OUR CSR PHILOSOPHY
At Berjaya Corporation group of companies, we believe in striking a balance between profitability and our social responsibility to the communities in which we operate.
By the nature of their businesses, Berjaya companies come into contact with the lives of many in the community on a daily basis. To inculcate the spirit of caring and sharing, Berjaya has always encouraged its staff to share their skills and talents in service of others by contributing their time and energy voluntarily towards the Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. Charity projects, fund-raising events and donations have been an ongoing aspect of operations as a social commitment.
The Berjaya Cares Foundation was set up with the objectives of providing aid to needy Malaysians, promoting staff well-being, conserving and protecting the environment as well as promoting and preserving Malaysian performing arts, culture and heritage. The Berjaya Cares Foundation aims to create a more synergistic effort in the CSR initiatives of the various subsidiaries within the Berjaya Corporation group of companies.
Among the core focus of the Group are encouraging literacy among underprivileged children and its community outreach programmes.
The Group has dedicated money, time and manpower to set up mini libraries and recreation corners in selected children’s homes. Books, stationery and other miscellaneous items were purchased as well as collected from Berjaya staff and members of the public. Monthly story-telling and craft sessions for these children are also organized at a different Borders store each month.
As part of our effort to improve learning disabilities and increase self-confidence among children from poor families, Berjaya Cares Foundation has put in place a special learning programme in selected children’s homes, focusing on improvement of reading skills, comprehension and concentration.
Workplace
Staff welfare has always been accorded high priority in Berjaya. The Group and its subsidiaries constantly strive to improve the quality of life in the workplace by focusing on their employees’ well-being and career development. In order to improve on their productivity and develop their skill sets, employees are encouraged to participate in various training and development programmes relevant to their areas of work.
Berjaya Cares Foundation organizes regular talks on health, safety awareness and other relevant topics for personal development, while the Sports Toto Fitness Centre, boasting state-of-the-art gymnasium equipment and facilities, was set up to encourage staff to exercise regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
A Staff Welfare Fund was set up under the BCF to manage and supplement financial aid to staff and their families in times of crises and need due to illness, natural disaster and death.
The Group also seeks to undertake projects to conserve and improve the natural environment. Our hotels and resorts have regularly engaged in on-site clean ups of beaches, parks and even the coral reefs. Staff volunteers and their families are encouraged to participate in these clean-ups and learn more about the importance of protecting nature.
Pledging a commitment to do business in ways that are both good for our community and our planet, several Berjaya subsidiaries have also incorporated Green initiatives into their business practices - such as the way products are packaged, choosing more local suppliers and opting for online business documentation to save on paper.
Malaysia is rich in its cultural diversity, and we are proud to have been able to contribute significantly towards the preservation and promotion of our local Arts and Culture heritage for the benefit of all Malaysians by supporting events such as Festival Kesenian Rakyat Malaysia, The Sun’s Walk to Support Batik and the Kuching Festival, as well as artistic performances such as the Jewel of Tibet Musical, Return of Shaolin Kungfu, Prince Siddharta – The Musical and more modern renditions like P.Ramlee - The Musical and Cuci -The Musical and Lat Kampung Boy - The Musical, Cabaret and Always in Wonderland.
On the international front, Berjaya has also provided support towards victims of natural disasters. Berjaya has donated cash and kind to victims of natural disasters all around the world. Beneficiaries of our timely contributions have included the North Korea Famine Relief Fund, Mercy Humanitarian Fund, The Palestinian Humatarian Aid Fund, The Tsunami Relief Fund, flood victims in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam, victims of the earthquake in Sichuan Province, China, the Pakistan earthquake and the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami disaster.
