Resilience, Solidarity and Humanity!
When I started thinking about writing this note; it was to commemorate our 34th Anniversary and Ihad intended to highlight the milestones achieved and all those crucial steps we have accomplishedalong the way with the help of our stakeholders.
However, in the wake of the pandemic coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis that continues to evolve and isprevailing all over the world, the uncertainty and chaos globally is all that encompasses my thoughtstoday.
The business community is witnessing an unexpected wave of paradigm shift as the virus hastriggered a jolt to our globalized way of working; forcing us all to reevaluate our value chains andcherish the interdependence we have all come to take for granted over the years. We as cogs in thischain need to be resilient and provide foundation support for the faltering economic conditions.
In such trying times, I assure that the health and well-being of our employees is our top priority. Al-Karam Textile Mills is taking every possible step inside the mill and within nearby community to helpour employeesand other stakeholders emerge stronger.This crisis is larger than individual efforts; we as a nation need to play our part and together we shallsurface victorious!
