⊲ Social Responsibility The Group acknowledges our responsibility as corporate citizens, and Destini has undertaken various efforts to improve our environmental and social initiatives. We believe that the value of volunteerism to our community will provide caring character and empathy among our employees and community. Therefore, we encourage our employees to reach out to various communities by allowing them to take time off from their regular duties and participate in various charitable and community activities. We have from time to time made donations to various charitable organisations with the eye to support: • Charity-Welfare Programmes - to fund and promote charitable events 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. • 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. Aside from this, we also ensure that the welfare and wellbeing of ex-servicemen who are retirees from the Air Force, Navy and Army are not neglected. It is a commitment by Destini to provide employment opportunities to ex-servicemen, ever since we commenced our business operations. We acknowledge that the exservicemen could contribute positively to the Group even after their retirement and that the valuable experience, skills and mastery in their industries can still be gainfully utilised. In this respect, the Group is proud that it has been a strong source of employment for these ex-servicemen for past years. This has raised the quality of life of these ex-servicemen as there is greater income stability and consequently, better and improved living standards and conditions. The Group recognises the correlation between business growth and social well-being and welfare. Therefore, in fulfilling its corporate responsibilities to the community in which it conducts its business, the Group is obligated to nourish and improve the quality of the society. The Group focuses on enhancing community sustainability through various activities and actions to promote community engagement and address the needs of less fortunate and underprivileged families. With this in mind, Destini is fully committed to its Corporate Social Responsibility programs by engaging in various community service events by supporting its surrounding communities through various methods including providing financial assistance to a large and diverse group of nonprofits, schools and charitable organisations.
