Recycle Today for a Better Tomorrow
Corporate Philanthropy
Recycle for Charity
A Life Saving Commitment
In an effort to reduce waste and pollution, CMS’ Construction Materials &
Trading Division has inculcated recycling as a culture. On 17 April 2017,
they recycled 3,875kg of waste such as newspapers, plastic bottles,
papers, cardboard boxes and aluminium cans and raised RM1,315.55 for
their Welfare Fund.
At CMS, we aim to do our best for society via our ‘Doing Good’ platform
by lending financial support to initiatives that have a positive impact on
local communities. A full list of these initiatives would be too voluminous
to report. However, we prioritise community development, sporting
activities, health, education and culture.
In 2017, we spent close to RM1,040,592 on philanthropic causes and
donations. All donations and sponsorships were made to charitable
and sports events within Sarawak, targeted at activities which were
significant either to the receiving charity or to strengthen CMS’ image
in the community.
On 14 July 2017, CMS organised its second recycling day and raised
RM1,000 for charity. Proceeds of this recycling campaign went to the
Sarawak Society for Parents of Children with Special Needs (PIBAKAT).
SAVING LIVES
CMS organised two blood donation drives on 4 March 2017 and
23 September 2017 with 58 and 61 successful donors, respectively.
Blood donation drives are organised regularly at CMS Cement Industries
Sdn Bhd’s Pending and Mambong plants. This is to encourage our
employees to donate blood more conveniently, as many of our regular
donors, especially those who work shifts find it difficult to get to the local
government or private hospitals to donate.

our volunteers to clear rubbish along the beach. Proceeds from the
activity totalling RM10.80 (21.5kg) went to CMS Cement Industries’
Welfare Fund.
This Year, Resolve to be Better by Reducing, Reusing & Recycling
SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS
The recycling campaign organised by Group Internal Audit Department

arrived all excited to offload, with stacks and parcels of recyclable items,
comprising of newspapers, aluminium cans, cardboards, mixed papers,
and plastic bottles. A total collection of 6,336kg (worth RM1,759.30)
