Annual Report 2023 59 SOCIETAL CONTRIBUTION We believe businesses have a responsibility to contribute to society and give back to the communities in which they operate. Guided by the Group’s “LIFE” motto, we continuously seek ways to facilitate employee engagement and make a positive impact through our CSR initiatives. In FY2023, we continued to make monetary contributions with a total of approximately RM480,000 involving a series of donation to charitable causes, which included non-profit retirement and underprivileged homes and contribution towards national sports agenda, among others. By providing financial support, we sought to assist in their efforts to provide a conducive and nurturing environment for the homes. In addition to these contributions, we have also made a payment of RM2 million to Pusat Pungutan Zakat Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (“PPZ-MAIWP”) as our corporate zakat contribution. Apart from monetary contributions, we also encourage and support employee engagement in community service activities. During the year, our employees had the opportunity to contribute by participating in a Gotong-Royong at a welfare home for indigenous youth, Asrama Darul Falah (“ASDAF”) PERKIM in Kuala Lumpur. Through our collaboration with Malaysia Lawn Bowls Federation (“MLBF”), our employees together with children from ASDAF also spent some time trying their hands at lawn bowling under the facilitation of Malaysian lawn bowlers. In addition to our community service efforts, we also fostered a spirit of teamwork and healthy competition by sponsoring a team to represent Datasonic in Kuala Lumpur OCBC Cycle, a 42km bicycle race around Kuala Lumpur. At Datasonic, we prioritise social inclusivity, safety and health, and community development. We strive to create a positive social impact by promoting diversity and inclusion in the Group’s workforce, fostering a safe and holistic work environment, and supporting the community through job creation and Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) programmes.
