Corporate Social Responsibility
Qarshi is a socially responsible organization that fulfils its mission and lives by its values. In our daily operations, we at Qarshi conduct our business ethically and with integrity. We believe in dealing fairly with all stake holders, taking care of our employees and providing needed service to the community and the world we trade in.
We care for the environment through direct and in direct environment conservation practices. In our manufacturing process total ecological harmony is maintained by ensuring efficient waste conversion systems that achieve zero solid waste level all year round.
For the maintenance of plants, beautification of parks and conservation of environment, we have long standing relationships with government and non government organizations like PHA and WWF. Maintenance of JS Park, Qarshi Point and JS Boulevard in Lahore are some examples of giving back to the community. We also regularly sponsor exhibitions, flower festivals and workshops and seminars for building awareness of environmental issues at leading colleges.
Qarshi Research International has also won widespread appreciation for its remarkable efforts for Environment Conservation, sustainable harvesting of medicinal plants, maintaining Qarshi Herbs Centres and Herbal Gardens.
Under our CSR activities we contribute to the welfare of the people in devastating situations. For example in calamities like earth quake, we took part in rehabilitating the victims and helping to prevent outbreak of infectious diseases in the affected areas. In recurrent flood situations, quick relief is provided in terms of food (Jam e Shirin, Garden’s powdered drinks, Ramadan items, Jams and Pickles) natural medicines such as Aab e Nuqra (for making water bacteria-free) and Kare drops( for preventing epidemic infections of eyes, nose and throat)
