AMAL collaborated with a non-profit organisation, Persatuan Kebajikan Sedulur (Sedulur), to execute empowerment initiatives for the community at Mabul Island, Sabah. We also partnered with ReefCheck Malaysia on environmental protection initiatives to protect the biodiversity of the marine life around Mabul Island. Success Stories: Driven by ESG and VBI aspirations, Bank Islam is also going beyond offering financial products and services to uplift and empower local communities through our corporate social responsibility arm, AMAL Bank Islam (AMAL). MABUL ISLAND, SEMPORNA AMAL’s community service and sustainability programme at Mabul Island, Semporna, Sabah is more than just an initiative – it’s a movement towards a better future. By incorporating green technology and eco-friendly applications, we aim to establish a holistic, sustainable living environment in the community. We are upgrading proper sanitation systems at homes and supporting the local economy and welfare. To gauge the effectiveness of the installed sanitation system, we partnered with ReefCheck Malaysia to monitor the growth of seagrass and the biodiversity of marine life around Mabul Island. SEKOLAH SAUDARA BORNEO AMAL is empowering the community through a series of initiatives in collaboration with Persatuan Kebajikan Sedulur (Sedulur). At Sekolah Saudara Borneo, a school for stateless children, we installed solar panels to provide electricity, constructed a new and proper sanitation system to protect the growth of seagrass, and upgraded the community square complete with solar lights. We also supported local shopkeepers and small businesses around the island with equipment to boost the local economy and provided portable solar lights, food packs, and reusable sanitary pads to the Bajau Laut community. PUSAT (AMAL) LATIHAN DAN AMALI ORANG KELAINAN UPAYA (OKU) SABAH IN TUARAN AMAL’s partnership with Yayasan Sabah College of Technology (YSCT) aims to make a real difference in the lives of physically disabled individuals. The Pusat (AMAL) Latihan dan Amali Orang Kelainan Upaya (OKU) Sabah in Tuaran trains these individuals in acquiring new skills such as carpentry and furniture making to supplement their livelihood. After the centre’s carpentry workshop was damaged by last year’s flood, AMAL provided cash contributions to assist in rebuilding efforts, while YSCT provided a group of 20 lecturers and student volunteers to aid in fixing the electrical and wiring of the centre, enabling the workshop to reoperate. Together, we are creating opportunities for a brighter future. Sustainability Statement Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad 109 01 05 03 07 02 06 09 04 08
