Sustainability Report 10
This report covers the corporate social responsibility and sustainability initiatives of Engro Corporation Limited and its subsidiaries. The period covered by the report is Engro's financial year 2010, ending December 31, 2010. Engro's standards for reporting data in this report are based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, an international set of guidelines initiated with the support of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). An adherence to these global standards ensures that the company retains consistency in the depth and scope of reporting across time periods. It will also ensure that Engro lives up to its commitments it makes: by having to report data along the same parameters every year, our stakeholders will be able to monitor our progress on the promises we make to invest in their future. Ultimately, this report is a product of, and produced for, our engagement with our various stakeholders and partners in sustainability. The company frequently engaged in surveys and studies designed to ensure that we listen to what our stakeholders have to say about their needs, before we craft a social investment strategy that helps them realise their potential. In 2009, the company engaged Gallup to conduct a detailed survey where we solicited opinions from our stakeholders, based upon which the company formulated its social investment strategy for 2010. Engro Corporation's report for 2010 has been assured by the United Registrar of Systems, one of the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification companies. Engro Corporation is committed to transparency. This report is a reflection of our beliefs and principles, and provides the platform from where we will build our reporting for the future. This report is part of a dialogue between us and all who might be interested in our social responsibility initiatives. We welcome feedback, suggestions and queries, which can be directed to the following person: Naila Kassim Corporate Communications [email protected] +9221-35296049

chairman's message
At Engro, our foundations have been built on the pillars of integrity and ethics and an unwavering belief in the need to create an environment that promotes excellence, as a means of corporate, social and personal success. This commitment to excellence builds upon the vision of those who first set the foundations of Engro and is consolidated by the current leadership, who continuously strive to raise the standards of the frontiers in business. As one of Pakistan's leading conglomerates, Engro has enhanced its level of engagement with all stakeholders, ranging from our employees to our suppliers, from investors to shareholders and extending beyond our consumers into the communities in which we operate. At Engro, we have developed our own brand of corporate sustainability. Our approach has been proactive and driven by the desire to create a symbiotic relationship between our business practices, the stakeholders we directly impact, our country and the planet we live on. For Engro, profit is the reward for doing what's best for this country, as responsible employers and dutiful taxpayers.
Our commitment to excellence has withstood the tests of numerous challenges. I am particularly elated at our efforts in 2010, to help our nation overcome the devastation caused by floods. The company's response to this national tragedy was defined by compassion for and empathy with the plight of our fellow citizens. It is a privilege to be able to acknowledge the Engro employees, hundreds of whom selflessly devoted their time, energy and resources to help those most in need. I am also grateful to our partner organisations that made this herculean effort possible. Engro's commitment to corporate social responsibility is a value that permeates all levels of our business, inculcated by an enabling culture that has been conscientiously developed across the organisation. This report is a reflection of that culture and of our uncompromising commitment to transparency in all that we do.
We developed our brand of sustainability that links how we do business, the stakeholders we interact with and the planet we live on.

core values
Safety, Health & Environment We will manage and utilize resources and operations in such a way that the safety and health of our people, our neighbors, our customers and our visitors is ensured.

To this end, we define quality as understanding the customer's expectations, agreeing on performance and value, and providing products and services that meet expectations a hundred percent of the time.

We can best accomplish this by consistently meeting the expectations of our customers and providing them with value.

Candid & Open Communications We value communications that are courteous, candid and open and that enable each of us to do our jobs more effectively by providing information that contributes to the quality of our judgment and decision making.

