The Korangi Commerce and Industry Association (KATI) has concluded a collaboration with Hoora Pharma to undertake a large -scale tree planting campaign across Pakistan. Under this agreement, the two organizations aim to plant 100,000 trees to strengthen environmental resilience and promote a greener future.
The official commitment was sealed via a memorandum of understanding signed by Junaid Naqi Allahwala, president of Kati, and Abdul Rasheed Chohan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hoora Pharma. Thanks to this partnership, they aim to combine their efforts in promoting climate action and business responsibility.
Allahwala underlined during the signature event that Kati considers this initiative to be part of his current social responsibility efforts. He noted that industrial and commercial organizations have a role to play beyond their main activities, such as support for ecological catering and sustainable development. According to him, this company shows how the private sector can actively contribute to the environmental objectives of Pakistan.
Abdul Rasheed Chohan reaffirmed the determination of his business to support sustainability and said that the planting of 100,000 trees is more than a symbolic act. He argued that such a campaign had the potential to improve air quality, restore ecological balance and encourage other organizations to adopt similar green projects. He developed motivation as an opportunity for collective impact: not only beneficial for nature, but also as a model of socially conscious industry practices.
