Through educational support and in-kind contributions, we strive to create enduring positive impacts on the wellbeing of surrounding communities. Organising CSR Programmes and Charity Contributions We take pride in our commitment to supporting and strengthening local communities through various in-kind charitable contributions and CSR programmes, cementing our role as a socially responsible organisation that prioritises societal well-being. By forging strong partnerships with these stakeholders, we may influence to drive sustainable development initiatives that benefit the broader community. Understanding the concerns and needs allow us to develop targeted action plans. Through this structured framework, we strive to build meaningful relationships through community dialogues. Managing Community Relations and Cultural Sensitivity Criteria detailing communication activities for each target community category are outlined in the Local Community Communication SOP, guiding decision-making on CSR projects. On a larger scale, our Communications & Public Relations (“CPR”) Department serves as a medium to facilitate effective stakeholders’ communication, addressing various issues such as economic, social, cultural, environmental, safety and health concerns as well as emergency risk communications. Our commitment to local communities is further detailed in our Human Rights Policy. We recognise the diversity of our workforce and community, respecting differences in customs, cultures and values. In Sarawak, our induction programme helps our ethnically diverse workforce to understand and respect local customs, backgrounds and traditions as well as promoting cultural sensitivity and inclusion in daily interactions. In tandem with this, we continuously evaluate and seek to improve our community management approach while conducting training programmes to raise greater awareness among our employees. Promoting Community Development The CPR Management System delineates our CSR agenda around five (5) pillars: socioeconomics, health and safety, education, environment and sports. Each pillar is guided by specific CSR categories as its guiding principles, while some pillars may be paired with one or more categories, allowing for a comprehensive approach to community development.

The protocol is designed to have a transparent process for dealing with grievances and complaints in a fair, consistent and prompt manner. We ensure that community members can voice their grievances promptly and satisfactorily, guaranteeing that the needs of our community stakeholders are heard and addressed, thus promoting the transparency and accountability in our decision-making processes.