sustainability strategy
Engro Corporation's sustainability strategy is centred on our triple bottom line approach with a focus that goes beyond Profit to encompass the People directly or indirectly connected to us as well as the Planet we live on. Our motivation for adopting the triple bottom line approach is simple: in modern times, no company can ignore the fact that its operations have an impact not just on the welfare of its shareholders, but also on the lives of the people in its host communities, as well as the environment of the planet. We believe that the interests of our broader stakeholder community, as well as the environment, are as important as the interests of our shareholders. In crafting our core sustainability strategy, Engro Corporation seeks to ensure a seamless integration between investments in our business, our stakeholders and the planet. When crafting business strategy, for instance, Engro Corporation sees itself first and foremost as a corporate citizen of Pakistan that can best serve the nation by taking advantage of the country's competitive strengths as well as addressing its weakness. By ensuring that our business model is geared towards Pakistan's economic needs, Engro creates opportunity for a far wider community than our direct suppliers and customers: we help fulfil the economic promise of the nation as a whole. Our fertilizer, foods, chemical and commodity trading business help improve the productivity of Pakistan's agricultural sector while our investments in energy, chemicals and industrial automation fulfil core economic needs of the country. Going forward, we plan to diversify even further and enter businesses where we feel the country has the greatest need or provides the greatest opportunity. As a corporate entity, however, we are mindful that our success relies very heavily on our ability to attract, recruit, and retain the highest quality of human capital. This is why, as part of our commitment to People, the first group of stakeholders we have identified are our own employees. Simply put, without them, Engro's brand name would not be what it is today. As Engro grows beyond its historical presence in fertilizers and into a much wider array of businesses that include food, chemicals, energy and industrial automation, there has never been a greater need for Engro to ensure that its human resources policies are designed to provide our employees the ability to have highly rewarding careers at the firm. The diversity of our businesses ensures that we are able to redeploy talent far more productively than ever before. The second set of stakeholders we have identified are the communities that host our businesses. We are mindful of the fact that our business

and our negligence may be equally damaging to them. We view it as our responsibility to cater to their needs and be mindful of their interests, and the company has committed itself to creating sustainable, long term partnerships with our host communities. We have stepped in to provide access to healthcare, education and even basic infrastructure to ensure that our stakeholders can live better, healthier and more productive lives. The safety of both our employees amd contractors is paramount during any operational process. Even as the group's businesses were reorganised under a holding company structure in 2010, we created the Engro Foundation, a non-profit entity designed to manage and sustain our partnership with our stakeholders, as well as the several government and non-government organisations with whom we collaborate in order to make investments in the needs of our host communities. Engro takes particular care to ensure that we engage our stakeholders in
the social investment projects that we undertake. Our community participation model is designed to ensure that our host communities feel that they have a stake in the investments we make on their behalf. To this end, Engro is proud to have undertaken partnerships with several leading non-profit organisations, as well as government agencies. We have worked alongside the Punjab and Sindh governments, the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund, the Sindh Rural Support Organisation, HANDS, and USAID among others. But being mindful of the interests of our stakeholders - in addition to our financial investors - is not enough. As the world's climate begins to change, oftentimes rapidly and dramatically, no company can afford any longer to ignore the impact it has on the environment. This is especially true of companies like Engro, which have significant industrial manufacturing facilities. Engro Corporation has committed itself to some of the most stringent of standards when it comes to
environmental safety. In addition to taking responsibility for our environmental footprint, we have found that, quite often, our commitment to the planet results in cost savings and improves our ability to track and measure risks to our businesses. We are also committed to investing in mitigating the effects of both manmade and natural disasters, the latter of which is made more likely by the incidence of global climate change.
To summarise, Engro is committed to taking a wider view of what constitutes success and how we choose to define it for ourselves. We are committed to delivering profits to our shareholders, but we will do so while ensuring that we are able to invest in the needs of our broader stakeholder community as well as the planet we live on.
Engro seeks to ensure a seamless integration between investments in our business, our stakeholders and the planet.

