In November 2017, 40 GCB Cocoa employees participated in the Johor Port Shipping and Forwarding Association Charity Run under the GCB Cocoa company banner.
The proceeds of the run went to 2 local charities for children: Pertubuhan Kebajikan Fitrah Qaseh, a shelter home that houses about 40 abused and homeless children; and Persatuan Kebajikan Orang Kurang Upaya Xi Le Er, a charity home taking care of children below the age of 18 with multiple disabilities, such as visual impairment, cerebral palsy, autism and down syndrome, providing the children with therapy, classroom lessons, and supporting their medical needs.
At GCB Cocoa, we believe that it is important to inculcate a strong volunteerism spirit in our employees and we actively encourage all our staff to engage their time and resources to volunteer in activities that they are passionate about. We will continue to encourage employees to take part in local community and charity events together to support a thriving local community.
