With the aim to develop an open culture, accountability and integrity, our Whistleblowing policy offers protection and places significance on confidentiality, encouraging employees and third parties to speak up if serious concerns about misconduct and irregularity arise. Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) The Group recognises the responsibility to be constructive as a member of the community, and seeks to create value for society. The Group had made donations to National Cancer Society of Malaysia and Bukit Bintang Charity Society for the less privileged.

During the financial year, the Group partnered with the Philippines Gawad Kalinga organisation to build homes for the less privileged communities in Philippines and planted tree seedlings at the Sirindhorn International Environmental Park, Thailand. ENVIRONMENT The Group is committed to minimise our environmental impact, manage our environment footprint and seeks to uphold environmental concerns with application of new technologies and industry best practices that are environmental friendly. Our approach to acknowledge significance of paper usage against environment impact is to avoid unnecessary paper consumption and waste generation.
