SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT COMMUNITY RELATIONS As a diversified conglomerate, we recognise our role as a nation builder, and this starts with supporting the local communities in which we are based. Beyond the employment opportunities we provide and the local businesses we engage as our suppliers, we empower socio-economic development by investing in community infrastructure, building community resilience and providing financial assistance to underserved and marginalised groups. On a yearly basis, we pay zakat (tithes) to state governments through our subsidiary, Dagang Net, which is in turn channelled towards various worthy causes including old folks homes and orphanages. These contributions deepen our ties to local communities and also build our reputation as a caring organisation across our stakeholder groups. We also provide financial assistance in response to natural disaster and other emergencies. In FY2022, we contributed RM60,000 to help communities ravaged by the December 2021 floods that devastated many communities in Peninsular Malaysia, and donated a total of RM50,000 in financial aid during the Ramadhan month, providing disadvantaged families some respite during this sacred time of the year. Apart from these, we have also contributed to various other CSR programmes and recorded over 200 employee volunteering hours. DAGANG NeXCHANGE BERHAD 182
