– Building a better planet by advancing the world’s technology while employing a socially responsible business framework.

As a leading technology company, Keysight’s vision is to build a better planet by advancing the world’s technology while employing a socially-responsible business framework.

We employ sustainable practices throughout our product lifecycle, ensure our operations maximize the value of limited environmental resources, enable innovations for a sustainable future, and seek to positively impact the communities in which we operate.

In Malaysia, we make progress towards these CSR goals. Additionally, in 2021, we also continued to channel efforts towards safeguarding the lives and livelihoods of the community impacted by the on-going pandemic.

• The Keysight On-site Vaccination Center, set up on company premises in support of the government’s Program Imunisasi Industri Covid-19 Kerjasama AwamSwasta (PIKAS).

• Over RM1Million contributed over 18 months to help the community, providing:
  • much needed medical supplies and equipment like test kits and oxygen concentrators to the Ministry of Health, hospitals, community clinics, and at-risk communities for the treatment and prevention of the disease;

• Continuing education outreach for primary-to-tertiary Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education, through online workshops, mentorship programs and university engagements.

Overall, Keysight’s CSR efforts are well-aligned with and touch upon all 17 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). We remain steadfast in our commitment to our CSR vision.

– We transform the communities where our team members live and work through our philanthropy and people.

At Micron, we transform the communities where our team members live and work through our philanthropy and people. Our grants, programs, and volunteers focus on promoting human potential through STEM education, basic human needs and equitable opportunities.

With the unprecedented challenges of 2020, Micron Malaysia partnered with AMCHAM to rapidly scaled our community investment, delivering RM2.4 million COVID-19 relief via seven local NGOs to help frontline workers, hospitals, charitable homes, and underprivileged families in Johor and Penang.

The Micron COVID-19 relief continues till today, directly assisting 2,000 families suffering from the prolonged lockdowns. We supported the Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association (MSIA)’s laptop donation drive to ensure students are able to attend school virtually.

Micron Malaysia also spearheaded the Public-Private Partnership COVID-19 Industry Immunization Program (PIKAS) with a network of 21 other manufacturing companies in the Batu Kawan vicinity to ensure the vaccines were administered safely with minimal disruption to business. 16,000 essential economic frontliners in the tech manufacturing sector, including over 4,000 Micron team members and contractors, have been vaccinated under the program.

– Bersama Malaysia: Our commitment to empower the nation’s people with skills for an inclusive digital economy.

At Microsoft, we’re committed to empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. Since establishing our footprint in Malaysia nearly 3 decades ago, we have actively partnered with the nation to not only support the growth of the nation’s technological infrastructure, but to also groom Malaysian talent and equip them with the skills needed to thrive in the digital future.

Not long after Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, Microsoft made a global commitment to bring digital skills to 25 million people worldwide via the Global Skills Initiative (GSI) as a means of supporting inclusive economic recovery. A year later, over 30 million people in 249 countries and territories have successfully gained access to digital skills through the GSI campaign, of which over 110,000 of them are from Malaysia.

Early in 2021, we unveiled our Bersama Malaysia initiative, marking a significant commitment to empowering Malaysia’s inclusive digital economy and advancing the nation’s digital transformation across the private and public sectors. In addition to establishing our first datacenter region in the country, we also made a commitment to upskill 1 million Malaysians by the end of 2023 to ensure all Malaysians have an opportunity to benefit from the wave of transformation currently taking place.

While the task of upskilling 1 million Malaysians is no simple feat, we are confident that by collaborating with our partners from both the public and private sectors, we will be able to realize this commitment. Thus far, Microsoft is partnered with the Ministry of Human Resources through the Human Resource Development Corp and Social Security Organization, TalentCorp Malaysia, MAMPU, Grab Malaysia and several universities to upskill people of different education levels and backgrounds. We are also working closely with local NGOs such as Biji-Biji Enterprise, to ensure we reach all Malaysians, including people living with disabilities and underserved communities.

As more Malaysians are equipped with digital skills and are better prepared to participate in the workforce of the future, the nation’s journey towards economic recovery will undoubtedly be accelerated. While digital transformation is important, no transformation journey is complete without skilled people leading the way. A skilled workforce is crucial in helping pivot the nation towards success in the regional digital economy, enhancing the quality and standard of living for Malaysians as a whole.

Together, we stand with Malaysia, to advance together towards an inclusive digital future.

Joy Schools is Mondelēz International’s adopt-a-school programme that empowers school children to make positive changes towards improving their overall wellbeing. Joy Schools addresses the lack of healthy eating habits through a collaborative community partnership platform with the Ministry of Education, schools, parents and non-governmental organisations across three core pillars:

• Access to Fresh Food – pioneering a Garden-to-Table initiative within the school compounds for students to grow fresh produce comprising herbs, vegetables, and fruits that are served as main ingredients in school canteen dishes.
• Nutrition Education – creating nutrition awareness by instilling the importance of healthy eating habits and making balanced food choices through funfilled discussions and hands-on experiences among students.
• Active Play – advocating active play by converting classrooms into vibrant and interactive spaces, build upcycle playground, in order to promote physical engagement and collaborative learning among students.

Mondelēz is set on transforming the lives of more than 1.5 million children across 18 countries with this threepronged approach to well-being. The Joy Schools program was first established in 2011 in the Philippines, and in Malaysia in 2015.
