Environmental Responsibility
Eco-Friendly Ship Recycling
At Gadani Shipbreaking Yard, we follow responsible dismantling methods in compliance with the Hong Kong International Convention, ensuring the safe handling of hazardous materials and promoting maximum reuse of recyclable components without any oil spilling in the water.
Efficient Resource Use
By using recycled ship plates, our steel mills reduce waste and preserve natural resources, contributing to climate protection—particularly vital for Pakistan, which ranks among the most vulnerable nations to climate change.

policy, monitor KPIs, and publish transparent performance data. - ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals are being integrated into our long-term
planning and board-level reporting.
