Sharing the craft
Every craft is a powerful medium of personal expression and singularity of thought. It represents the sheer force of creativity, hinted across its every contour – silently bespeaking a far deeper meaning than first meets the eye.
At Crescent Steel and Allied Products Limited, we share the same gift of moulding passion with purpose. Our goals are shaped by our deep-rooted values, which are reflected in our continuous endeavours towards community development and environmental sustainability.
We believe in giving back to the society, by sharing the craft to empower lives for a better, more productive tomorrow.

CEO’s Message
“Our businesses rely on our ecosystem,
community and people to remain
at the leading edge of technology and
transparency.”
Crescent Steel and Allied Products Limited 2
I am pleased to present Crescent Steel and Allied Products Limited’s first Corporate Responsibility Report.
This year brought multiple development opportunities for us: Formulating our corporate responsibility strategy, redefining our vision, mission and core values to realign our strategic direction with sustainability objectives, mobilizing social engagement through CSAP Foundation and, new stakeholder engagement activities.
Our businesses rely on the ecosystem, community and our people, to stay at the leading edge of technology and transparency. These considerations underpin our strategic direction towards remaining a sustainable and responsible corporate citizen.
Starting off as a steel pipe manufacturer in 1983, today, we have diversified businesses across various sectors including engineering, energy, textiles and capital markets.
Our steel pipes provide industries and households with access to energy and water, our yarn business contributes to the local economy by providing sustainable employment and by purchasing raw cotton from farmers of all sizes across the country, and our alternate power business makes us energy independent and supports the national grid. Most recently we have expanded into the building and construction sector with plans to setup a billet manufacturing plant.
The industrial products we deliver are engines that drive our contribution to a more sustainable nation. I believe that by practicing our values, we will bring a new era of organisational change.
This report gives an overview of our actions and performances in broader perspectives of economics, environment and society.
Ahsan M. SaleemManaging Director & Chief Executive Officer

Our Business
Crescent is a conglomerate
corporation listed on all Stock
Exchanges of Pakistan. Incorporated
in 1983 as a steel pipe manufacturing
business, we now have diversified
businesses across various sectors
with campuses spread across
Pakistan.
Our businesses are divided into three
divisions:
• Steel and Engineering,
• Crescent Cotton Products, and
• Investment and Infrastructure
Development (IID);
And three subsidiary companies:
• CS Capital (Private) Limited,
• Shakarganj Energy (Private)
Limited, and
• Crescent Hadeed (Private)
Limited.
We are leading manufacturers
of large diameter, welded steel
pipes in Pakistan. In addition to the
pipe plant our Nooriabad campus
houses our line pipe coating facility.
The engineering unit at Dalowal
fabricates and erects industrial
machinery.
Crescent Cotton Products at
Jaranwala produces a wide variety
of high quality cotton yarns,
internationally recognized as Lotus.
CS Capital operates under the
umbrella of the Investment and
Infrastructure Development Division
that manages portfolios of stocks
and other securities, real estate and
commodity investments.
Shakarganj Energy (Private) Limited
is a bagasse fired thermal power
cogeneration power plant at Bhone
with a capacity to produce 15 Mega
Watts. The plant will cater to our
energy needs and will supply reliable
emission free power to the national
grid.
During the year, we positioned
ourselves to expand into the
construction sector and plan to set
up Crescent Hadeed (Private) Limited
alongside Shakarganj Energy at
Bhone to manufacture steel billets
through an induction melting and
ladle refining process.
We prefer local suppliers but when
the required materials are not
produced locally or do not meet
the standards of quality and service
outlined in the operational policy
of the organisation we procure
materials from foreign suppliers.
Placing preference on local suppliers
promotes Pakistan’s economy in
addition to reducing our operational
costs, lead-time, and limits our
exposure to foreign exchange risks.
The operations of our divisions
and subsidiaries extend to a wide
geographical region. We mainly
serve public sector organisations and
industrial outlets.
During the current fiscal year we
sold 11,903 tonnes of steel pipes,
8,387 tonnes of yarn and 969
tonnes of cotton locally, exported
about 1,307 tonnes of yarn and 870
tonnes of cotton. 434 machines
and equipment were sold, and have
made investments of Rs. 498 million
and realised gains of Rs. 162 million
through sale of investments.
Our revenues were Rs.6.2 billion
of which Rs. 4.2 billion constitute
payments to suppliers. We made a
profit after tax of Rs. 890 million.
Rs. 35 million was donated towards
various social development
programmes and Rs. 731 million were
paid as taxes and levies. We have
Defined Benefit, and Contribution
Plans for our employees (for
details please refer to Note 5.12.2
– Post Retirement Benefits, in the
Consolidated Financial Statements).
To achieve all of this we have
employed a workforce of 852, with
varying skill sets across diverse
backgrounds, receiving
compensation and benefits of Rs.
252.6 million.

