4. SAPPHIRE
SAPPHIRE
Last year Sapphire released biodegradable, seed-infused shopping
bags in honor of Independence Day(2018). In an effort to help make
Pakistan green, the clothing brand encouraged consumers to plant
more trees by literally handing them the seeds! The bag itself could be
torn up and planted in soil and came with instructions on the side. This
initiative made waves on social media and – hopefully – encouraged
people and brands alike to think of the environment.
The shopping bag reads that this bag is embedded with seeds. The bag
also provides instructions for how to plant trees.
In step one, the bag will be torn into small pieces. The step two
includes planting the pieces two inches deep in the soil.
In step three, the seeds will be provided ample water regularly. The
bag asks people to feel proud for making Pakistan beautiful in the
fourth step.

LEVI'S
Levi’s has taken on sustainable production by
putting forth their global ‘Water Less’ campaign
that allows farmers to grow their cotton using
alternative methods that require less water in
light of the water scarcity in Pakistan. Despite
being an international brand, Levi’s has taken
mindful steps to promote the growth of
sustainable production, while working with some
of the largest denim manufacturers in the country.
They claim that after 5 years of the initiative,
they saved almost 1 billion liters of water. They
now have almost 21 different techniques to save
water.

EnMass Energy
EnMass is a start-up micro-utility focused
on generating base load electricity using
agricultural waste products. Their projects
are designed to help reduce energy
poverty and mitigate climate change. The
EnMass Energy founders have been
working on energy crisis in Pakistan since
2012.
They started the process with an
intensive review of the energy market in
Pakistan, and the current solutions being
offered. Like LNG! Coal! New Hydro!
Large-Scale-Solar!. With these, maybe the
power crisis subsides for a few days or a
week, but the pain quickly returns when
the resource constraints begin again.

EnMass
Energy
Traditional power projects provide energy services
to locals, but are often associated with several
externalities such as local pollution, toxic air
emissions, and dangerous greenhouse gas
emissions. According to EnMass, their projects are
different. They produce electricity using agricultural
waste — a process that is carbon neutral, produces
little to no harmful air emissions, and creates new
economic opportunities for small communities.
Using a process that is 100% sustainable, their
projects result in both local and global benefits.
In recent years, EnMass Energy has expanded
outside of Pakistan to markets facing similar
conditions. Along the way, the way they apply their
biomass sourcing models, weather data, and
logistics have generated a streamlined organization
that now supplies and operates some of the most
advanced biomass projects in the world.

As a contribution to its global commitment of tackling plastic waste, it has taken
initiatives focusing on most preferable techniques of waste management, i.e. reduction
and recycling of our plastic waste. it have eliminated usage of single use plastics and
promoted waste segregation at source by implementation of centralized waste bins
across sites. Up till now, 267 tons of plastic waste from Sheikhupura Factory has been
converted into 6000 plastic pallets, which are being used in the factory. Adding to the
recycling initiatives, 95,000 sq. feet roof of finished product warehouses is
covered with corrugated plastic tuff sheets in Sheikhupura Factory.
