At NXP Malaysia, we are committed to improving people’s lives by enabling a better, safer, more secure, and sustainable world that is socially and environmentally advanced.
In fact, we have moved up in the chain of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on how we spent our income back to society, thereafter to adopt the Social Responsibility (SR) per EICC/RBA initiative on how we make our income, and thereafter to inclusive of NXP’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) as key pillars to ensure progress and accountability to our environment, social and governance (ESG) mission.
All these makes sense because it increases customer retention, increase employee engagement, improve positive brand imaging, attract talent, attract investments and is a prominent part of our strategy and goal setting.
Our mission and strategy is dedicated to continuous improvement by collaboration with all stakeholders in order to encompass CSR, SR and ESG as a way to drive positive change and sustainable growth in our quest on engaging to protect and respect human life and the environment we live in – Malaysia.
Our CSR philosophy hinges on protection of our team members, meet customer commitments, and give back to the communities in which we live and work as we continue to advance our world. We remain steadfast in our commitment to sustainability in everything we do and making measurable year–on–year progress.
Even in the face of many external challenges such as COVID–19 pandemic, fluctuation in semiconductor demand, rising cost and other calamities in an unprecedented manner, NXP Malaysia still continues to support CSR activities with winning spirit.
We have Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) program as key pillars to a holistic encompassment of reducing carbon footprints, water efficiency, diversity, equality & inclusion, health & safety wellbeing, employee engagement, ethical & economic responsibility and corporate governance, volunteering, and improve labor policies and human rights.
We have programs such as Blood Donation, Water Recycling, Collaboration with Monash University, University Malaya and other top universities by sponsorship and providing live projects for final year students and transfer skills to public, collaboration with Yayasan Basmi Kemiskinan (YBK) in providing job opportunities, providing assistance such as foods and other needs for employees and extended families affected by flood, harmonizing equality of foreign migrant workers with locals, facilitate NXP Malaysia site as PIKAS Vaccination Centre for 20 FTZ Companies, Supports vaccination registration for 17,000 Mentari Court residents .We also made donations of ventilators, covid related protection necessities to hospitals under Ministry of Health, Malaysia.
– We believe in the tenets of a circular economy and are adopting these principles across PALCO to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials and regenerate nature.
CSR is a crucial part of PALCO’s operations locally, and internationally. Our company prides itself on helping support the community and the environment. The industry that we operate in, reverse logistics, places an emphasis on sustainability and the circular economy.
A great example of PALCO’s “green initiative” is our paper replacement program. Did you know that it takes 1 tree to make 16.67 reams of paper? We closely track how many reams of paper that our company consumes inside of a calendar year. At the end of the year, all this paper is added up and we made a donation to the U.S. based non-profit Arbor Day Foundation. The Arbor Day Foundation has planted more than 350 million trees throughout the world. Last year we donated 85 trees to replace the paper we used in our offices in 2021! We will be continuously participating in this program for the foreseeable future.
In our U.S. office, we recently held a food/supply drive for two different non-profit organizations in the city. These drives benefited local animals that are in need of adoption, and a local food bank that provides food to people in need. We also continuously ask all of our employees to participate in their own individual volunteering initiatives. Employees can pick an organization that they are passionate about supporting.
– Increase nutritious food access for 50 million people by 2030, and Invest $100 million through 2030 as part of the Zero Hunger Pledge.
As one of the world’s largest food and beverage companies, we’re passionate about investing PepsiCo’s resources to realize zero hunger in our communities across the globe as part of our pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) journey. As the COVID-19 pandemic reduced access to food and other essential goods for communities around the world, PepsiCo and The PepsiCo Foundation invested more than $71 million globally and worked with over 250 partners to bring food and other vital resources to the most affected communities.
- CONTINUING TO GIVE BACK TO COMMUNITIES where we operate: As part of this effort in Malaysia since 2020, PepsiCo (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd through its distributor DKSH continues to donate shelf-stable foods to The Lost Food Project (TLFP). TLFP works to redistribute food industry surplus to up to 60 charities as well as numerous communities, rescuing good food from going to waste and onto the plates of those in need.
