of-the-art vehicle was designed with the help of the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, and is anchored on the principles of universal health care for all. This mobile clinic helps provide uniform primary health care services, targeting people within and around the agricultural supply chain in rural Punjab, underprivileged children from the various waste yards around Lahore and BSP Kasur mill.

Syedanwala Higher Secondary School

Many children around the world do not have access to quality education due to poverty, lack of resources, and lack of schools. Syedanwala Higher Secondary School was made to bring hope of a better future to the children living in villages around Kasur. The school provides education to students coming from 19 different villages up to the intermediate level.

LSK Schools

Packages Group operates 6 ‘Life Skills for Kids’ (LSK) Schools in collaboration with an NGO that hosts more than 500 children from various waste yards around the city of Lahore. These schools not only provide free education but also engage kids in sports and development activities along with providing uniforms, books, nutritious food, hygiene lessons and safety training.
