SCC Holdings Berhad | Annual Report 2018 12. Social and Communities We acknowledge that providing employment opportunities for all is the single most effective means of tackling poverty and social exclusion. Due to our business expansion, we are constantly providing employment opportunities to locals from all walks of life. The Group also places great importance in nurturing youngsters and preparing them for corporate and community leaderships. We welcome undergraduates with diversified backgrounds with open arms. As we know, fund raising is the lifeblood of orphans in needs and children are the future pillars of the nation. Thus, our Group is making a conscious effort in supporting the annual charity fund raising bazaar organised by Angels Children’s Home. The funds raised were contributed to the orphanage to support their daily operation cost and educational needs. Helping those who are underprivileged is our way of giving back to society. Workplace The Group believes that employees are the most important assets of the organization. We encourage employees to actively participate in various activities such as weekly sporting events, bi-weekly morning assemblies, monthly corporate culture trainings and yearly get-together festive celebrations. These activities foster positive relationships among employees which in turn lead to harmonious and conducive working environment. To equip the employees with up to date products knowledge and operation, regular trainings are provided on both soft and technical skills, so that they could face with whatever challenges that might be coming their way. The Group recognises the importance of a safe and healthy working environment. Therefore, it has invested heavily on anti- electromagnetic radiation (Anti-EMR) equipment which reduces harmful, carcinogenic EMR exposure. In terms of safety, protective gears like safety boots and others are provided to employees to avoid workplace accidents. SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT (cont’d)