sustainability framework
The following framework outlines Engros approach towards sustainability.
The Corporate Board (1) has a top down view as the representative of share-holders' interest, and works with the Corporate CEO & President (2) in deciding the overall strategic vision and direction of the company. The Corporate Center (3) provides the Corporate Board and CEO & President with a shared set of functional strengths. The Corporate Centre enables a 'portfolio-oriented' management of independent businesses, as well as integrating the management of businesses, where most skills can be shared across similar business systems. This centralization of skills allows advantages, such as improved management and decision making, assessment of expansions, and investments as well as maintaining operating flexibility for companies. The Board is assisted by a number of Board Committees (4) in making decisions related to Executive Compensation & Remuneration, Investment and Oversight. A number of Functional Committees (10) act at the operational level in an advisory capacity to the Corporate CEO &
President, providing recommendations related to business and employee matters. Additional details of these committees can be found on page 39. The Engro Foundation (6), also detailed on page 39, serves as a single platform for community engagement activities and social investments of Engro subsidiaries, which pool their financial and managerial resources under the Foundation to create large scale social impact. Each Engro business is governed by an independent Subsidiary Board (7), led by a Subsidiary CEO (8) who is responsible for translating the direction set by the Board into results. The company has put a number of Monitoring & Reporting Mechanisms in place at every level of the organization, including Engro Foundation, to provide a robust process of planning and measuring results. These mechanisms provide a bottom-up and top-down approach to review, and measure, the achievement of objectives and to decide future action.
business investments subsidiaries bod (7) board committees (4) audit compensation
The operations of each function are governed by an Internal Process (9), which focus on the areas that are integral for business continuity and for delivery performance based growth. A number of Operational Committees (10) provide recommendations on business areas such as health & safety, management, business investment, budgetary matters, employee compensation and development. The senior management of the Company considers feedback to be a significant contributor for the review of objectives and for the development of future plans and strategies. The company has put in place an External Process (11) of gathering information through various external functions including the Foundation, Corporate Communications and Finance, which ensure a flow of information both in and out of the company

In addition, Eximp also manages the procurement, processing and export of rice to markets in the Middle East and the European Union. The business has built relationships of trust with its clients and is also in the process of launching its own brand of rice in partnership with Engro Foods Limited. Over the past five years, Engro Eximp has become the single largest importer of phosphates and potash fertilizers in Pakistan. Engro Vopak Terminal Limited is a joint venture with Royal Vopak of the Netherlands, Engro owns 50% of Engro Vopak Terminal Limited, a business engaged in the handling and storage of chemicals and liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG). In November 2010, the business completed 13 years of safe operations without a single employee losing a day's worth of work due to injury. The business launched Pakistan's first cryogenic import facility for ethylene, in line with the group's overall motto of pursuing and enabling excellence. Avanceon Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the group that engages in automation and control engineering services. The business operates a UAE-based subsidiary out of the Jebel Ali Free Zone which, in turn, has a 70% stake in a US-based subsidiary.
Engro Corporation Limited is a holding company, created following the conversion of Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited on January 1, 2010. Engro Corp is one of Pakistan's largest conglomerates with the company's business portfolio spanning across sectors including chemical fertilizers, PVC resin, a bulk liquid chemical terminal, industrial automation, foods, power generation and commodity trade. Engro Fertilizers Limited, a wholly owned Engro Corporation subsidiary, is one of the leading fertilizer manufacturing and marketing companies in the country. It is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of urea and NPK fertilizers. As an example of the synergies between Engro's business lines, Engro Eximp imports phosphate based fertilizers, which are distributed and marketed through Engro Fertilizers network as an extension of Engro's overall fertilizer portfolio.
The business offers a wide variety of fertilizer brands, which include some of the most trusted brand names by Pakistani farmers. These include Engro Zarowar, a high-phosphate fertilizer developed for alkaline soils.

