BOPMadadgar Launched with Construction of Zero-Carbon Shelters for Flood Affectees at Rojhan City, Rajanpur.

The recent devastating rains and flash floods have inundated vast areas across Pakistan. The Bank of Punjab (BOP), a market leader in Corporate Social Responsibility, has once again been at the forefront of carrying out flood relief activities as it solemnly believes that it's mandatory upon each and every citizen of the country to be actively involved in the rebuilding and rehabilitation of our flood affected brothers and sisters. The bank recently launched its employee volunteering program called BOPMadadgar which has been designed to give our employees an opportunity to participate in uplifting society and doing good for the public at large.

These shelters are durable and have inherent climate-resilient properties, enabling them to withstand flooding. Additionally, these shelters are extremely low cost, easy to construct, and with virtually zero carbon footprint. The houses have the flexibility of being disassembled and moved for making permanent construction.

BOP raised over Rs. 3 billion in various flood relief funds which is probably the highest amount any bank collected from general public.

He also met the flood-affected families which have shifted to the shelters provided by the bank.
