Promoting Responsible use of freshwater by ensuring sustainable social, economic and environmental benefits
Mismanagement of water resources by government and business has resulted in very serious water scarcity conditions in Pakistan and it will have implications for the sustainability of future supply chains for business and industry. Under these circumstances, the corporate sector has to play a role at the policy making and implementation levels, for securing their supply chains in future by propagating sustainable water use at different levels of operations.
Agriculture constitutes the largest sector of Pakistan’s economy. Despite a structural shift towards industrialization, the agriculture sector still has a great impact on our socio-economic setup. It accounts over for 21 percent of the GDP, absorbing 45 percent of the country’s total labour force. About 62 percent of the country’s population resides in rural areas, and is directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture for livelihood. The sector is a primary supplier of raw materials to downstream industry (ginners, spinners and processors), contributing substantially to Pakistan’s exports.
