Maybank holds simultaneous global CSR day project

Through the Group employee volunteerism programme, thousands of Maybank employees joined together for the first time in a global CSR initiative.

The Group-wide programme held last 20 November 2010 was part of Maybank’s 50th anniversary celebration themed 'Close to You' and involved its international operations in Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Bahrain, London, New York and Papua New Guinea.

Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid Omar, President & CEO Maybank, said, “This one day reaffirms our commitment to be close to communities. It is also our employees’ strong call to action in living up to our mission to humanise financial services across Asia. In preparation for this, Maybankers have contributed their own funds as well as organised various fund raising activities for their respective projects.”

Activities focused on five key areas of Maybank’s CSR efforts, namely education, welfare, sports, environment and health & medical needs.

“We are able to mobilise our entire Group employees as we adhere strongly to our CSR philosophy of ‘Growing with Responsibility’. There is also a strong spirit of volunteerism among Maybankers built through our involvement in the community where we have reached out time and again to help the underprivileged as well as those affected by natural disasters,” said Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid.
