Sustainability

Communities
Sime Darby creates shared value for society through economic growth and development in countries where the company has direct impact and where stakeholders may have an influence on operations. As part of the larger society, mutual growth is important in our journey to ensure the sustainability of our businesses.
Community Contributions and Development
As a responsible corporate steward, we believe in delivering sustainable futures to our stakeholders by supporting worthy social causes in the communities in which we operate. The Group encourages and supports local community initiatives led by its Divisions.
Across the 19 countries and territories where we operate, our commitment to inspire and drive positive impact happens in the communities where more than 20,000 of our employees and families reside. Thus, understanding local needs and finding solutions that address socio-economic issues and support regional growth and development is an investment in both our business and the community. Providing local job opportunities, skills, and education that improves living conditions, also supports the development of our talent pool.
