121 SECTION 4 SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2025 Our Strategic Pillars in Action The following spotlights provide a glimpse into the impactful projects our teams delivered in 2025 under each of our strategic pillars. Humanity: Supporting Vulnerable Communities This pillar focuses on improving the quality of life for underprivileged individuals and families. Our efforts are centred on providing practical, needs-based support to create a lasting positive impact. Project Spotlight: Transforming Education in Batam Through School Infrastructure Upgrades The cornerstone of our community investment in 2025 was our flagship school infrastructure programme in Batam, Indonesia. This multi-phase initiative is dedicated to creating safe, secure, and enriching learning environments for thousands of students in communities near our operations. Throughout the year, our dedicated employee volunteers leveraged their engineering and construction expertise to execute significant upgrades across several schools, including SMPN 65, SDN 007, SDN 006, and SDN 011. The work included building new facilities such as storage rooms and reading parks, concreting school yards to improve safety, and installing new drainage systems. This programme is a prime example of our hands-on philosophy. In 2025 alone, our Batam team dedicated nearly 8,000 volunteer man-hours to physically carry out the construction and repair work, with Wasco providing all necessary materials. This deep, skills-based involvement ensures a high-quality outcome and creates a powerful sense of shared ownership. The programme in 2025 directly benefited over 3,500 students, demonstrating our longterm commitment to empowering the next generation through education. Healthcare: Promoting Health and Well-being This pillar aims to support community health and wellness. Our approach is two-pronged: providing critical support for immediate healthcare needs, and investing in longterm, preventative care to build healthier, more resilient communities. Project Spotlight: Preventative Care and Emergency Support In 2025, our healthcare initiatives were highlighted by two major programmes: Nationwide Blood Donation Drives: Recognising the critical need for safe blood supplies, our teams across Malaysia and Indonesia organised several large-scale blood donation drives. A key event in Batam, Indonesia, saw 167 employee volunteers partner with the Palang Merah Indonesia (Indonesian Red Cross), successfully collecting 103 bags of blood to support local hospitals. These drives are a direct lifeline to the community, addressing urgent medical needs. Proactive HPV Vaccination Programme: Moving beyond reactive care, our team in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, launched a proactive HPV vaccination programme in collaboration with Poliklinik As-Shifa. This initiative provided free vaccinations to 30 beneficiaries from vulnerable communities, offering crucial long-term protection against cervical cancer. This programme represents a strategic investment in the future health and well-being of young women in the community. Environment: Protecting Our Natural World This pillar connects our social efforts with our environmental commitments. We believe in taking an active role in protecting and preserving the natural ecosystems in the communities where we operate, with a focus on combating pollution and promoting clean energy. Project Spotlight: A Multi-Faceted Approach to Environmental Stewardship In 2025, our environmental initiatives was highlighted by a distinct, high-impact programme: A Regional Campaign Against Marine Pollution: We tackled the critical issue of marine debris through collaborative cleanups in Indonesia. In Batam, we continued our strong partnership with the NGO Free the Sea. Our employee volunteers participated in multiple cleanup events, successfully removing hundreds of kilograms of plastic and other waste from local coastlines. These initiatives not only helped restore local ecosystems, but also raised crucial awareness about plastic pollution among our employees and the wider community. Promoting Renewable Energy at the Community Level: Demonstrating our commitment to the energy transition, our team in Kuantan executed a unique project to bring clean energy to a local community hub. We funded the installation of a complete solar panel system for a local mosque, with a total contribution of RM48,895. This project delivers a powerful dual benefit: it helps the mosque reduce its long-term operational costs, while also lowering its carbon footprint, serving as a prominent local example of renewable energy in action.
