KARACHI: InnoCSR, a South Korean social impact company, announced that it has signed a new agreement with two major brick manufactures in Nepal, Eco Brick and Shiva Sakti Home Decorative, to share the company’s eco-friendly soil-based brick making technology. InnoCSR’s sustainable impact technology, with significant reduction in production time, is expected to aid the troubled Nepalese brick manufactures who have been facing disruptions in labor supply and global material shortage due to Covid-19. “By partnering with Eco Brick and Shiva Sakti Home Decorative, we are able to help Nepal’s major brick makers increase productivity with fewer workers while cutting greenhouse emissions at the same time,” said Sam Yoonsuk Lee, CEO and Founder of InnoCSR. “The agreement signifies our continuous expansion in the country since our entry in 2018, and we believe our efforts in introducing impactful technologies will help Nepal both economically and socially.” InnoCSR first introduced its non-fired soil-based brick making technology, Good Bricks System, to Nepal in 2018. The Good Bricks System uses a special soil stabilizer material technology to produce strong, global standard quality bricks.
