MALAYSIA'S MAYBANK TO HOST BIGGEST CSR CAMPAIGN
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's largest financial services group Maybank is set to create another record with more than 15,000 employees across its international network participating in its Global Corporate Responsibility Day on Saturday.
The event is believed to be the biggest corporate responsibility initiative ever by a Malaysian company globally and simultaneously in a day.
"Apart from Maybank employees in Malaysia, participation from the group's offices abroad include New York, London, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Brunei, China, Bahrain and Singapore.
"Maybank Chairman Megat Zaharuddin Megat Mohd Nor, President & CEO Abdul Wahid Omar as well as senior executives and staff across all levels will unite for a variety of causes which will focus on education, environment & conservation, medical and community," the bank said in a statement on Wednesday.
Internationally, the group's operations are making their presence felt in whatever way they can with Maybank London employees creating awareness amongst youth by giving a talk on ethical banking practices at the Malaysian Student Department while Maybank Philippines will be organising a flu vaccination drive for Grade 3 and 4 students at Bagong Silang Elementary School.
Maybank New York will collect, sort and deliver food donated by the staff and the Bank for City Harvest -- the world's first food rescue organisation dedicated to feeding the city's hungry men, women, and children -- and in Vietnam, Maybank employees will contribute to build a house for the handicapped and homeless children studying at the Long Thanh Vocational School.
Maybank Cambodia will lead a community development programme in a
house-building project but also provide monetary support to fund these houses while Maybank Singapore will participate in a massive collection of recyclable materials from all staff, called Project ICE (I Care for Earth).
