The Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited (FFCL) was founded in 1978 as a result of a joint venture between Fauji Foundation and HaldorTopsoe A/S Denmark. The main aim of investing in the fertilizer sector in 1970’s was to locally manufacture urea and meet the country’s fertiliser requirement to provide food security. The major portion of capital for establishing FFC’s first plant came from Fauji Foundation, which also leads the board. After establishing three plants and becoming the largest fertiliser producer of Pakistan, the FFC now has diversified by investing in various sectors such as banking (Askari Bank limited), energy (FFC energy limited) and food (Fauji Fresh n Freeze).
The FFC has always looked beyond its financial profitability and is one of the highest contributors to the national exchequer, having contributed approximately Rs.400 billion since the inception of the company. Only in the year 2016, the FFC contribution amounted to Rs 45 billion as tax payment. The FFC has been awarded by South Asian Federation for Accountancy (SAFA) for transparency and corporate governance in South Asia bringing pride to Pakistan. The FFC has also been declared first amongst the top 25 companies on PSX consecutively for the last six years.
