Our story NRS International is a family company offering fit-forpurpose relief products that make a difference to the lives of those in need. Responding to the growing global demand for humanitarian aid, we do business in a sustainable way, embracing the ‘doing good, doing well’ philosophy.

We develop and manufacture shelter solutions, core relief items, mobile storage units and long lasting-insecticidal nets. In 2016-2017 we sold 61 million products to UN agencies, NGOs and government entities. We are an integral part of the humanitarian and global health supply chains and our essential products have improved the lives of 110 million beneficiaries in the past year alone.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

NRS International is the parent company to NRS Relief and TANA Netting and we are strategically located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), a global humanitarian hub. We manufacture what we sell in our modern production facility – H. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din & Sons – in Lahore, Pakistan.

We are ready to respond 24/7 and we pride ourselves in having multicultural and multilingual employees who are willing to go the extra mile when disaster strikes. We are committed to providing fit-for-purpose products and offer solutions that are driven by our clients’ needs.

In addition, we perform field assessments and are passionate about logistics and quality management. By tapping into over 40 years of excellence in production, we are able to combine our strengths and be ready when the unexpected happens.

To emphasize our sense of duty to conduct responsible business – especially as a supplier to the not-for-profit sector – we align our business objectives with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our approach to business

Responding globally, meeting needs locally In April 2015, Nepal faced a complex disaster when a devastating earthquake hit the mountainous country. At NRS International, our aim was to effectively assist affected populations through our holistic ‘Rapid Response Strategy’ (RRS) approach that respected local needs and communities. We witnessed our multipurpose tents being put to inspirational use at the prominent Amitabha monastery in Nepal, making a difference to the lives of 300 nuns.

This was just one small part of a much more comprehensive response.

Emergency relief is the nature of our business and requires a holistic and sustainable approach.

Award-winning approach

As a result of this integrated and immediate response approach, we were shortlisted for the UPS International Disaster Relief Award 2016. This recognizes businesses that make a unique contribution to addressing international disasters and help communities to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters.

Rapid response to the Rohingya refugee crisis

Field assessment in Kutupalong camp, Bangladesh

“Evaluating the situation on the ground allows us to better understand how to efficiently respond to the crisis, at the same time enable the humanitarian organizations to efficiently distribute vital aid to the affected communities. As technical experts, we strive to find the best logistic solutions to facilitate the supply chain of emergency relief items.”

Martina Aureli, Sales & Business Development Manager Asia & Oceania In the early fall of 2017, almost 600,000 Rohingya refugees have poured into Bangladesh, a mass movement dubbed by the UN Refugee Agency as the ‘fastest-growing refugee emergency in the world.’

Working hand in hand with local aid agencies, we were one of the first relief suppliers to visit Kutupalong camp in Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh. Our aim was to understand the challenges faced by the field teams and to assess the existing needs of the beneficiaries. We activated our RRS approach so that aid agencies and local authorities get the required supplies of emergency response materials as quickly as possible.

Relief products supplied

Despite logistical challenges, we managed to get the much-needed relief items directly to Myanmar and Bangladesh using air and sea transportation:

100,000 thermal blankets 200,000 sleeping mats 60,000 tarpaulins 36,000 water containers 21,000 LLINs 4 mobile storage units Caribbean crisis

Collaborating with local NGOs on the ground In the space of just a few short days in September ‘17, many islands of the Caribbean were hit by Irma and Maria, two of the most destructive hurricanes in recent years. In the British Virgin Islands, the storms wiped out much of the infrastructure and barely left a house standing.

In response to the needs identified by our local partners on the ground, our Latin America team traveled to Puerto Rico to assess the current situation and to collaborate with various organizations that are committed to relief, recovery and rebuilding efforts on the hurricane-hit islands.

Building community resilience and raising public awareness

Develop partnerships for response and post-disaster initiatives As a private company working with the non-profit sector, we take our role in the humanitarian supply chain seriously. More than just providing emergency relief items, we are also committed to build community resiliency and to raise awareness for people to take action on the pressing global issues. We also share our experiences with the academic community, particularly on how we support international response teams, thereby enriching their research and helping them convey the message to the world.

Relief and health essentials dispatched to 110 million beneficiaries We played a significant role in the response to crises around the world and we will continue to build strong public-private partnerships for effective and responsible relief operations.

The demand of our sector is highly volatile due to the unpredictability of the occurrence of natural disasters and unexpected humanitarian crises.

Our strategy to diversify our portfolio, widen our client base and invest in new territories has paid off. We have served 27% more clients (75 in 2015-2016) and dispatched goods to 15 new countries compared to the previous year (increase of 24%). This is the result of the commitment of our business development team, who have travelled to humanitarian hotspots and fostered local relationships with clients.

Logistics & transport Natural disasters and humanitarian crises do not keep time, so we make sure we are at your service, 24/7. At NRS International, we offer an efficient global logistics service. Our strategic locations in Dubai and Pakistan ensure that our emergency stockpiles are ready for immediate deployment.

“Humanitarian operations are 80% about logistics.”