Our approach to Corporate Responsibility
Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility are core areas of our Corporate Strategy. To channel sustainability actions we have developed a focused Corporate Responsibility Strategy supported by ‘Sustainability in Action’, a model to embed sustainability objectives in our organisational culture.
To support this initiative a sustainability team has been identified covering all the areas of the organization. The team is responsible for the overall area, including policies, KPIs and requirements and will develop and drive the implementation of our sustainability actions.
Our goals and commitments are being defined and will be shared with our stakeholders soon.

According to a 2010 UN Global Compact-Accenture CEO study “A New Era of Sustainability”, 93% of the CEOs see sustainability as important to their Company’s future success.
Corporate Responsibility Report 2013 9
Environmental CareWe realise that nature has given us the means and resources to conduct business in a profitable manner and it is our responsibility to ensure that the impact of our business operations is sustainable. We take special care in using natural resources (such as water and raw materials) in an optimum way. We make efforts to compensate any negative environmental impacts by taking appropriate measures such as waste management and tree plantation. We have made investments in a bagasse-based power plant to generate alternate energy without depending on fossil fuels.
Our approach to Corporate Responsibility

Community InvestmentsOver the years, our Company has invested in various areas of community development including education, environment and health. Believing in the philosophy “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” – our community investments are more focused towards providing education. For this we have partnered with The Citizens Foundation to support some of their schools for the under-privileged. We also encourage our employees to volunteer time during office hours.
Our community investments are further detailed in the report.
Our EmployeesWe strive to attract, develop and retain the best talent in the country. For this we train our people to face challenges of the present and future and ensure provision of a safe and congenial environment.
We regularly engage our employees in formal and informal ways to better understand their needs and to align individual and business level goals with our strategic objectives.
Our journey continues with their commitment to achieve excellence in whatever we do.
Corporate Responsibility Report 2013 11

Key ImpactsWe use the power of business
to make positive impacts on the
communities where we operate.
Risks and OpportunitiesWe monitor the risks to our Company
through a comprehensive risk
management framework.
Our steel pipe manufacturing
business is heavily dependent on
public sector investment strategies,
policies and, reforms in the
development and infrastructure
sector. For this reason our corporate
strategy is based on diversification.
The national energy crisis and rising
energy costs have adverse effects on
our operations resulting in increased
production costs. In order to tackle
the challenge our corporate strategy
provides for investment in alternative
energy sources.
The increased competition in the
employers market posed us with the
threat of losing skilled man power.
To mitigate this threat, we have
formulated a thorough HR Strategy
that is focused on increasing staff
retention and improving employee
engagement.
As with all developing countries
Pakistan is faced with a degree of
political and economic volatility.
In some cases the government’s
policies and reforms create an
uncertain business environment
especially in the form of budgetary
and tariff anomalies. We have
adopted a dynamic business
approach allowing easy adaptation,
following any change in government
policies. We are continuously
strengthening our governance
structure to deal with this challenge.
Pakistan’s contribution to the global
Green House Gas (GHG) emissions
is very low, whereas our share is
negligible. However, Pakistan is
highly vulnerable to climate change
caused by developed nations.
Especially in recent years, the country
has been experiencing erratic
monsoon rains resulting in intense
floods and droughts which has
affected yield of crops and therefore
directly disrupts the textile sector. To
mitigate this risk we have maintained
an alternative procurement chain
through imports.
