EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERISM
CMS initiated a ‘Doing Good’ culture in the mid-1990s and its Corporate Responsibility or CR role has continued
to expand and evolve. Since 2007, CMS has focused primarily on direct employee participation in CR activities and
we continue to inculcate a sense of concern and a caring attitude among our employee as a matter of policy. Direct
employee participation takes the form of multiple year-round employee volunteerism. These projects are often led by
CMS employees who have built respect within the local community.
As part of our employees’ annual KPI, employees at the executive and manager or above positions are required to
undertake at least 32 hours of CR activities in a year; whereas non-executives must undertake at least 24 hours of CSR
activities.
In 2016, CMS employees dedicated a total of 45,534 man-hours in 2016 (2015: 43,526 man-hours) for CSR activities
including fund-raising charity sales, rebuilding communities, jogathons, community work and many more.
CMS DOING GOOD
Our ‘Doing Good’ activities continue to champion our community-based CR efforts which have seen our employees
step up to the plate time and time again to help those in need. In 2016, our employees raised a total of RM117,121.00
in funds. The funds were distributed among various locally-based charitable organisations, mosques, churches, a home
for the elderly and children’s homes to assist them in their day to day expenses.
Our various ‘Doing Good’ programmes are discussed under the following sections.
