PPB Group recognises that societal progress is achieved not only through economic growth but also by creating a lasting positive impact on the local communities and uplifting those in need. PPB’s efforts are centred across four main pillars: community development; environment; education; and arts, culture & heritage.
The Group provides in-kind contribution, tailored to the needs of the communities and beneficiaries it serves. A separate allocation is set aside for disaster preparedness and relief for victims of natural disasters, such as floods. In addition to the annual contribution, PPB has established two endowment funds totalling RM30 million for education support.
Community development
We uplift underserved groups including the urban poor, Orang Asli, differently abled persons and single mothers through upskilling, community empowerment, medical aid, food support and essential needs assistance.
Education
We invest in education to support children’s development and protect their rights. Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty.
ENVIRONMENT & CONSERVATION
Biodiversity and the preservation of natural ecosystems have been newly identified as a material topic for the Group. Our environmental initiatives aim to support both the local communities and the ecosystems they depend on, promoting responsible resource management, conservation efforts and eco-friendly practices.
ARTS, CULTURE & HERITAGE
We are committed to preserving local arts, culture and heritage, especially around Penang’s historic sites where many of our Group operations are located.
