Since 1998, Shell Malaysia has added a personal dimension to its programme of community care that is helping to progress a mind-set change in the way community giving is regarded. The practice of merely giving outright donations has evolved to emphasize personal involvement.
While the company provides small grants and loads of encouragement, the real contribution lies in the time and energy that staff, their family members, retirees and members of the community themselves willingly give, in support of a variety of causes under the banner of ‘We Care, We Share’.
With the full support of Shell, employees and contractors have been helping in many ways: like build homes for the less fortunate, run blood donation drives, take special needs children to self-development camps, trek to marginalised communities in the interior to offer clothing, medicines or household essentials and join communities in keeping beaches clean.
