DESTINI AR 2017

Destini is fully committed to ensuring the interests of its employees, shareholders and stakeholders through practical practices of Corporate Sustainability (CS). This means managing our business responsibly to ensure long-term success for the Company. We understand how our social and ethical conduct could have an impact on our image, pride and reputation. We therefore take CS very seriously and will not neglect the aspects of CS which are pertinent to the business operations of the Destini Group of Companies (the Group). Our CS efforts are mainly channelled through Yayasan Destini (Yayasan), which was set up in December 2013. The objectives for which the Yayasan is established are: a) Charity-Welfare Programmes To fund and promote charitable events and causes that encourage the improvement of socio-economic conditions especially to communities caught in the poverty cycle and former servicemen who have served in the armed forces. b) Religious Support To provide support for NewMuslims (converts) and their families by giving guidance on Islam through awareness programmes, structured classes and one off seminars. c) Environmental Activities To educate the community on the importance of environmental conservation as well as to enhance positive community engagement by becoming an active participant that supports sustainability initiatives. At the same time, mindful of the need to be a corporately responsible organisation, Destini undertook various steps to play its part in contributing to the welfare of the society and communities in the environment it operates. Within this context, we have defined our commitment to CS as follows: For the Community At Destini, we believe that there is a need for continuous corporate community involvement activities because they play an important role in terms of gaining our customers’ confidence and respect, apart from infusing good values within our workforce. Yayasan supported many social activities that involves education and social programmes such as blood donations and community services. In addition, we also ensure that the welfare and wellbeing of ex-servicemen who are retirees from the Air Force, Navy and Army is not neglected. It is a commitment by Destini as a practise of good CS to provide employment to ex-servicemen, ever since we initiated our business operations. We acknowledge that the ex-servicemen could contribute positively to the Company even after their retirement and that the valuable experience, skills and mastery in their industries can still be gainfully utilised. We are proud to remain one of the very few Groups in the country that comprehensively looks into the welfare of these ex-servicemen after their retirement age. At present, majority of our employees are ex-servicemen. For the Workplace To ensure that the Group sustains its stand as an employer of choice, we will continue to send our employees to various training and development programmes, seminars and workshops to enhance their professional development and skills in their respective areas of interest. Apart from that, we believe in our commitment to continuously boost good ethical behaviour within the Group, with utmost concern for employees’ healthcare, security and safety. Employees are constantly encouraged to be good corporate citizens and to work together as a team in a productive and healthy environment. Our employees also abide by a code of conduct that stresses on the values and ethics that we strongly believe in. The Group is also looking into improving the overall Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Performance. The Management has taken steps to improve the safety and health performance as well as promote a safety and health culture amongst its employer via various programs, campaign and training conducted all year round. 48 DESTINI BERHAD CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT OF
