Chemical Company of Malaysia Berhad Sustainability Report 2018

Our Commitment To Sustainable Social Practices Back to School Programme In 2018, CCM contributed RM30,000 towards the purchase of school supplies for the children of selected employees. The school supplies comprising school uniforms, socks, shoes and stationery sets were distributed to 139 children of 65 selected employees. The recipients were identified based on the household income report by the Department of Statistics and other related requirements. To date, more than 900 students have benefited from this programme since it was launched in 2015. This initiative has proven successful through our good partnership with Canggih Malaysia, one of our Bumiputera vendors, who has managed to bring quality and style to the school uniforms. Ten of our employees lent a hand in rolling out 2018’s programme. PGM CCM Championship 2018 The annual PGM CCM Championship event continued to make good progress through its objective of honing talented Malaysian golfers to become professional players while setting the platform for their career progression in the international arena. In 2018, CCM contributed RM150,000 towards this programme which saw participation by 118 local and international golfers and three of our employees who were involved in implementing the programme. The year in review also witnessed CCM’s maiden involvement in the PGM Ladies Championship 2018 which was opened to professional female golfers in Malaysia. At the event, Nur Durriyah Damian clinched the top spot to take home a cash prize of RM11,000. Sadly, however, the 2018 edition of the PGM CCM Championship also marked CCM’s final sponsorship of the event. Over the last eight years of sponsoring this annual event, we have altogether contributed some RM2 million towards strengthening Malaysian golfing talent. FRESH GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES [203-2] Given today’s volatile economic conditions, the job market has become very challenging for Malaysian citizens but especially so, for fresh graduates. There is an abundance of talent, but unfortunately job opportunities are limited. CCM continues to do its bit to alleviate this situation by hiring fresh graduates. We believe that the younger generation has high potential as they are keen learners and bring an abundance of creativity and fresh ideas to the table. CCM has been involved in fostering young talent since 2013 via the Skim Latihan 1Malaysia Programme (SL1M) and the Millennial Apprentice Programme (myMAP). myMAP The My Millennial Apprentice Programme (myMAP) is a fast-tracked development programme for talented graduates to achieve their maximum potential and build a successful career as the future leaders of the Company and on a global level. The myMAP was introduced in 2014 to transform CCM into a talent-powered organisation that enhances the quality of life of Malaysians. This initiative aims to attract graduates from different disciplines who are assimilated into an 18-month on-the-job training programme which gives them a chance to experience two job rotations and exposure to different departments. This helps us assess the capabilities and talents of apprentices before they are given permanent positions. The myMAP helps nurture participants’ career growth and self-development while teaching them how to adapt to the corporate world. In return, myMAP candidates bring fresh and innovative ideas to the table. 42 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018
