KARACHI: Cement Limited has been honoured for its efforts in contributing positively to sustainable development, when it bagged four awards for each of its plant at the prestigious award ceremony held in Karachi. Organised by the National Forum for Environment & Health (NFEH), the Environment Excellence Awards are an annual affair and are given to celebrate and promote organisations, which make an outstanding contribution to help Pakistan achieve economic and social development without posing hazardous to the environment and natural resources. Bestway is immensely gratified that this is a testament to their environmentally-friendly policies and approach to business. With all four of its plants already utilising waste heat recover power, they are ahead of their competition in the industry – being the largest and the only cement manufacturer in Pakistan that has all of its plants deploying waste heat recovery power. Bestway believes that it is possible to create a symbiotic relationship between multiple industries, so waste from one company can be used as fuels or raw materials for another, thus preserving natural resources. Their latest installation of waste heat recovery power plants at Kallar Kahar after Chakwal, Hattar and Farooqia, will not only reduce Bestway’s reliance on national grid, but also help in alleviating the country’s power crisis to a certain extent and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by thousands of metric tonnes of carbon dioxide.
