Shamshad Akhtar, who is currently on the board of SSGC, has also been appointed director on the board of Engro Fertilisers, according to a notice at the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
Some officials are of the view that the move may influence SSGC’s board as it is to take decision on allowing Engro to replace its floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to handle LNG import.

SECP Asks Listed Companies to Implement Gender Diversity Policies
To foster a beneficial and comfortable working environment for Pakistani women, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has asked listed companies to formulate and implement gender diversity policies to attract and retain talented women.
Pakistan figures fairly low in the Global Gender Gap report index, prepared by the World Economic Forum, and there is a strong need to encourage women participation in the workforce, developing in-demand skills, and creating opportunities for women to advance into leadership roles within the corporate sector.
The SECP has always been a strong advocate for gender equality, internally and in its regulated sectors, and firmly believes that gender diversity in decision making has a proven correlation with the enhanced financial performance of the corporate sector and the overall growth of the economy.
