Our community-based activities reflect our philosophy of implementing sound business practices; innovating to deliver value-added products and services; assisting the communities in which we operate; and helping to shape a better, sustainable society. SBM Group believes that these activities benefit society, environment and enhance corporate value. With a view to centralising the CSR initiatives of our subsidiaries under a common theme for greater impact to the local communities, we have set up the SBM Foundation in 2016.
Our Group’s social projects focus on providing tools and opportunities to vulnerable groups so that they acquire the required skills to enhance their employability and thus become economically independent. Thus, most of SBM Group’s CSR projects focus on providing the relevant tools and opportunities to vulnerable groups so that they are adequately equipped and skilled to enhance their employability and improve their current financial situation.
SBM Group remains fully committed to applying sustainability practices at its workplace and in the community at large. This can be seen through various internal and external initiatives adopted by the Group.
