Hub Power Station is the first Company in the country to attain certification of its Environmental Management System to the International Environmental Standard ISO 14001. This was achieved in May 1997.

The Company operates a comprehensive tree plantation programme at station with a workforce of about 30 employees drawn from the nearest villages.

A comprehensive Environmental and Social Soundness Assessment study was conducted prior to the Project. This analyzed the impact the Project would have on the local environment and considered the Plant emissions.

The solid and liquid wastes from the Plant are all contained and adequately treated before disposal. There will not be any discharge into the environment of harmful solid or liquid material. The height of the chimney was increased to 200 meters as a result of the study. This was to ensure that when the proposed Fauji Plant (660 MW) and a coal-fired Power Station (2000 MW) at Gaddani were constructed, the ground level concentrations of sulphur dioxide and nitric dioxide would not exceed the limits prescribed by the World Bank

Since the plant was commissioned, all discharges from the Site are being monitored. Ground level monitoring stations for gaseous emissions are distributed around the area of the Power Plant.

Recently, a group of about 100 experts from 35 countries, belonging to an NGO called Leadership for Environment and Development (LEAD), visited the plant to assess HUBCO's Social Action Programme, as well as its environmental policies and practices. They were impressed by the international standards adhered to at the plant and the ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 certifications received as a result. The work done under the SAP and Apprenticeship Training Programme were also appreciated by the LEAD experts.
