SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018
The Titian Samara Programme is designed to help
bring out the best in the students we work with,
whilst providing them with mentoring, guidance
and emotional support. We are delighted to benefit
from the Group’s sponsorship of this programme,
as it has provided us with an achievable set of aims
that are benefitting hundreds of young people

We believe in contributing economically and socially to the
well-being of the communities where we conduct business.
Supporting economic and social development of the
communities in which we operate is the right thing to do for our
communities as well as for our businesses.
As part of our commitment in strengthening the local socio-
economic base, we provide jobs opportunities for the
communities near our projects. In tandem, the Group hires
and trains local employees at our jobsites, providing technical
training and skills to improve workers’ wage-earning potential.
We also support local suppliers and entrepreneurs through
purchasing local goods and services. A successful example
of this can be seen in Indonesia where 89.8% of contracts for
goods and services have been awarded to small and medium-
sized local companies. In addition, 23.3% of the FFB processed
by the palm oil mill are purchased from smallholder farmers.
Apart from building and furnishing the mosques and schools
located within and around the plantation with the necessary
amenities, our Indonesian subsidiary, PTNJL also funds the
monthly allowance of teachers and imams.
During the year we renewed our sponsorship of Titian Samara
Programme by Persatuan Al-Hunafa.
TheNGO’smission is to help secondary studentswith academic
and social problems to create a better future for themselves by
developing their life skills such as confidence, leadership, and
communication through personal development programmes
and mentoring. During the year, the programme focuses on 4
schools in Klang, Selangor and 1 school in Kelantan namely,
SMK Raja Lumu, SMK Pandamaran Jaya, SMK Telok Gadong
and SMK Kampung Jawa and SMK Laloh, Kuala Krai.