With rising oil prices and depleting gas reserves, the need for cheaper energy resources has become imperative. Engro Powergen has been exploring the possibility of coal-based power that utilises the vast reserves in Thar in order to maximise the use of domestic resources and reduce the country's dependency on foreign sources of fuel. The business has successfully completed a detailed feasibility study (DFS) that assessed the technical, social and environmental viability of the Thar Coal Mining Project, a joint venture with the Sindh Government. Engro Foods achieved overall profitability in 2010, ahead of schedule, and continues to expand its cold-chain across the country. The key to success for a food business in Pakistan is to disintermediate the inefficiencies in the country's agrarian supply chain, a task for which Engro Foods has expended considerable time, effort and money, an investment that has now begun to pay dividends. Engro Foods is now moving to the next stage, by becoming the first Pakistani consumer goods business to move up the global value chain and acquire a foreign brand. With the
successful acquisition of Al Safa Halal, a Canada-based halal meat processing company, Engro Foods is poised to become a significant player in the halal food business. In keeping with the company's strategy of developing endogenous product capacity in the products it creates, Engro has successfully completed and began operations of its own rice processing facility in Muridke, located at the heart of Punjab's rice-growing region. The project, owned by Engro Foods Supply Chain and operated for Engro Eximp, was completed on time and cost 14% less than what was originally budgeted. With the new plant coming online, the company will have the ability to market its rice product to customers in Europe and the Middle East. The group's industrial automation business, Avanceon, continued to face tough competitive environment. The company has tried to overcome the challenge of slow growth in the economic sectors it serves by exploring the option of horizontal expansion into outsourcing. In order to continue financing its rapid expansion across several business lines, the company has been raising
capital in numbers that the ordinary banking sector of the country has, at times, been unable to keep pace with. Rather than accepting exogenous limitations on its growth potential, Engro has crafted its own innovative solution and tapped a hitherto unconventional source of capital: a retail bond - Engro Rupiya - which was launched in late 2010 and was able to raise Rs 4 billion from individual and institutional investors. The success of the bond offering is a testament to the trust that the public has in Engro's brand and the faith they have in the continued commitment of the company to the pursuit of excellence. That the company was able to complete the offering with minimal assistance of financial intermediaries is a testament to Engro's continued ability to surmount the unique challenges it faces in its macroeconomic environment.
Engro foods is now moving to the next stage by becoming the first Pakistani consumer goods business to acquire a foreign brand.

success of the SpeakOut campaign, which created awareness within the firm's employees of a policy meant to protect them and the firm. Of the cases reported, many were found to lack merit. Audit report results The core of Engro's governance structure revolves around the thorough and frequent audits of every department, where every financial transaction is scrutinised, and system compliance audiets are conducted. Each
department is regularly audited and issued audit reports. Based on the degree of compliance with the company's policies, the departments' reports are rated, with a total of four possible ratings: (in descending order of acceptability) Good, Satisfactory, Management Attention Required (MAR) and Unsatisfactory. As is evident from the data in the tables below, in 2010 Engro was successfully able to improve its governance to the
point where none of the company's business lines got an unacceptable rating on any of their audit reports, despite the fact that the company kept increasing the number of internal audits that it conducted. In addition, the company has also been able to significantly reduce the incidence of MAR reports, which suggests that more and more of our businesses are conducting themselves in compliance with the company's policies.

We also conduct an annual survey to ensure that our increments are in line with market increases to ensure company compensation is competitive with its peers. In addition, the company has several types of awards at every level of the company, to ensure that employees get recognition for extraordinary efforts or work that goes beyond the call of duty. This includes performance based awards across departments and divisions, as well as acknowledgment of best safety practices. In short, Engro seeks to ensure a fair process towards measuring our employees' progress and believes in recognising their efforts. Despite continuing attrition due to the macro economic environment of the country, the success of our strategy is reflected in a consistent decline in our overall attrition over the last few years (see Employee Retention table). Employer of Choice & encouraging workplace diversity A conscious effort was made to ensure a single brand image in recruitment, even as the various businesses retained their autonomy. As part of our effort to create the onecompany brand, Engro conducts recruitment activities at leading academic institutions in the country as a single company, a process that is due to be accelerated in 2011. In 2010, Engro achieved Employer of Choice status, with the graph
highlighting Engros rise to become the Most Admired Company. The company believes in leveraging the diversity of its operations to provide our employees with opportunities to broaden their horizons and serve on secondments at different areas within the company, whether it is a different department or a different subsidiary.
In terms of the company's culture, a particular emphasis has been placed on diversity. The company makes it a point to recruit people from different backgrounds, and has made it a point to increase the number of women in the company.
In 2010, the company introduced flexible hours, a day-care centre, and a spouse employment policy. In doing so, Engro Corporation puts into practise our belief that family is to be treasured and that women should never be forced to choose between work and family commitments. As part of our commitment to our female employees, in 2010, the company also introduced a non discrimination and anti-sexual harassment policy to ensure that the women at Engro feel safe at work. We also took step further towards empowering our female employees

