SUSTAINABILITY

OUR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY JOURNEY

SUPPORTING THE SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
OF THE UMMAH

To create change, the forging of corporate partnership paves
an optimum way forward. EXIM Bank collaborates with Yayasan
Pembangunan Ekonomi Islam Malaysia (“YaPEIM”) towards
supporting the socioeconomic development of the Muslim
community in Malaysia. During the year, EXIM Bank provided
a fund contribution of RM60,000 to YaPEIM, benefitting a total
of 600 beneficiaries through the implementation of the YaPEIM
Food Bank Programme in several locations in the states of
Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Perak.

YaPEIM was established by the Government of Malaysia in
1976 and restructured on 20 July 1984. Today, the Prime Minister of
Malaysia is the Patron of YaPEIM and the foundation is placed under
the supervision of the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department,
who is responsible for Islamic Religious Affairs.

EMPOWERING YOUTH VIA THE IMPIAN
REMAJA PROJECT

The Impian Remaja Project is a collaboration between
the Graduate School of Business, Universiti Kebangsaan
Malaysia (“UKM”) and Genius Remaja, a government
body under the Ministry of Education. This project
is aimed at championing youth between the ages of
13 to 19, from Project Perumahan Rakyat (“PPR”)
communities and from other distressed urban areas,
through skills and leadership development activities.
The project encourages society to assist disadvantaged
youth to be integrated into the larger society and
given equal access to education. Among the objectives
of this programme are to include character building
activities based on the youths’ individual strengths and
capability, as well as to inculcate a culture of shared
nation building among society. Up till October 2021,
the project had raised RM188.5 thousand, serving
6,798 youth in four PPR communities

As one of the 15 corporate sponsors of the project,
EXIM Bank contributed RM25,000 in 2021, and is
committed to provide more towards the programme.