REALIZING A FOOD-SECURE WORLD FOR ALL
In November 2021, we announced the global expansion of #FoodforGood, PepsiCo’s commitment to advance food security through collaboration in communities where we live and work. Through Food for Good, we’ve reached millions of people over the years and now we’re taking our commitment to a new level. By 2030, we aim to increase nutritious food access for 50 million people as part of pep+ and will aim to invest $100 million as part of the Zero Hunger Pledge. But we can’t do it alone, it will take all our combined efforts to create a world where everyone always has access to nutritious food.
FOOD FOR GOOD’S IMPACT: PepsiCo has delivered more than 245 million meals to more than 41 million people across the world (meals tracked since 2009 and beneficiaries tracked since 2016) and has partnered with more than 60 nonprofits worldwide to ensure we are implementing local solutions that meet the unique challenges of each community. Moving forward, Food for Good will continue to invest in our historical food security programs, as well as invest in new sustainable, long-term solutions to realize zero hunger.

– Powering Community Outreach Campaign with key partners impacting > 2 million people via digit
Leading the charge to achieve the objectives outlined by the Malaysian Government under the 2020-2030 National Health Agenda, Pfizer stands at the vanguard by promoting various CSR projects throughout 2022, involving partnerships with government organizations, NGOs, PAGs, tele-health associations and various other societies.
Whilst maintaining the 24-year Heritage Community Outreach Project, R.E.A.C.H (Rendering Education and Action for Community Health), Pfizer embarked on the H.E.R.OES 1.0 and 2.0 Projects in partnership with University Malaya Community Engagement Centre (UMCARES) where they successfully impacted nearly 1,000 secondary school students on the effects of bullying, the importance of safeguarding mental health and introducing anti-smoking Generation End Game. These initiatives revealed that youths are more inclined to prioritize their mental health when given access to such information, thus reducing stigma and taboo.
The B40 Urban Community Resilient Project saw Pfizer enriching its outreach program to pilot a community development program for the urban poor through the new partnership with University for Society (U4S) consisting of UMCARES, International Islamic University Malaysia and University Technology MARA. Each program held under the project demonstrated different objectives, —e.g., tackling women’s mental health issues, exposing youths to potential career pathways and overall community economic sustenance.
Moving forward, Pfizer expands its newly CSR Core Activity, CAC (Clean, Act Fast, Care) stemming from Disease Awareness Campaigns and Hand Hygiene Stations. The ACT FAST & RED CAMPAIGN featuring Malaysian Red Crescent Society is currently ongoing nationwide to tackle the disproportionate vaccination rate and increase community awareness by urging everyone to #ACTFAST should symptoms develop. The current digital based U4S Mental Health and Rare Disease Awareness Campaign can reach 1.6 million people, whereas the National Youth Council collaboration on ‘Youth Without Smoking’ is able to reach 2 million people.
Building the pathway to a better future for the less fortunate brings great satisfaction and joy for all involved. Pfizer hopes to continue its efforts in carrying out the responsibility as a key player in the health industry by reaching out to all segments of society, and further cementing our commitment towards the nation’s development.
– With various NGOs, PMM is working to install systematic infrastructure that will alleviate cellulose acetate, fine paper and ash residue from being littered in the environment and water sources.
In PMM, sustainability and CSR is more than just minimizing negative externalities, but it is also about long-term value creation together with innovation and growth. Our business impact is more than just what our business does and what we are looking to achieve. We need to consider the impact on societies and the environment. For example we’ve partnered with Reef Check Malaysia to install around 200 cigarette butt canisters to collect cigarette litter. This is just the beginning. I am sure that this is a positive step forward in our sustainability efforts as this results in significant amounts of cellulose acetate, fine paper, and smoke residue averted from the environment and water sources.
We are pleased to announce that PMM has recently launched its first Sustainability Report 2021 – Delivering A Smoke-Free Future. This report shows how much Malaysia has leaped forward under our sustainability and CSR umbrella, and I am extremely proud of the progress we have made thus far. While we have come a long way in just a few years, there’s still plenty of work that we should be doing in order to reach our end goals of developing better alternatives for adult smokers, accelerating the decline of smoking, and making cigarettes obsolete.
