ENRICHING THE PEOPLE OF SARAWAK
The year also saw us strengthening our efforts to
support the communities in Sarawak through donations,
sponsorships, contributions in-kind and employee
volunteerism under our ‘CMS Doing Good’ banner. CMS
employees clocked a total of 45,534 man-hours in 2016
for a host of Corporate Responsibility activities including
fund-raising charity sales, rebuilding communities,
jogathons, community work and much more. At the
same time, our people raised a total of RM117,121.00 in
funds that were distributed among various locally-based
charitable organisations, mosques, churches, a home for
the elderly and children’s homes. We continue to look
for ways to enrich the communities in which we operate.
All in all, I am rather pleased with what we achieved on
the sustainability front in 2016.
