CMS regularly organises recycling campaigns for our
employees. On 19 January 2016, our Group Internal
Audit department organised its annual recycling drive
and a total of recyclable items consisting of newspapers,
bottles, plastics weighing 4,729kg raised RM1,138.50. A
similar recycling event was held on 29 July 2016 which
racked in a total of 3,238kg raising RM943.50. All monies
went to welfare and charitable organisations in Sarawak.
SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS
The year 2016marked the launchof our CMS sustainability
awareness campaign ‘CMS Goes Green’ with the planting
of trees at The Isthmus, Kuching led by Group Managing
Director, Dato’ Richard Curtis. To promote ‘CMS Goes
Green’, CMS employees together with other Government
departments and private sectors, also planted trees at the
Sarawak Botanical Garden, Petra Jaya in conjunction with
National Landscape Day.
For the first time, CMS also collaborated with the Forest
Department of Sarawak to plant 600 mangrove seedlings
at the RAMSAR Site, within the KuchingWetlands National
Park.
At CMS, we carry out recycling campaigns regularly -
each Division organises its own recycling campaign and
the money raised goes to welfare funds and charitable
organisations in Sarawak.
Recycling at the Workplace
CMS organised two Blood Donation Drives at CMS
HQ premise on 19 March and 1 October 2016 for its
employees and the general public. It drew a huge turnout
with 100 and 54 successful donors respectively.
Blood donation drives are also held at our CMS Clinker
Sdn Bhd and CMS Cement Sdn Bhd (Kuching & Bintulu).
This enables employees to donate blood in a convenient
manner as many of the regular CMS donors who have to
go to nearby government and private hospitals to donate
blood, do shift work.
COMMUNITY CLEAN-UPS
CMS has become deeply entrenched in the communities
that we operate in and we continue to invest in these
communities by undertaking communal clean-up or
gotong-royong
activities participated by our employees.
