FGV Annual Report 2014

Health Yayasan Felda’s haemodialysis centre in Anjung Felda at Jalan Maktab, Kuala Lumpur was opened in 1999 and today has 23 dialysis machines providing treatment to 120 patients. Patients pay a minimal fee of RM50 per treatment, which is very affordable compared to private clinics. However, most patients are sponsored by the Social Security Organisation (SOCSO), Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan, Lembaga Zakat Selangor (LZS) and FELDA. Yayasan Felda runs the Sihat Felda and Kami Prihatin programmes through which recognised physicians conduct free health and breast cancer screenings, as well as eye examinations for rural folks. Last year, 13,995 people in 12 locations benefitted from the general health screenings. In addition, six breast cancer screenings were held which attracted 1,782 participants, whilst 17,160 individuals from the communities at 11 locations had undergone eye examinations. At these events, free medication, spectacles, haircuts and clothes were extended to the participants. Our subsidiaries Delima Oil Products Sdn Bhd and MSM Holdings Berhad also sponsored Saji cooking oil and Prai sugar, respectively. Complementing Sihat Felda and Kami Prihatin, a new health initiative was launched in May 2014, targeting employees and Felda settlers. The programme, called Kospen, is run in collaboration with the Ministry of Health to address non- communicable diseases (NCDs) including diabetes, heart and kidney diseases. Under this programme “volunteer health heroes” are appointed in FGV and Felda settlements to motivate employees and settlers on adopting a healthier lifestyle. Another new initiative, Programme Bakti Nurani 1Muafakat (BN1M), was launched by Yayasan Felda in July 2014, in collaboration with Agenda 1Malaysia and Biro Bakti Nurani 1Muafakat. Under this programme, KYF student volunteers participated in 10 communal work activities at mosques, surau (prayer halls) and cemeteries. Social Welfare In today’s challenging economic environment, our social responsibilities are more relevant than ever. We increasingly involve our employees to reinforce our ties with the communities. On 19 September 2014, the Centre of Excellence Department (COE) of Group Human Resources, in collaboration with Pertiwi Soup Kitchen, with some 50 FGV employees prepared 600 hotdogs at the Menara Felda cafeteria. The food was distributed to about 500 homeless person on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and the Pudu area in Kuala Lumpur. FGV employees donated good condition used clothes and distributed food items sponsored by Delima Oil Products Sdn Bhd and Felda Wellness Corporation. When the floods hit the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia in December 2013, a comprehensive effort to assist the victims, including FGV Group employees, was carried out in stages in the following months. FGV donated RM50,000 to the state of Pahang and RM15,000 worth of food essentials to victims in Pekan, Pahang and Kemaman, Terengganu. In addition, Group Corporate Communications collected RM11,600 from employees at FGV Headquarters, a sum that was matched by the Company. In tandem with the above initiatives, used clothes were donated to the Red Crescent Society along with RM5,000, whilst Mercy Malaysia received a contribution of RM5,000. Simultaneously, electrical items, gift vouchers and food items were distributed to about 100 FGV employees who were affected. In December 2014, the country experienced one of the worst floods. More than 6,200 FGV employees and surrounding residents were made victims. FGV mobilised its support personnel and assets to provide on-site assistance to all affected communities, easing their burden. In the first phase, relief was provided in the form of food supplies and daily necessities. In Felda Global Ventures Holdings Berhad pg 100 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