Sustainability Report 10
in 2010 with the launch of Weave, a network of women working at Engro, which holds quarterly meetings to help coordinate the promotion of femalefriendly policies at the company. An initiative the company is particularly proud of is the implementation of an affirmative action program for disabled people. While no quota has been established for disabled persons, all subsidiaries are encouraged to employ disabled personnel. All subsidiaries are required to comply with the law by paying an amount equivalent to minimum wage of 1% of total employee population to designated government offices. Freedom of association The Company is one of the few that permits freedom of association and actively encourages our employees to participate in collective bargaining by forming unions. Our progressive attitude towards union activity stems from our understanding
of the fact that companies best serve their interests by working with unions rather than against them. A healthy relationship with unions can result in a balance of accountability between the management and employees' interests. Focused leadership development & succession risk mitigation 2010 proved to be a defining year in Engro's History with significant steps taken to understand and improve the focus on talent identification and succession planning. A new talent management system is in the process of being implemented to ensure a focus on leadership
development as well as improvement in the talent identification process. This was made possible through a cross functional and cross company team of human resource professionals, who used research on local and global best practices to identify and incorporate legacy systems and develop the talent management framework.

Sustainability Report 10
The foundation hired and put in place a dedicated team to focus on managing the company's social responsibility engagements. Some were recruited from within the group while others joined the organisation from outside the Company.
Engro put in place several policies for the foundation, including a five-year plan, human resource policies, and reporting formats, structure and responsibilities, in essence ensuring that the organisation itself becomes sustainable before it can manage our sustainability initiatives. In each of our five focus areas, the foundation was able to get projects off the ground. And while some of them were in response to the floods of 2010, others were part of the longterm strategy that had been initially laid out for the foundation.
Engro foundation has already begun to have an impact on the lives of our stakeholders.

basic services
Engro believes that by investing in the provision of services such as basic healthcare will help our stakeholders lead healthier lives.
Perhaps the single biggest impediment that most of our stakeholders face in leading productive lives is the lack of some of the most basic infrastructure. This is especially true in the small towns and rural areas that many of Engro's businesses operate in and serve. Engro believes that by investing in the provision of services such as basic healthcare, improvements in physical infrastructure, etc the foundation can help our communities lead healthier, more productive lives. Our focus on basic services is a reflection of our sustainability strategy that involves long-term engagements. We are not looking for quick solutions, so we take the time to start from the ground up, helping our stakeholders build what is necessary for them to lead healthy, productive lives. Within basic services, our two primary areas of focus are healthcare and physical infrastructure.

healthcare
Engro also funds specialised health care facilities that provide a variety of treatments, such kidney dialysis, malaria control to name a few.
As with many of the efforts of Engro Foundation, the genesis of our services in healthcare begin in Daharki, where Engro has been operating the Engro Clinic for decades. The company also supports the Sahara Clinic, which has been one of the leading healthcare providers of the region for many years. Among the unique attributes of the clinic is the Snakebite Treatment Facility, created in direct response to the needs of our neighbours. The clinic is the only one its kind in the area, providing life saving treatment for snake bite victims. The Foundation has also partnered with government bodies and NGOs to run clinics providing basic healthcare, including specialised health care facilities for kidney dialysis, malaria control, polio immunisation, eye care, and thalassemia treatments.

infrastructure
The foundation is keenly involved in building paved roads and other infrastructure in several villages close to our manufacturing facilities.
Engro has undertaken several investments in improving the quality of the physical infrastructure in our communities around our manufacturing sites. A particular area of focus has been clean water and sanitation services, which far too many Pakistanis lack. Only 40% of Pakistan's population has access to 'improved' water sources and 20% have access to some form of sanitation. Our investments in healthcare would be meaningless without the infrastructure that our stakeholders would need to ensure that they can stay healthy, hence the importance of our investments in sanitation and water supplies. In line with our strategy of ensuring that we invest in the needs of our own neighbours first, the foundation is also involved in building paved roads and other infrastructure in several villages close to our manufacturing facilities in Daharki, Sukkur and Qadirpur. Eleven of these projects were undertaken, in collaboration with our partners, the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund and the Sindh Rural Support Organisation.