“No destination is too difficult. Our experienced in-house logistics team can make a difference in times of urgency.

During the recent Caribbean and Rohingya crises, we managed to shift goods quickly and efficiently, navigating the difficult circumstances we faced.

Our aim is simple: enabling our clients to deliver aid essentials as quickly as possible.”

Transportation by air, land and sea

Our international network and multilingual professionals work hand in hand with you to ensure that the required goods are exactly where they need to be at the agreed time. We are able to arrange reliable transportation by air, land and sea with our trusted carriers to respond to emergency scenarios.

Emergency stock available 24/7

Our strategic emergency stock of core relief items is available in Dubai and Pakistan for immediate deployment, even to remote destinations. In the aftermath of any disaster, we provide core relief items that are vital for a person’s survival.

Logistics support

Our goal is to efficiently transfer relief goods from a source location to a predefined destination. We operate based on the Incoterms 2010 Chart of Responsibility, as governed by the International Chamber of Commerce guidelines. We make it possible to deliver to hard-to-reach destinations, so that the survival commodities reach the intended beneficiaries at the right place, at the right time.

Supply chain management

We understand that humanitarian logistics is crucial to disaster response. With our integrated approach, we coordinate inter-organizational performance, eliminate redundancy, and maximize efficiency along our supply chain.

Innovation supports sustainability We strive to pioneer products that meet the needs of the end-user. Since the launch of our ‘Innovation in Action’ campaign in 2015, we have introduced various gamechanging products following this holistic, collaborative approach.

Our product developments are beneficiary-driven, sustainable and evidence-based. The solutions are the outcome of a cross-cutting process in which each individual and/or institution contributes. We follow a cycle of innovation that invites all actors to contribute to the optimal product. This collaboration model is applied to every single relief item that we manufacture, from buckets to tarpaulins, from tents to treated mosquito nets.

This results in better quality results, greater client and beneficiary satisfaction and technological breakthroughs that have a real social impact.

Our recent innovations Fire retardancy We are the first supplier to bring fully fire retardant tents and tarpaulins to the field, which took years of extensive research and development. This significant milestone has made refugee camps safer.

Jerry Bucket The Jerry Bucket is the result of our collaboration with Oxfam’s WASH team. The improved design of the 14L bucket creates a stackable safe water container that is easy to clean and will reduce the risk of water contamination.

Synergist mosquito nets The new generation DawaPlus® 3.0 and DawaPlus® 4.0 offer long-lasting insecticide-synergist netting that uses patented insecticide technology to improve efficacy of the nets. This innovation is specifically designed for regions in which mosquitoes have developed resistance to pyrethroid insecticides.

Canopy Hammock The DawaPlus® Canopy Hammock is designed to reduce malaria transmission in the remote forests of the Greater Mekong Subregion and was developed in partnership with the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp.

Corporate responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) shapes our approach to business. We leverage a variety of resources in pursuit of economically, environmentally and socially sustainable operations. Over the past 40 years, we have continuously made improvements across our operations. We understand that this entails an ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of our employees, the environment and the communities where we work.

Creating a better world to live and to work in, starts at home. It is with this in mind that we have aligned our business operations with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of globally agreed

To ensure a data-driven, measurable approach to sustainability, our subsidiary TANA Netting published its first Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in 2016. Using GRI’s social, economic and environmental indicators allows us to accurately chart our contribution towards the SDGs and – equally as important – to identify areas for improvement moving forward.

To activate our sustainability agenda, we follow the classic CSR pillars of People, Planet and Profit - also known as the Triple Bottom Line.

Social responsibility

We focus on creating a safe, diverse, merit-based working environment in Dubai and Pakistan that values teamwork yet allows for individual development. We invest in the communities where we work.

Through our family-run charity, the Bilqees Sarwar Foundation (BSF), we continue to expand our pledge to our communities. Our foundation focuses educational opportunities and improved healthcare services – as exemplified by our Bilqees Sarwar Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. This world-class health facility with expert physicians provides free or subsidized health care to more than 12,500 people every month.

Economical responsibility targets to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. We try to advance the SDGs in every domain of our operations.

Our effort to become a more responsible business is guided by our membership of the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest corporate sustainability network. We adhere to the UNGC’s principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anticorruption, and take actions that to embed them throughout our operations and supply chain. Every year we submit our UNGC progress report, which is increasingly important document for assessing suppliers in our sector.

We are committed to entering new markets and creating fit-for-purpose and cost-effective products for the aid and relief, public health, and development sectors. We focus on financial sustainability, relying upon continuous innovation and product diversification.

Our aim is creating maximum value for our clients and maximum impact through our products.

Environmental responsibility

At NRS International, minimizing our ecological footprint is considered an incentive rather than a burdensome exercise in compliance. We are committed to reducing emissions and waste, while seeking to recycle and reuse across our production processes wherever possible.

Story of Khalida The Women’s Empowerment Principles in practice

Sustainable Development Goal number 5 calls for gender equality and the empowerment women and girls. At NRS International we stand by these commitments – as demonstrated by our business operations.

