Corporate Social Responsibility
Our Group acknowledged the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) in our business practices. Our
CSR platform touches upon responsible business practices, environmental stewardship and education stewardship.
We run our operations in line with our values, applicable laws and regulations and with integrity. We believe in empowering
people close to the actions to take ownership and responsibility, and instill a culture that values honesty, integrity and
transparency alongside innovation and continuous improvement. To that end, we launched our whistle-blowing policy
in 2011 to strengthen our corporate governance practices and provide employees with accessible avenue to report in
good faith suspected fraud, corruption, dishonest practices or other similar matters.
As well as meeting our customers’ needs, our business activities are directed towards addressing environmental
aspiration. We work alongside our customers to develop effective solutions that will help them address green issues
by reducing the life-cycle impact of their equipment and improving processes through recycling, reusing, repairing,
refurbishing and re-manufacturing their equipment.
We integrate health, safety and environment (HSE) considerations into all aspects of our business operations and
processes as afar as practicable and provide constant training and monitoring to ensure the safety and overall well-
being of our people. We implement and progressively certify the plants’ Occupational Safety and Health Management
System in accordance with OHSAS 18001:2007 with the aim of preventing accidents, injuries, occupational illness and
pollution, and conserving natural resources.
In line with the increasing global awareness for environmental protection, we require all our business to operate in an
environmentally responsible manner. Our approach is to ensure strict adherence to environmental legislation governing
treatment of plant effluents and waste water, and maintain strict control to minimize the adverse impact on the
environment. Our facilities are accorded ISO 14001:2004 certification and we encourage all our operating subsidiaries
to adopt an environmental management system to manage their environmental performance.
Delivering outstanding performance requires exceptional people. At Frontken, we aim to create a culture of lifelong
learning, driven by a training and development programme to support continual self-improvement and help our people
achieve their potential. We sponsor students to compete in events to create a culture where students not only emulate
leaders in science, technology and engineering, but also realize the potential within them to someday be one of those
pioneers.
From a community prospective, we continue to support and promote education and training in the regions where we
operate, seeking to improve the future prospects of both future leaders of the world and our workforce, we extended
support to Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education by providing its students with skills and knowledge, as well as
exposure in global business trends and developments and different work practices cultural environments at our service
plants in Singapore and Malaysia. We also encourage employees’ involvement in efforts to help local communities.
