Asian Institute of Management Philippines-Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility awarded the first ever award to Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited in the "Concern for Health" category for its Telemedicine intervention called "Project Hope".
The award was presented by the former President of the Philippines Corazon C Aquino to Wajid Hussain Junejo, Public Affairs Manager of Engro, at a glittering ceremony held in Manila, Philippines, attended by 528 delegates from 24 countries and 321 organisations. This is first such award ever received by any company in Pakistan.
"Winning the Asian CSR Award is of course a matter of great pride for us, but its real significance is that the Award is an independent appraisal of our CSR initiative and an endorsement of our 'Project Hope' which gives us confidence that it will serve the community as we hoped it would," said Asad Umar, President and CEO of Engro Chemical.
Dr Rashid Jooma, the renowned neurosurgeon who heads Project Hope stated: "It is indeed gratifying to be recognised through this award and we are greatly encouraged. Engro needs to be lauded for this quite unique corporate social responsibility project that has already proved to be nothing short of a lifesaver for lesser privileged rural communities who otherwise really had very little or no hope."
The Asian Forum 2006, a two-day conference that took place concurrently with the awards ceremony had an impressive list of 101 presenters and moderators from 18 countries in Asia, Europe and the US, to speak in eight plenary sessions and 28 Special Interest (breakout) Sessions. Earlier a videotaped welcome address by Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank was played.-PR
