April 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy, an independent non-profit organisation with the objective to promote philanthropic initiatives for social sector development in Pakistan, is holding the 3rd Pakistan Corporate Philanthropy Awards in Sheraton Karachi on April 3, 2009.  These awards are given to honor the contributions made by the country’s corporate sector under their corporate social responsibility initiatives. The Awards have two categories for public-listed companies: Business entities which make philanthropic contributions in terms of volume of donations, and as a percentage of profit-before tax. Under each category, five top companies will be given awards from among the list of 25 top ranked corporate givers.

Since 2007, PCP has been a host of this event. Previous year, the ceremony was held at the  Prime Minister’s Secretariat, Islamabad, where Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani gave away the awards to top 3 corporate givers of 2007. The function was attended by leading businessmen, federal ministers, parliamentarians, senior government officials, civil society representatives, donors and the media.

For 2006, in terms of highest volume of donations, Oil and Gas Development Company Limited, Pakistan Petroleum Limited, and Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited were the three top companies in rank order. Sitara Energy Limited, Gul Ahmed Textile Mills Limited, and Sally Textile Mills Limited received the top three awards in order for volume of donations as a percentage of profit before tax.
