As we navigate through the global COVID-19 pandemic which has led to staggering impact on daily lives and major interruptions to businesses, PGB stands firm in upholding its commitment to ensure the wellbeing of our people followed by the safe and optimal operation of our businesses across the value chain.
Programme
Each year, in conjunction with major celebrations in Malaysia, PGB extends necessities aimed at improving the communities’ well-being. The intent of the Sentuhan Kasih Festive programme is to foster a memorable celebration for the less fortunate during the festive seasons to incite joy, love and care.
The Sentuhan Kasih PETRONAS programme is part of the organisation’s Community Well-being and Development focus area, initiated to coincide with major festive celebrations in Malaysia. It provides an avenue for PGB and Yayasan PETRONAS to work with communities to provide for their basic needs and well-being. The programme is also in line with the PETRONAS Sustainability Agenda and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Effort
As a responsible corporate citizen, PGB proactively extended assistance to the State Department of Environment and other agencies who carried out works to clean up oil spill stretching two kilometres along Pantai Cermin and Pantai Tanjung Biru, Port Dickson. Volunteers from RGTSU together with neighbouring business operations in Melaka were mobilised to the incident area for the cleaning effort, besides providing Personal Protective Equipments (PPE), rubber gloves, cleaning gears and mineral water.
Programme
To conserve the Johor River’s ecosystem with smart partnership of corporate companies, stakeholders, non-government organisation and local community, Sayangi Sungai Latoh programmed is an effort initiated by PGB to educate local community towards mangrove ecology sustainability and river conservation.
Although COVID-19 restricted community activities to be conducted, our partner for Sayangi Sungai Latoh programme, Malaysia Nature Society (MNS) was consistently keeping track of mangrove plants growth in the designated area. In January, 2,000 additional plants were successfully planted, adding up to the sum of 9,320 trees planted since the inception of this programme.
As the conditions around the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve, PGB is committed to do our part in supporting efforts by PETRONAS and the Malaysian Government. While we continue to contribute to the well-being of community around us, trying our level best to share the spirit of joy and happiness, we ourselves have learned the meaning of hope, courage, and never-to-give-up.
