- 4. SAPPHIRE SAPPHIRE Last year Sapphire released biodegradable, seed-infused shopping bags in honor of Independence Day(2018). In an effort to help make Pakistan green, the clothing brand encouraged consumers to plant more trees by literally handing them the seeds! The bag itself could be torn up and planted in soil and came with instructions on the side. This initiative made waves on social media and – hopefully – encouraged people and brands alike to think of the environment. The shopping bag reads that this bag is embedded with seeds. The bag also provides instructions for how to plant trees. In step one, the bag will be torn into small pieces. The step two includes planting the pieces two inches deep in the soil. In step three, the seeds will be provided ample water regularly. The bag asks people to feel proud for making Pakistan beautiful in the fourth step.

LEVI'S LEVI'S Levi’s has taken on sustainable production by putting forth their global ‘Water Less’ campaign that allows farmers to grow their cotton using alternative methods that require less water in light of the water scarcity in Pakistan. Despite being an international brand, Levi’s has taken mindful steps to promote the growth of sustainable production, while working with some of the largest denim manufacturers in the country. They claim that after 5 years of the initiative, they saved almost 1 billion liters of water. They now have almost 21 different techniques to save water.

Their projects are designed to help reduce energy poverty and mitigate climate change. The EnMass Energy founders have been working on energy crisis in Pakistan since 2012. They started the process with an intensive review of the energy market in Pakistan, and the current solutions being offered. Like LNG! Coal! New Hydro! Large-Scale-Solar!. With these, maybe the power crisis subsides for a few days or a week, but the pain quickly returns when the resource constraints begin again.
- 12. EnMass Energy EnMass Energy Traditional power projects provide energy services to locals, but are often associated with several externalities such as local pollution, toxic air emissions, and dangerous greenhouse gas emissions. According to EnMass, their projects are different. They produce electricity using agricultural waste — a process that is carbon neutral, produces little to no harmful air emissions, and creates new economic opportunities for small communities. Using a process that is 100% sustainable, their projects result in both local and global benefits. In recent years, EnMass Energy has expanded outside of Pakistan to markets facing similar conditions. Along the way, the way they apply their biomass sourcing models, weather data, and logistics have generated a streamlined organization that now supplies and operates some of the most advanced biomass projects in the world.

Nestle's Contribution In eliminating the use of plastic Nestle's Contribution In eliminating the use of plastic As a contribution to its global commitment of tackling plastic waste, it has taken initiatives focusing on most preferable techniques of waste management, i.e. reduction and recycling of our plastic waste. it have eliminated usage of single use plastics and promoted waste segregation at source by implementation of centralized waste bins across sites. Up till now, 267 tons of plastic waste from Sheikhupura Factory has been converted into 6000 plastic pallets, which are being used in the factory. Adding to the recycling initiatives, 95,000 sq. feet roof of finished product warehouses is covered with corrugated plastic tuff sheets in Sheikhupura Factory.
