Human Capital
People are a key pillar of growth. Only with strong and capable talent will we be able to propel the Company forward.
Towards this end, CRB is able to retain key talent despite the Movement Control Order (MCO) lockdown imposed on 18 Match 2020.
Along with CRB’s on-going talent development initiatives, the Company is geared towards cultivating a workforce that is fully engaged and aligned with the Company’s aspirations. Alongside this, the Company’s continuous recruitment programmes allow for the injection of new talent as we move forward to expand our pool of highly skilled employees.
Sustainability
Sustainability not only ensures the future of the Company, but it also allows us to grow in a responsible manner and contribute positively in social and environmental contexts. This is illustrated by our sustainability theme for FY2021, ‘Improving Today To Sustain Mother Earth’.
Demonstrating CRB’s commitment, this coming new Financial Year will see the Company uses more green materials in the business services and green processes in the Company’s daily operations.
The Company is also on the strong opinion to increase transparency in the Company’s reporting. In addition to that CRB’s sustainability priorities have been aligned in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Company is a signatory to the Global Compact adopting sustainable and socially responsible policies, and to report on these implementation annually.
Outlook
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted economies around the world. It is expected to have a prolonged impact on the global economy and the road to recovery will be a long journey. Many expected the economy will recover and rebound in Q2, 2021.
Without a doubt we do believe that the pandemic will take its toll in the local Malaysia economy and we are expecting a negative growth for the country in 2020. However with people getting more conscious of their health we are one of the industry among others that benefited from the crisis.
