IOI Corporation Berhad (IOI) was recognised as the Company of the Year (Best in Green, Education and Social Initiatives) under the Conglomerate – Plantation category at the Sustainability and CSR Malaysia Awards 2023, which was held in Kuala Lumpur on 26 July 2023.
The award was given in recognition of IOI’s aspiration to drive positive socio-economic development, biodiversity and wildlife protection, as well as our commitment to share prosperity with the community through our corporate social responsibility (CSR) and philanthropic programmes that were undertaken by our Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng.
The annual event that recognises and celebrates outstanding CSR achievements of inspiring corporations for their heartwarming and impactful initiatives, is jointly organised by the CSR Malaysia publication and the Malaysian Welfare Society for Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility. It has the full support of the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry.
“We are truly honoured to receive this acknowledgement. We are driven by the belief that IOI has a fundamental responsibility to empower our communities, especially the marginalised groups, and preserve the environment. This award certainly motivates us to continue pushing boundaries and embracing innovation in pursuing more meaningful CSR initiatives towards a sustainable future for all,” said Dr Surina.
