As a caring and socially responsible company, the Group is committed to contributing to the communities it serves and creating long-term value for society. This commitment is outlined in our Social Investment Policy.
To understand the needs of the local communities in which we operate, we engage in ongoing conversations with local communities, non-governmental organisations and government authorities to identify and monitor community investment programmes.
Our community initiatives focus on three areas covering many of the social issues faced by the communities in which we operate.
In addition to providing financial support and in-kind contributions, we also encourage and support our employees to get involved in community and voluntary work in line with our Code of Conduct. The Towngas Volunteer Service Team and Towngas Customer Volunteer Team further extend our connections with the community by enabling our staff, their families and customers to become involved in meaningful community activities.
We also participate in lectures, seminars and conferences on topics such as sustainability, safety, climate change, water conservation and career development. Through these activities, we are able to share our management expertise with participants as well as our professional and technical knowledge. This, in turn, promotes awareness of these issues and encourages greater collaboration in addressing the environmental, social and governance challenges we face.
