EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERISM
CMS initiated a ‘Doing Good’ culture in themid-
1990s and its Corporate Social Responsibility
or CSR role has continued to expand and
evolve. Since 2007, CMS has focused primarily
on direct employee participation in CSR
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
and have certainly helped build up respect for
CMS within the local community.
As part of our annual KPI, employees at the
executive level and above are required to
undertake at least 24 hours of CSR activities in
a year; whereas non-executives must undertake
at least 8 hours of CSR activities.
In 2017, CMS employees dedicated a total of
48,420 man-hours (2016: 45,434 man-hours;
2015: 43,526 man-hours) for CSR activities
including fund-raising charity sales, rebuilding
communities, jog-a-thons, community work
and many more.
