Enriching Communities
GAB remains committed to enriching the
communities that reside where we operate from
to cultivate long term relations. Our community
investment activities are spearheaded by the
GAB Foundation. Our community investment
activities revolve around the Foundation’s
three pillars of environmental conservation,
educational support and community
enrichment. We monitor our progress in these
areas carefully and report this regularly, publicly
and transparently to our stakeholders.
Environment
The flagship initiative under this pillar is the
Working Actively Through Education and
Rehabilitation (W.A.T.E.R) Project.
We continued our involvement in Perak
in partnership with Global Environment
Centre (GEC), with the support of Perak
local authorities. The initiative replicates the
W.A.T.E.R Project initiative at Sungei Way,
a tributary of Sungai Penchala in Selangor.
Starting June 2012, we extended our
W.A.T.E.R Project initiative to three tributaries of
Sungai Kinta – Sungai Senam, Sungai Buntong
and Sungai Kledang - in Perak.
Sungei Way as at April 2014 - water quality maintained at Class III since 2010.
