KARACHI: In an exciting development, K-Electric (KE), one of Pakistan’s largest power companies, has launched “KHI Awards” an award programme that seeks to incentivize those organisations that have embraced and owned the city of Karachi in the name of hope, peace and development.
These awards commemorate the rich history of Karachi by paying tributes to organisations from all walks of life especially those social-entrepreneurs and innovative business ventures whose work benefits Karachi through social, infrastructural, and cultural contexts.
Whilst announcing these awards, Moonis Alvi, Chief Executive Officer, KE said; “Our connection with Karachi is over 107 years old and extends beyond power provision. As an integral part of this vital and resilient city, we are committed to serve it and uplift it. While KE has an extremely robust sustainability programme, aimed at economic empowerment via health, education, and community upgradation; through the KE KHI Awards we envision partnering with other entities who are equally committed to this city. By collaborating and synergizing our efforts, we will collectively be able to achieve greater progress.
As part of a company whose existence depends on this city thriving and as a resident of this city, I anticipate these Awards will inspire up-coming social enterprises to focus on resolving community issues and enable infrastructure development in Karachi, both of which are key components of NEPRA’s CSR vision on Power with Prosperity”
The KHI Awards platform was formulated in line with the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development guidelines and will award the winners in the form of electricity rebates for 12 months, enabling social investors to focus on uplifting Karachi and its residents.—PR