No nation can hope to progress while half of its population remains economically idle. Recognising the contribution of women to society, Engro has created initiatives for the skill development of women as well.
In 2003, Engro helped establish the Sahara Arts & Crafts Centre, with the goal of training women in a variety of skills that would enable them to create products that they can sell, generating income and enhancing their ability to support their families.
By vocational training, we hope to help stakeholders, increase skill levels, command higher wages and raise the standard of living.

livelihoods
With our efforts in education and skill development, we are investing directly into the income-generating capacity of our stakeholders.
As a natural complement to our efforts in education and skill development, Engro Foundation is committed to making investments directly into the income-generating capacity of our communities. Khushaal Livestock Project During the floods, there were many news reports of villagers who risked their lives to rescue their livestock. These stories may have seemed perplexing to urban dwellers but make sense when considering the fact that cattle form a vital source of income for most rural households. Given the importance of livestock, Engro Foundation is collaborating with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and has started a program called the Khushaal Livestock Project and is designed to help restore the productivity of farm animals to pre-flood levels. The project is being run in technical collaboration with Engro Foods, who have the expertise and business knowledg given its direct relationships with dairy farmers across the country. This is yet in another example of how Engro leverages its commercial capabilities to enhance the efficacy and efficiency of its social investments. A total of Rs 77.4 million has been allocated for the project, which aims to help 15,000 households and help over 100,000 animals over a six month period ending in May 2011. The initiative will provide health and nutritional supplements such as mineral mixtures, multi-cut grass seeds (jowar), oat seeds, as well as fertilizers and vaccinations for foot and mouth disease (FMD). We hope that the success of this project will result in the signing of another project funded by USAID spanning over three years to build capacity in livestock and to develop a linkage of communities with dairy markets.

Engro Corporation, its employees and their families played an admirable role in responding to one of the biggest disasters in the world.
In the summer of 2010, the country experienced the worst floods in over 70 years, killing thousands of people and devastating millions of livelihoods. An estimated 20 million people were impacted by the flood. Engro Corporation, its employees and their families played an admirable role in responding to one of the biggest humanitarian disasters in the world. Our relief effort was focused on, but not limited to, the communities that host our manufacturing facilities. Engro Foundation took the lead in initiating the relief work in Ghotki, Sukkur, Dadu, Jacobabad, Thatta (Sindh), Muzaffargarh, DG Khan, Rajanpur, Layyah (Punjab area). Several of our employees spent days delivering food and essential supplies. Among the items our teams delivered were hand pumps, hygiene kits, tents, and latrines. We partnered with organisations including the Pakistan Army, the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF), the Sindh Rural Support Organisation (SSRO), the Farmers Development Organisation (FDO) and HANDS, Dist. govternment Ghotki, NRSP, NCHD. Several of Engro's subsidiary companies initiated their own efforts to help the victims of the natural disaster. Engro Foods collected Rs 7.5 million in donations for the relief effort. Engro Polymers provided medical assistance to those who needed it and provided sodium hypochlorite as a water purifier. Using the 100 tonnes of sodium hypochlorite that Engro Polymers donated, UNICEF was able to provide up to 350 million gallons of safe drinking water to flood victims in KhyberPakhtunkhwa. Engro Polymer also provided storage tanks with a total capacity of 3,000 gallons of water. The Pakistan Army helped in the distribution of this aid.

