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 who 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 upcoming 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.”
