The 14th CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Summit was held by the National Forum for Environment & Health (NFEH) of Pakistan recently. Shanghai Electric's Thar power station project was awarded the CSR Award, while its Thar coal mine project won the Public Health and Safety Award, Social Responsibility Award for Education, Community Service Award and Green Power Program Award.

The Thar power station project department supported the local people's livelihood in various ways. For example, it donated food to local orphanages on Children’s day, presented gifts to local children at the Corban Festival, contributed masks to local universities during the pandemic, and assisted Mithi government in holding the Thar Color Festival, offering a platform for local residents to sell handicrafts and agricultural products.

The Thar coal mine project department provided pandemic prevention materials to local residents timely when the COVID-19 pandemic outbroke, and proactively realized the full immunization coverage of basic vaccines for Chinese and Pakistani employees. Besides, it also relocated nearly 500 indigenous families around Thar Block-1, providing accommodation and basic living security for the residents, and established the "Thar Chinese Teaching Center" with the Confucius Institute of the University of Karachi to provide free education of Chinese language for the residents and Pakistani employees of the project.
