The Professionals Network (TPN) honoured Indus Motor Company (IMC) with awards in multiple categories, for its exceptional contribution to the Global Goals, at the 12th International CSR Summit and Awards ceremony. The awards were presented at a ceremony by the Consul General of Malaysia in Karachi, Mr Herman Hardynata Ahmad, to IMC’s Asad Abdullah, Head of Corporate Communication & CSR. The award ceremony was attended by notables from the corporate sector, government organisations, NGOs, academia and media.

A total of 98 companies competed in 35 award categories, 53 of which won 74 awards. IMC won the highest number of awards, leading in categories for “Business Leader”, “Reporting & Transparency”, “Corporate Community Partnerships” and “Employee Volunteer Program”.

Expressing himself, Chief Executive IMC, Ali Asghar Jamali, said, “This is quite an honour, and we’re delighted. I want to take this opportunity to thank TPNs Mr Mehmood Tareen for not only providing the platform but also the encouragement and recognition that comes with it.”

He added, “The diversity of our CSR program, Concern Beyond Cars, is a testament to our commitment to the Global Goals. I would like to mention the company’s Employee Volunteering Program, which has garnered an overwhelming response from our people since its roll-out three years back. A recent example is Operation Flood Relief, which the company undertook in Sindh last summer, headed by our Head of CSR along with a 12-member team of volunteers.”

Earlier this month, IMC won first prize from the UN Global Compact Network Pakistan in the Multinational Companies category for its outstanding CSR initiatives and commitment towards responsible sustainability.
