The GAB Foundation
To ensure that our investment in communities
could be structured and sustained for long-term
impact, we established the GAB Foundation in 2007.
The Foundation functions as a spearhead for our
community initiatives and aims to create an impact on
the lives of people around us, reflecting our corporate
values of striving for excellence, acting with integrity
and having a genuine respect for people, society and
its diversity.
The Trustees of the Foundation are the GAB Chairman,
Managing Director and three independent Trustees.
The GAB Foundation emphasises engagement
with partners who share common goals and who
can contribute skills and expertise. Federal and
State Government departments have been stalwart
supporters, while civil society partners from the local
communities and NGOs have been instrumental in
sharing their providing invaluable information and
technical advice.
Our efforts this year was awarded with the prestigious
StarBiz-ICRM Award in the Community Category.
The GAB Foundation is constantly looking at more
avenues to increase the positive impacts of our
projects. While we work with specific communities in
each of our programmes, the ultimate aim is to make
a difference to the Malaysian community as a whole,
by setting an example and inspiring others to make a
difference. Our focus over the coming years will be to
encourage participation from employees, distributors,
trade outlets and other stakeholders.
The Foundation’s focus is structured around three
pillars: Environmental Conservation, Education and
Community. Our main activity under the environment
pillar has been the river rehabilitation programme
(see pages 36-39).
