Kuala Lumpur, 24 August 2011 – Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Berhad (KFH Malaysia), the first foreign Islamic bank in the country, launched its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) flagship today. During the occasion, the Bank unveiled its new CSR logo, ‘Creating Footsteps,’ which aligns the Bank’s best experiences in CSR.
Commenting on the milestone development, KFH Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, Jamelah Jamaluddin said, “We have inherited the spirit and conviction from our Parent in Kuwait which has continued to reaffirm the Bank’s social role and apply the notion of social responsibility through various means and occasions, both in Kuwait and countries with its international presence. The new CSR flagship signifies our commitment to make both small and giant steps towards the creation of a better society.”
KFH Malaysia will undertake programmes and activities which are in line with the four quadrants as prescribed by Bursa Malaysia CSR Framework. These consist of Marketplace, Community, Workplace and Environment. The overarching principle of these categories is the Islamic value, in line with the Bank’s stature as an Islamic financial institution. This value sees KFH Malaysia at the forefront in spreading the virtues and knowledge of Islam in the areas where it operates.
“We intend for all our efforts and initiatives to pave the ways for others to emulate and copy to help reconcile the economic, social and environmental ambitions for the country,” concluded Jamelah.
The ceremony took place at a Berbuka Puasa event where KFH Malaysia hosted 90 underprivileged children from Pusat Jagaan Siraman Kasih Rawang and Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim Islam Daerah Sabak Bernam. Jamelah handed over gifts and packets of money to the children for Hari Raya. 20 employees from the Bank were also present to attend to the young guests.
