I got a chance to visit the Urban Forest today, a green initiative on Pakistan Cables’ industrial estate, where team members from the organization have planted over 40,000 trees since 2020.  This fantastic environmental conservation practice shows how businesses like Pakistan Cables are leading the way to a green, clean and sustainable future” said Mr. Mike Nithavrianakis.
