KARACHI: The American Business Council (ABC) on Thursday announced the results of the first Annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Awards to commemorate companies that have made strides in sustainability and social impact.

The winners included Coca-Cola Pakistan (Environment — Nature Saviour), Pepsico (Environment — Response to Climate Change), PMI (Social — No poverty, No hunger), KFC (Social — Education, Gender Equality) and McDonald’s (Environment), says a press release.

Chief guest Senator Fawzia Arshad said the alarming rise in climate disasters in our country can only be mitigated if the private sector and the public sector work together. This is not one institution’s job.
