 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY :

• PAKISTAN WIRE IS ONE OF THE FOREMOST PRODUCERS OF HIGH QUALITY WIRE USED IN BEDDING AND SEATING,
MEACHANICAL SPRINGS FOR ENGINEERING, CONSTRUCTION AND WIRES FOR GENERAL WIRE PRODUCTS.
• IN ORDER TO MINIMISE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF OUR OPERATIONS, WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE
PREVENTION OF POLLUTION THROUGH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES:
• 1. COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS, INCLUDING IPPC PERMIT CONDITIONS AND
IMPROVEMENT PLANS. WE WILL COLLABORATE WITH THE AUTHORITIES AND WITH OTHER COMPANIES IN THIS SECTOR

WASTE IS DISPOSED OFF IN A SAFE, ENVIRONMENTAL FREINDLY WAY.
• 3. DIRECT OPERATIONS TOWARDS THE RATIONAL USE OF RESOURCES, PACKING AND ENERGY, AND THE
APPLICATION OF RECYCLING AND RECOVERY TECHNIQUIES AIMED AT REDUCING WASTE.
• 4. ADOPT NEW TECHNOLOGIES, WHEN AVAILABLE WHICH ENABLES US TO FULFILL THESE OBJECTIVES.
• 5. INVEST IN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE HIGHEST STANDARDS FOR ALL EMPLOYEES TO

 IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

• ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT IS AN ELEMENT OF AN ORGANIZATION'S ACTIVITIES, PRODUCTS OR

SERVICES THAT CAN INTERACT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF
ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS.
• (I) DIRECT ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT ACTIVITIES OVER WHICH A COMPANY CAN BE EXPECTED
TO HAVE AN INFLUENCE AND CONTROL. FOR EXAMPLE, EMISSIONS FROM PROCESSES.
• (II) INDIRECT ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL ACTIVITIES OVER WHICH THE
ORGANIZATION CAN BE EXPECTED TO HAVE AN INFLUENCE, BUT NO CONTROL. FOR EXAMPLE,
SUPPLY CHAIN CONTROLLED ASPECTS, CUSTOMER CONTROLLED ASPECTS, ASPECTS MANAGED
ELSEWHERE WITHIN THE SAME COMPANY.
 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS IN WIRE INDUSTRY

• • ELECTRICITY
• • METALS
• • EFFLUENTS
• • EMISSION OF SOLVENTS TO AIR
• • GAS USAGE
• • FIRE
• • SPILL
 REGISTERS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

(1) ELECTRICITY
EVERY ORGANIZATION USES ELECTRICITY TO A GREATER OR LESSER DEGREE. WAYS OF REDUCING
CONSUMPTION BECOME OBVIOUS DURING THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.
• ASPECT:
ELECTRICITY GENERATION CONSUMES NATURAL RESOURCES (OIL,GAS.COAL) AND TREATS ATMOSPHERIC
EMISSIONS CO2,SO2 ETC . CO2 LEADS TO GLOBAL WARMING SO2 LEADS TO ACID RAIN.
A KWH OF ELECTRICITY IS EQUIVALENT TO APPROX 0.44KG OF CO2
NOTE THE GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS TO IMPOSE A CLIMATE CHANGE LEVY,POSSIBLY AT 0.43P PER KWH.
• • SOURCE OF ASPECT:
• THE GREATER USER OF ELECTRICITY IS THE FACTORY TO POWER PLANT AND EQUIPMENT.
• ALSO USED FOR LIGHTENING , OFFICE MACHINES INCLUDING COMPUTERS.
• • IMPACT:
• THERE WILL BE DEPLETION OF GASES BECAUSE USAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 7500000 KWH PER
ANNUM. CORRESPONDING CO2 EMISSIONS ARE 2500 TONNES .

• • COMMENT:
• THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW SHOWED THAT THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO SAVE ELECTRICITY
BY:
• REVIEWING ILLUMINATION LEVELS . SOME COMMON AREAS ARE OVER ILLUMINATED.
• INSTALLING SENSORS IN COMMON AREAS SO THAT LIGHTS ONLY SWITCH ON WHEN PEOPLE
ARE PRESENT AND THE LEVEL OF NATURAL ILLUMINATION IS INSUFFICIENT .
• SWITCH-OFF CAMPAIGN ACROSS THE SITE BUT PARTICULARLY IN OFFICES.
• OPERATING PROCEDURES:
• OPERATING PROCEDURE 11 ENERGY CONTROL AND MONITORING

 (2) METALS

• • ASPECT:
• COPPER IS METAL WHICH IS MAJORLY USED IN THE FORMATION OF WIRES . IT HAS TO PASS THROUGH MANY STAGES TO PRODUCE
COPPER WIRE SO IT CAUSES MANY KIND OF EMISSIONS AND CAUSES SOIL POLLUTION
• 6.5% OF CO2 EMISSIONS DERIVE FROM IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION FOR MAKING WIRES.
• • SOURCE OF ASPECT:
• DIFFERENT KIND OF METALS FOR MAKING WIRE SUCH AS COPPER, LEAD , PLATINUM ETC.
• DURING ANNEALING OF METALS FOR MAKING WIRES SOFT.
• • IMPACT :
• CO2 , VOCS EMISSIONS INTO THE AIR CAUSING AIR POLLUTION
• RUNOFF OF METALS CAUSES WATER POLLUTION
