Engro Fertilizers, a wholly owned subsidiary of leading Pakistani conglomerate Engro Corp, has been selected as a winner for the DuPont Safety and Sustainability Awards 2013 on the basis of the company’s efforts in achieving stakeholder engagement for sustainability.

1. Dating back to 1965 in its original incarnation as the Esso
Pakistan Fertilizer Company, Engro Corp has since diversified
into the food, energy, manufacturing and chemicals sectors,
while continuing to grow its core fertilizer business. Since
2010, Engro Fertilizers has operated as an independent
fertilizer manufacturing and marketing company, and runs
the world’s largest single train urea-ammonia plant at
Daharki – the most significant fertilizer expansion project
in the history of Pakistan. The company’s workforce of over
1,000 employees focuses exclusively on production and
distribution of urea for the domestic market, including
phosphate- based products imported from abroad.
In line with a history of social engagement, Engro
Fertilizers is committed to ensuring the communities
living around its manufacturing site are aware of relevant
operational hazards, and that effective mitigation
measures are in place. To achieve this objective, the
company has developed the Community Awareness and
Emergency Response (CAER) program, both to initiate
counter actions in case of any catastrophic failure at the
Daharki plant, and to improve local living standards by
fostering community-based sustainable development.
Focusing initially on three villages situated within a two kilometre radius of the major
manufacturing facility, the CAER program has been structured predominantly – following a
rigorous socioeconomic needs survey – around stakeholder engagement activities,
infrastructure improvements, the initiation of social projects, school ‘adoptions’ and safety
training and drills. Based on encouraging progress to date, the program is scheduled to
expand to another four villages while further consolidating the outreach activities already
undertaken in pilot communities guided by a three-phase engagement model.
