in the areas where the challenge is greatest. To achieve our
goal, a series of in-house training programmes on safety
and health have been conducted with the assistance of
external experts. Emergency exercises including fire-fighting
drills are practised. We ensure that appropriate resources
and support are accessible to maintain high standards of
safety and cultivate a positive safety culture and awareness.
Our Safety & Health Department was active throughout the
year under review by conducting frequent quality audits and
safety checks at individual sites to ensure that all safety
requirements and precautions were strictly observed.
Workforce Diversity Policy
We do not have a policy on workforce diversity of gender,
ethnicity and age. However, we are committed to practice
fair opportunity to all existing and prospective employees,
and to promote a climate of diversity and inclusiveness via
our non-discriminatory recruitment processes. We value,
respect and leverage the unique contributions of people
with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to
provide exceptional service to an equally diverse community.
COMMUNITY
We support communities in many ways. We contribute
significant funding and other resources towards enhancing
the social well-being of the community through supporting
initiatives related to health care, arts and culture, sports,
community development, the underprivileged, disability
groups, and more.
Giving Back To The Society
We encourage our employees to participate in community
and charitable activities. Over the last 12 months, our
efforts included charity drives for the autistic society,
kidney foundation, and other local society care centres.
We also donated to flood victims for damaged longhouse.
In addition to this area of focus, our blood donation drives
are conducted yearly to meet the continuous need for blood
supplies at hospitals and blood banks.
Supporting Local Communities
The Group strongly believes that its business success can
only be sustained when local communities grow and prosper
together with the Group. The Group continues to support
the local communities associated with its operations, and
FY2015 was no exception. We have established a symbiotic
relationship with the local communities and make every
endeavour to bring about mutual benefits. We have been
consistently rendering support in monetary terms and in-
kind to ensure that the basic needs and expectations of the
surrounding communities are attended to.
MARKETPLACE
We place great importance on high standards of quality in
our products, ethical business conduct and are conscious
of safeguarding environmental and social values. We are
committed to cultivate the best practices in complying with
all laws and regulations as well as and the standards of all
certification for the markets we serve.

It is our ongoing policy to ensure that our products and
their sources comply with all regulatory criteria and adhere
strictly to sustainable forestry and plantation practices.

consumers increasingly choose products they perceive as
“ethical” and “environmental-friendly.” We have established
