METRO Cash & Carry’s commitment to Pakistan is also echoed in its donations to the President’s Earthquake Relief Fund.– The company donated €100 000 in January 2006 towards President's Earthquake Relief Fund. It also has plans to fund development activities in the country in association with the German Investment and Development Company.  Such activities have successfully been carried out in other countries. A recent example in Vietnam and a similar program for fishermen and sheep farmers in India where more than 900 fishing crew and 18,500 sheep farmers were trained about the best practices.

METRO Cash & Carry plans to invest in Pakistan on a sustained and reliable basis in the years to come. The company’s unique business model offers potential for a decrease in market prices and promotion of local goods and personnel.