building partnerships
Engro leverages the best resources that are available, including creating strategic alliances with organisations that can help us achieve our social investment goals.
In order to build long-term partnerships with our stakeholders, Engro needs to be able to leverage the best resources that are available, including creating strategic alliances with organisations that can help us achieve our social investment goals. The foundation recently signed a Rs 350 million memorandum of understanding with the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund for community development activities in Daharki, Sukkur, Sahiwal and Muridke. We concluded another Rs 200 million agreement with the PPAF to collaborate on flood relief and rehabilitation activities. Engro has also signed a Rs 77.4 million agreement with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to enlist their assistance in the livestock rehabilitation program. The organisation has also been involved in several infrastructure development projects in collaboration with the Sindh Rural Support Organisation. Each of these organisations brings to the table a degree of expertise or other resources that the Engro Foundation is able to utilise towards efficiently realising its social investment objectives.

systems. Engro has installed 11 of these at client sites as well as our own manufacturing facilities in 2010. Engro Foods has installed wastewater treatment facilities at its sites in Sukkur and Sahiwal to ensure that any water that is discharged from the facility is safe and does not pollute the region's water table. Engro Vopak was successfully declared in 2010 to be a no-effluent site, meaning that all of the facility's wastewater was successfully treated to ensure that it does not damage the surrounding environment. The facility has also planted mangroves and trees to protect the shoreline against erosion. Energy consumption As an example of how efficiency translates into savings, Engro Vopak initiated 15 projects that were designed to reduce its energy consumption and reduce the business' carbon footprint. Engro Vopak also utilises ambient heat energy for its ethylene vaporisers which has resulted in the potential savings of $1.4 million in energy costs as well as 4.3 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. Our innovations in energy have not just helped save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions at Engro, but for our clients as well. Avanceon's iWater and iBoiler products help save our clients energy and have been responsible for reducing CO2 emissions by 13,000 tonnes a year.

product stewardship
We ensure our products minimise potential adverse impact on the environment even when they have left our facilities and are in the hands of our customers.
Engro Corporation is committed to ensuring not only that the firm reduces its own environmental footprint, but that of its customers as well. To this end, the company has expended considerable energy and research in producing innovative solutions that ensure that our products minimise any potential adverse impact on the environment even when they have left our facilities and are in the hands of our customers. Engro Fertilizers, for instance, has developed a new packaging for its products that uses less material while holding the same amount of fertiliser with the requisite tensile strength. The reduction in one inch off our bags has resulted in significant savings in the use of polypropylene, which in turn has reduced the environmental footprint of our company and our customers. Engro Foods is working with Tetra Pak to ensure that it is using recycled packaging by stripping one of the inner layers of the boxes for our dairy products. This helps ensure that our packaging material is more environmentally friendly and does less damage to forests and the eco-system of the country's northern areas.

stakeholder engagement
Engro Corporation is not only committed to making investments that support all of our stakeholders needs: we have also institutionalised a constant dialogue process with our stakeholders to constantly refine and improve our business, social and environmental investments. Investors In addition to holding the legally mandated annual general meeting for shareholders, Engro also conducts four quarterly analyst briefings to keep our investors and the wider capital markets community abreast with developments. This voluntary measure is symbolic of how Engro is willing to hold itself to higher standards. Media Engro also holds media events to reach out to the broader public and inform them of our business and social investment activities. By making more information about our company public, we hope to make ourselves more accountable to the broader community we are a part of. In 2010, we initiated a series of formal and informal interactions with the media, with five media events and a series of one-onone meetings between senior management and members of the media. Employees Engro realises that the firms success depends on the degree to which we can keep our people motivated to continue performing at their potential. In addition to the multiple policies that the firm has in place to ensure high motivation levels, the firm also conducts frequent surveys of employee morale, preferences and aspirations. In doing so, Engro keeps itself a step ahead of emerging trends in human resource management and is able to anticipate and meet our employees needs. In addition, we hold multiple forums throughout the year in which employees are encouraged to share their views with executives about a variety of issues within the company, a practice that allows Engro to address areas of concern relatively early. Engros commitment to high quality human capital is not restricted to our employees, however. We are also engaged in an effort to solicit feedback from students at various colleges and universities throughout the country, to gauge what the next generation of professionals seeks from their future employer. To this end, we conducted surveys in 2008 and 2009 in collaboration with Oasis, a research company, to measure Engros reputation as an employer among students and prospective employees. Host communities The creation of Engro Foundation has meant that the group now has a fulltime staff dedicated to managing our relationships with our host communities as we continue to enhance and improve our social investment strategy. Indeed, the creation of the foundation itself was the result of an extensive exercise conducted by Engro in 2009 in which our host communities and partner institutions were asked for feedback about how the company can improve its social investment approach. Our social mobilization methodology focuses on first getting feedback from the host communities to understand their priorities and to develop projects that can address their needs. Once projects are implemented, we ensures mechanisms are in place to monitor and sustain these social investments. As the foundation moves into its second year of operations, we will institutionalise the mechanism of seeking feedback from our host communities on a regular basis, particular from the direct beneficiaries of our social investment projects in an effort to continue refining our engagement strategy. Suppliers Engro is proud of its ability to merge its business interests with its social investment strategy, which we believe makes our engagement efforts more sustainable. To this end, Engro is keen to bring its resources to bear in helping Pakistans farmer communities, particularly our suppliers, improve their productivity. Yet even as we do so, we are mindful of the need to assess their needs, both through direct feedback as well as through studies of our own, before we can begin to design our business/social investment programmes.

