Community | MISC Group

Overview

In support of our mission ‘to create a positive difference to the lives of communities’, our primary focus on value creation for the wider community is through education, with an emphasis on maritime education.

Through investment in our maritime training and education facility, the Malaysian Maritime Academy, known as ALAM (also referred to as ‘the Academy’) and our Cadet Sponsorship Programme, we fulfil our responsibilities and contribute towards the growth of the local and regional maritime industry by providing opportunities to deserving students in the field of maritime education as well as develop a sustainable pipeline of qualified seafaring professionals for the industry.

Apart from that, MISC has established a flagship Community Investment programme that aims to facilitate the development of leadership and social entrepreneurial aptitude within the younger generation. The programme supports the enhancement of their skills and mindset in four key areas to facilitate them in realising their full potential which comprises of:

Communication
Creative Thinking & Problem Solving
Collaboration & Teamwork
Global Citizenship

Approach

Apart from our investment in maritime education with ALAM as well as our Community Investment Programme and other initiatives, we also extend our support to various other causes through our subsidiaries, where their own Community Investment programmes are championed independently with guidance from the Group.

Wherever possible, the Group also collaborates with its subsidiaries on projects to maximise their benefit and impact to the local community. All of our Community Investment programmes are focused in regions within Malaysia, Singapore, United Kingdom and United States due to the locality of our offices and employees.

We also support the global maritime community through the collaborations and sharing of resources with regulatory authorities and strategic partners. These efforts underpin our commitment to investing in the wider community, be it with local or industry stakeholders.

Further information on our Community Investment programmes is disclosed in our Annual Report 2019.
