Abstract The cement industry in Pakistan has grown steadily over time. At the time of freedom in 1947, there were only 4 cement factories with a total output of nearly 0.5 million tons. By 1972, the number of cement factories increased to 14 and the total output also increased to 2.5 million ton but this pace could not be continued in parallel with the country’s financial growth. Both Government and private sectors worked on proposals to set up new factories. Following the new policy of the Government of Pakistan, cement industry was also nationalized along other industries in 1972 and the “State Cement Corporation of Pakistan (SCCP)” was constituted and given the responsibility of production of cement in the country. Taking into account the high cement demand as compared to supply, cement import was also allowed in financial year (FY) 76-77 and continued until FY 94- 95. For this report, we have selected cement industry that provides cement. Research Objective The objective of that study is exploring and describing the level of knowledge, degree and practice with regard to corporate social responsibility and ethics being practiced by cement industry in Pakistan.

AbstractThe cement industry in Pakistan has grown steadily over time. At the time of freedom in 1947, there were only 4 cement factories with a total output of nearly 0.5 million tons. By 1972, the number of cement factories increased to 14 and the total output also increased to 2.5 million ton but this pace could not be continued in parallel with the country’s financial growth. Both Government and private sectors worked on proposals to set up new factories. Following the new policy of the Government of Pakistan, cement industry was also nationalized along other industries in 1972 and the “State Cement Corporation of Pakistan (SCCP)” was constituted and given the responsibility of production of cement in the country. Taking into account the high cement demand as compared to supply, cement import was also allowed in financial year (FY) 76-77 and continued until FY 94-95.

For this report, we have selected cement industry that provides cement.

Research ObjectiveThe objective of that study is exploring and describing the level of knowledge, degree and practice with regard to corporate social responsibility and ethics being practiced by cement industry in Pakistan.
