Partnerships for a Sustainable Future: Driving Sustainability in Pakistan

At Norhydro, we recognize that building a sustainable future for Pakistan is essential to ensuring the long-term well-being of its people and environment. A key pillar of this effort is the strong collaboration we foster with a range of stakeholders, including local communities, government agencies, businesses, and NGOs, to promote sustainability and circular economy principles. Our work in Pakistan is deeply rooted in partnerships that ensure inclusivity, innovation, and long-term impact.

Collaboration with Local Communities

Local communities are at the heart of our sustainable development efforts. In regions like Gilgit-Baltistan, where Norhydro is actively involved, we prioritize working closely with community leaders and organizations such as the Gilgit-Baltistan Rural Support Program (GBRSP) to ensure that our initiatives align with local needs and directly benefit the people. Through open dialogue and continuous engagement, we incorporate the perspectives of these communities into our decision-making process.

Our projects also focus on community development through skills training in renewable energy, waste management, and sustainable agriculture. By fostering local capacity building, we aim to empower these communities to take ownership of their development and promote sustainable livelihoods.

Partnership with Government Agencies

Government agencies play a pivotal role in driving sustainability through policy, regulation, and institutional support. Norhydro maintains a strong partnership with the Government of Gilgit-Baltistan and collaborates closely with Pakistan’s Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC). The SIFC plays a critical role in facilitating investments in key sectors, and Norhydro is committed to aligning with its objectives to ensure our projects have maximum impact.
