CONTINUING OUR COVID-19 RELIEF EFFORTS As society continued to feel the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for a second year, BIMB continued to offer support to a wide range of organisations and bodies to which we were able to make a positive contribution. Over the course of the year, BIMB found opportunities to make contributions which benefitted more than 19,600 people in total. Supporting Hospitals The resurgence of COVID-19 cases during the year tested the resilience of the public healthcare system and BIMB acted to support these vital medical facilities and our frontliners. We supported the immediate needs of COVID-19 hospitals by contributing RM200,000 worth of supplies of vital items such as Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”), isolation gowns, hand sanitisers, face masks, boots and head covers to five hospitals across the nation, which benefitted more than 16,000 individuals. Additionally, we supported a group of five COVID-19 hospitals in different parts of the country by providing them with the much-needed oxygen regulators as they dealt with the sharp rise in the number of patients being admitted. Each of the five selected hospitals received 10 oxygen regulators under our Prihatin COVID-19 initiative. BIMB also donated RTK COVID-19 test kits to Hospital USM in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, which benefitted 300 members of B-40 families who needed to remain at the hospital to look after loved ones. 127 Key Messages Overview Value Creation MD&A Sustainability Leadership Accountability Financial Additional Information INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 202 1
