Sunway is committed towards the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda, which is to pursue sustainable development that leaves no one behind. Our initiatives which are focused on the environment, economic and social are undertaken under the #sunwayforgood banner.

One of our key focus areas for our social initiatives since our adoption of the Goals is to lend aid to urban families and individuals from B40 backgrounds, as well as underserved groups such as youths with different learning abilities, as they are the most vulnerable to economic, environmental, and social shocks.

Various initiatives that we have undertaken are distribution of packaged nutritious food, distribution of financial and grocery packages during festive seasons, distribution of back-to-school supplies to alleviate the financial burden of families, as well as distribution of food to urban poor – mostly focused to ease the cost of living.

Sunway’s commitment to the second UNSDG, Zero Hunger, is defined through its determination to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. In June last year, Sunway launched the #zerofoodwastage initiative in collaboration with Kechara Soup Kitchen which acts to fight against food wastage by redistributing food to the needy.

Another initiative by Sunway to feed the needy is its Rise Against Hunger campaign. For the past five years, Sunway’s employees have packed more than one million nutrition-dense, dehydrated meals for underserved communities in Malaysia, Timor Leste and Cambodia. The initiative has since fed thousands of families in these countries. In August 2018, 1,750 Sunway employees from Ipoh, Penang, the Klang Valley and Johor Baru volunteered to prepare 500,000 meals for impoverished families in these countries.

Sunway recognizes the importance of receiving quality education from a young age. Last month, it launched its back-to-school programme, aimed at helping more than 3,700 underserved students across the nation. These beneficiaries are students who are from B40 families, at risk, stateless or from orphanages. The students come from 11 schools in Johor, seven schools in Penang, three schools in Selangor and 38 schools in Perak.
