STRENGTHENING OUR MARKETPLACE
As a key player in themany different businesses that we are involved in, CMS is
keen to create tangible value for the many sectors, markets and communities
in which we operate. The year saw us impacting our marketplace for the
better with several significant milestones.
In 2016, we initiated a project aimed at expanding our contribution to
Sarawak’s development by providing the location for the first Blue Ocean
Entrepreneurs Township (BOET) in Bintawa, Kuching. Dubbed ‘Borneo 744’,
this initiative calls for the development of a regionally renowned platform
for Sarawak’s cultural and entrepreneurship activities, as well as its trade and
market development initiatives.
We also rolled out East Malaysia’s first Integrated Cement Plant amounting to
RM190.0 million which will provide the Group significant reserve production
capacity to materially reduce the risk of supply disruptions in the State. The
Group also signed a variety of contracts relating to works on the RM2.20
billion Integrated Phosphate Complex at the Samalaju Industrial Park. This
facility, which is set to become the largest integrated phosphate additives
plant in Southeast Asia, will provide jobs for some 1,200 people when
operational.
PRESERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT
To date, the Group has been applying best practices, innovative operating
strategies and technologies to minimise our environmental footprint. Our
strategies encompass refining our environmental practices, by developing
more robust and integrated air, materials, waste and water environmental
strategies that surpass basic compliance standards.
Our commitment to improving our energy management abilities was
underscored by our achieving full ISO 50001:2011 certification at our clinker
plant in May 2016, just under a year from when we initiated the process. The
energy management framework of the ISO 50001:2011 is enabling us to set
objectives and measures results in a more effective manner and we continue
to make good headway here. We also began the implementation process at
our Kuching plant during the year and will follow suit with our Bintulu plant
in 2017.
ENGAGING OUR WORKFORCE
The CMS Family is indeed that - a family - and this comes from years of
carefully cultivating and combining the best of two environments: the warmth
and companionship of a family environment, with the professionalism of a
well-run meritocratic listed company. Today, we continue to look for the
best talents, retain them, nurture them within a creative environment, as
well as work together with them to find new and innovative ways to deliver
ever-increasing value to our four stakeholders, namely our shareholders,
customers, staff and the community. It is these ties that bind that have led us
to deliver good results time and time again, even amidst challenging times.
Our efforts to keep our people happy are underscored by the results of our
most recent Employee Satisfaction Survey which is conducted every two
years. I am pleased to say that our 2016 results were better than our 2014
results with 94.2% of our employees happy in their jobs as compared to
93.7% in 2014. Even as we focus our efforts on engaging with our people
and creating a more conducive workplace environment where they can find
a harmonious balance between work and life, we believe we are making
good progress as a company.
