description:

In both its labour and environment component, ILES intended to capitalize on its enterprise support activities to build a business case for compliance. To date, the environment component is well advanced documenting the business benefits of environmental upgrades and practices within progressive enterprises. Based on ILES’ draft business case report of the case for progressive industries, assisted enterprise reported annually savings of 679,456 cubic meters of water, 4.45 million kilowatts electricity, 4.4 million cubic meters of gas, 194 tons of wood and 5,154 ton of coal. Although not as well documented, the labour component’s OSH training activity demonstrated that enterprises could improve workplace safety through no and low-cost changes that likewise improve productivity. ILES, an ILO-led partnership with WWF, aims to help ILO tripartite constituents and other stakeholders to strengthen compliance with national and international labour and environmental laws and standards to sustainably increase the country’s competitiveness while promoting inclusive development. ILES proposes to promote compliance with international labour and environmental standards through two sub- objectives: 1. To assist public sector institutions to improve the enforcement of existing legislation and compliance with international labour and environmental standards in Pakistan as well as define new laws where necessary; and 2. To assist textile and leather sector enterprises to institutionalize the implementation of, and compliance with international labour and environmental standards.
