Message from MD

Auko-Tex Group. is aware of its economics, social, and environmental responsibilities from a global perspective, it conducts its projects and best practices in line with the “People First” approach. Since its inception in 2002, we have been respectful to human rights, environmentally conscious, and committed to workers’ and employees’ rights and safety.

ATG has been involved with several projects that address the issues of the environment, society, ethics, and global goals. It strongly believes that businesses must run with the corporate sustainable approach not just meeting Company and national requirements but even global perspectives. Its sustainable philosophy is long-term and matches its steps to social and environmental programs. It believes that people living in any place deserve the right to be returned in every environmental and social issue while the business of a Company flourishes with more competitiveness. We are aware of the air emissions to the environment and put our sincerest efforts into maintaining water footprint so that the environment is not contaminated; what we sincerely believe is, we have to put all our efforts into giving back to the world as it gives to us.

For the safety and security of the employees, all-out efforts have been taken. All the buildings are connected along with the rooftops to have easy evacuation at the time of any unexpected crisis. We have taken all positive steps for the health and education of the children of our workers and staff. Efforts & and focus have been given on training, especially for their health and production-related issues working with the HER+ project for female workers and HIS Project for male workers. Training on nutrition and child care has also been provided, and 24-hour hospital and ambulance are available for the workers, staff, and employees along with free medical support from affiliated hospitals nearby. We are whole-heartedly committed to continuing to perform our social, environmental, ethical, and global responsibilities and working to spread business principles and UN Global Goals among the community.
