Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Plays an Increasingly Important Role in the Malaysian
Business Arena, and KFC Holdings (Malaysia) Bhd (KFCH) has made it an Integral Part of the
Groups Culture
As part of the Groups commitment to contributing to the wellbeing of the communities in which
it operates, KFCH embraces its responsibility through extensive activities within the region. The
Group also never loses sight of the fact that each decision has an impact on both employees
and customers.
The Group takes CSR very much to heart. As a corporation, KFCH realizes the impact it makes
within its community and the vital role in sharing and promoting its CSR principles. As KFCH
takes action to strengthen communities, develop employees potential, offer greater
opportunities for employment and education, as well as preserve the environment, it is with the
belief that the benefits extend to everyone involved.
To the community.
KFCH has always striven to build strong relationships with the communities in which it operates,
and the CSR initiatives in this area highlight the Groups dedication. In certain cases, aid takes
the form of purely philanthropic donations to organisations such as the Kiwanis Down Syndrome
Foundation, the Cancerlink Foundation, Rumah KFC Bakti Semantan, and the Kuala Lumpur
Society of the Deaf, now known as the Malaysian Federation of the Deaf. On other occasions,
the Group joins community members by sponsoring and participating in a variety of events and
activities.
KFCs Projek Penyayang, one of the Groups most rewarding and beneficial initiatives, is now in
its 18th year. Organised four times a year, usually in conjunction with festive seasons, this
programme sees the distribution of free meals to various charity homes. In 2011, 150 homes
with over 12,000 less fortunate residents throughout Malaysia benefited from this programme.
By the end of the year, over 48,000 KFC meals were shared.
To the marketplace
Halal Initiatives
One of the most essential aspects of the Groups continued success is its insistence upon strict
halal compliance. Customers rely upon all KFCH products and procedures adhering to halal
requirements, and employees are devoted to maintaining the most rigorous standards.
The Halal Food Standards Realisation (HAFSTAR) programme was developed by the Halal
Development Corporation (HDC) and the Department of Standards (SIRIM) to promote
Malaysian halal standards. KFCH is an active participant in the programmes events which
occur all over Malaysia and provide a forum for discussion and education.
In April 2011, KFCH set up an exhibitors booth at the Malaysian International Halal Showcase
(MIHAS), Malaysias largest food and beverage exhibition. The fair drew over 16,000 people
and gave the Group an excellent opportunity to share its halal-certified foods and services with
an international audience
In the workplace
KFCH is currently one of the largest employers in the food sector industry in the region, with a
team of over 24,000. The Group acknowledges the substantial role personnel have played in its
success, and to reward the hard work and fuel the personal and professional development of its
staff, various events are organised throughout the year. The Group believes that each individual
plays an important role in contributing to the success of the company. To reward its staff for their
dedication, commitment and hard work, various activities were organised.
To the environment
KFCH is concerned with the impact that its operations have upon the environment. The Group
consistently aims to find ways to deploy ecologically sound practices whilst maintaining its high
levels of product quality and shareholder value.