In 2015, we signed the CEO Statement of Support for the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) under the UN Global Compact. We recognize that the inclusion of women in our workforce drives economic development and is necessary for success. In 2017 we relaunched a safe female-friendly production unit at HSNDS. This unit is completely staffed and managed by women, and currently employs 200 skilled members of staff.

Meet Khalida

Khalida is one of our employees working at the HSNDS female unit. Acting as Deputy Supervisor in the sewing department, Khalida is responsible for stitching TANA Netting’s DawaPlus® longlasting insecticidal nets, which protect people from malaria. In addition, she provides training to new staff. As a widow and the main breadwinner of the family, Khalida works tirelessly to provide a better future for her four daughters and two sons. Khalida and two of her children have been working at HSNDS for three years now.

At HSNDS, it’s all about learning new techniques and skills to Watc h become more efficient. I am docu our minionlin mentary grateful to the female unit and knowe to get to Khali and da an the confidence that I gained work averag e in our fe g day in from working here. I am male unit. becoming more assertive and professional every vsingle day.”

Investing in women We believe in equal opportunities for all, especially in countries where we traditionally see a low labor force participation rate among women.

In the knowledge that women can produce our nets just as well as men, it makes perfect sense to offer equal employment opportunities to both sexes.”

Rune Bosselmann, Director of TANA Netting

Proudly stitched by Pakistani women

We, being powerful women, must know our rights and release the power we have within us. Never lose hope, stay focused and keep moving.

Khalida, Deputy Supervisor at HSNDS-TANA Netting female unit

“According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2016, Pakistan ranks second to last worldwide in gender-based disparities.

We want to challenge this unacceptable statistic. We are proud to say that Pakistani women make products for NRS International. We believe that a mosquito net that helps someone in Africa can empower women in Pakistan as well.”

Francesca Cocozza, Head of Business Development & Sales at NRS International

We manufacture high quality, WHOPES-recommended DawaPlusÂŽ insecticidal nets to combat malaria and other vector-borne diseases. Recently we launched the DawaPlusÂŽ 3.0 and 4.0 synergist nets using patented technology, as well as a soft, durable 150D net.

29

www.nrs-international.com

Product innovation TANA Netting strives to pioneer products that protect the lives of those threatened by malaria and other vector-borne diseases. We follow a process we call ‘Innovation in Action’ which invites all stakeholders to contribute to the optimal product.

This results in higher quality products, greater client and beneficiary satisfaction and technological breakthroughs that have a real impact.

Building on the tried and tested success of our existing DawaPlus® products, we have extensively collaborated across the private and public sectors, with academia, and with the beneficiaries themselves. Our new WHOPES-recommended products directly address challenges currently being faced in the fight against malaria:

DawaPlus® 3.0 and 4.0 designed to counter resistance to standard pyrethroid nets.

DawaPlus® 2.0 150D a high-strength 100% polyester net with softer feel and better airflow through the net.

DawaPlus® Canopy Hammock a hammock that incorporates DawaPlus® 2.0 netting and is designed to address malaria transmission in remote forests.

DawaPlus 2.0 ®

Our core product is the DawaPlus® 2.0, a long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) that lasts a minimum of 20 washes or three years. It is soft and durable and comes in different deniers (75, 100 and 150), shapes, colors and sizes. We can accommodate product design to the requests of clients.

New 150D

DawaPlus® 2.0 - 150D

We offer DawaPlus® 2.0 LLIN in high strength 150 denier yarns and a mesh size of 14 holes per square cm. This gives the net more strength, a softer look and feel and better airflow under the net while sleeping. The 150D net is up to 50% stronger than a standard 100D polyester net in some strength measurements.

DawaPlus® Sandfly Net

DawaPlus® Sandfly Net has a fine mesh of 35 holes per square cm that prevents biting from small insects such as sandflies and phlebotomes. This net is specifically developed for areas with leishmaniasis. The net is originally sand colored to reflect user preference and to ensure a long practical life. It is also available in other colors.

DawaPlus® Curtain

DawaPlus® Curtain is made from DawaPlus® material and can be used as a screen on doors and windows or to cover eaves to prevent disease-carrying insects from entering into the household. The curtain comes with accessories for installation.

DawaPlus 3.0 & 4.0 ®

The new generation of DawaPlus® products offer longlasting insecticide-synergist netting. Our patented technology is based on innovative insecticide delivery technology to improve efficacy of nets. Designed specifically for regions in which mosquitoes have developed resistance to pyrethroid insecticides, the synergist targets the resistance mechanism, allowing the insecticide to be fully effective.

Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) is incorporated into the netting, which acts alongside the deltamethrin. The PBO is a synergist, considerably enhancing the effectiveness of the pyrethroid insecticide by suppressing the mosquito’s enzyme defenses. We optimize each yarn to release either PBO or deltamethrin. This way we can ensure a proper ratio of the synergist during the lifetime of the net.

DawaPlus® 3.0 DawaPlus® 3.0 incorporates this advanced netting into the roof of the net, with the sides of deltamethrin coated polyester.

DawaPlus® 4.0 incorporates this advanced netting into the entire net, providing the maximum level of protection.
