The conference comes at a critical time as Pakistan continues to face escalating climate risks, including devastating floods, extreme heatwaves, worsening air quality, water scarcity, and rising food insecurity. Despite contributing minimally to global emissions, Pakistan remains among the most climate-vulnerable countries, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated, large-scale climate action.
Through this partnership, Zong reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Pakistan’s climate agenda, emphasizing that climate responsibility is now a core element of its business strategy. The company stated that it is actively working toward building green, low-carbon operations while integrating next-generation technologies with environmental sustainability.
A key highlight of the conference was the panel discussion titled “From CSR to Climate Leadership – Mobilising Pakistan’s Private Sector for Climate Action.” Zong was represented by Najeeb Ullah Khan, Deputy Director Network Operations, who joined industry leaders in discussing the role of public-private partnerships in strengthening climate resilience.
Speaking at the panel, Najeeb Ullah Khan stressed that climate action is a core business priority for Zong, particularly as a critical communications and technology provider. He highlighted the company’s focus on developing energy-efficient and climate-resilient infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted connectivity during environmental crises.
He further noted that Zong is investing in renewable energy systems, intelligent network technologies, and operational resilience to reduce its environmental footprint while strengthening its ability to support emergency response and community needs during disasters.
Zong also shared its progress in infrastructure transformation, stating that 85% of its network sites have been converted to solar and lithium-ion energy solutions, generating approximately 1.43 million kWh of clean energy annually. This transition has played a crucial role in maintaining connectivity during flood emergencies in Sindh and Balochistan, enabling communication support for rescue operations and affected communities.
Beyond infrastructure upgrades, the company has also expanded its environmental initiatives. In collaboration with the Ministry of Climate Change and Pak EPA, Zong has planted 3,500 indigenous trees in Islamabad. Additionally, energy-efficient work practices have resulted in monthly savings of over 22,000 kWh, further contributing to its sustainability goals.
The company emphasized that platforms such as Breathe Pakistan are essential for aligning public and private sector efforts toward scalable climate solutions and long-term resilience strategies.
As Pakistan continues to confront intensifying climate threats, Zong stated that it remains committed to embedding sustainability into its core operations, ensuring that technological growth contributes not only to economic development but also to environmental protection and national resilience.