In addition, Engro is actively engaged in a dialogue with farmers across the country to whom we sell our fertiliser products, particularly through our demo farm plots. We are in the process of extending a similar approach to the suppliers for our milk and rice products. Engro Eximp has ensured seed multiplication and provision of good quality seeds to farmers in order to enhance basmati rice yields and income in the process. The foods business has developed a milk collection and automated payment infrastructure which has improved payment cycles, guaranteed collections and improved margins directly for the dairy farmers. The fertilizer and foods business are also working their packaging suppliers to improve the quality of fertilizer bags and milk tetra pack as a means of ensuring product quality for end consumers. Customers The fertilizer business has been working on disseminating Good Agricultural Practices amongst all farmers who use their products to ensure safe and healthy produce for end consumers, and also improved yield and increased margins for the farmers. The business trains farmers through on-the-ground activities as well as literature, which has resulted in improvements in yield and profitability as well as preventing the degradation of soil. The business employs a team of agronomists who educate farmers
on the judicious use of these products. In 2010, Engro Fertilizers reached out to over 90,000 farmers, providing information on best practices and improving farm yield. Avanceon launched a Customer Delight initiative in 2010, as part of which it conducted a customer survey to gauge their satisfaction with the businesss products and services in Pakistan. Governments Engro has always played a proactive role in advising the Government of Pakistan in the framing of economic policy as well as reforms related to both industry and business in Pakistan. Engros executives have advised the government from issues as diverse as food and fertilizer security, gas supply optimization and alternate power generation.

Wetlands
The discharge of untreated wastewater is a major contributor to deteriorating health conditions and pollution of nearby water bodies. The problem is expected to increase due to rapid pace of urban growth, unless measures are taken to control and treat effluents. Constructed Wetlands (CWs) are a natural, low-cost, eco-technological biological wastewater treatment technology designed to mimic processes found in natural wetland ecosystems, which is now standing as the potential alternative or supplementary systems for the treatment of wastewater. Engro Polymer, in partnership with WWF Pakistan, agreed to sponsor construction of one CW located near Nawabshah town in the province of Sindh. A low cost version of CWs was designed by Sindhica, a local NGO which was vetted by technical team of UNHABITAT from Nepal. Sindhica leveraged its local contacts and convinced the community to replace the existing depression where entire waste water gets collected with a proper waste treatment facility. They also brought in resources to improve the drainage system for the sustainability of the project. First the water from the depression was drained and the field was cleared of weeds and wild vegetation. Based on the approved design, the construction of wetland took place. This facility now provides clean and environmental friendly treatment to household waste water of community of Nehal Lashari. The recycled water from CW is now added to agricultural supplies for the cultivation in nearby fields.
