Our Social Responsibility

At Combine Will, Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) is an integral component of our business strategy. In FY2024, we enhanced our CSR initiatives to foster a more inclusive, sustainable, and responsible business environment. This section highlights our key CSR achievements, strategic approaches, and future commitments, underscoring our contributions to the well-being of our employees, communities, and the environment.

COMMITMENT TO EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING

At Combine Will, we recognise that employee well-being extends beyond the workplace. Through initiatives such as our Family Friendly Factories (“FFF”) and educational support programmes, we strive to create a nurturing environment for both our employees and their families.

Supporting Employees and Their Families

Our FFF initiative continues to promote a supportive work-life balance by providing childcare support for employees while they work. During the summer holidays, we facilitated family reunions to reinforce strong familial bonds. In 2024, the programme welcomed children, aged between 6 and 11 from over 70 frontline workers families in Guangxi and Heyuan providing them educational, recreational, and cultural activities over a month-long period.

Family Fun Day

Building on our FFF initiative, our annual Family Fun Day provides employees with a meaningful opportunity to spend quality time with their children. To ensure inclusivity, we strive to accommodate as many families as possible. This year’s event featured a special day out, including a meal at McDonald’s, an exclusive film screening, and thoughtfully curated gift packages. The initiative reinforced family connections and created lasting memories, reflecting our commitment to employee well-being.

Educational Scholarships for Employees’ Children

To ease the financial burden of rising education costs, we introduced an educational scholarship programme covering essential school-related expenses, including uniforms, textbooks, and lunch allowances. By funding education for the children of our employees, we contribute to their future achievements while providing parents with peace of mind.

SUPPORTING MATERNAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

Recognising the importance of maternal health, we remain committed to providing targeted support for our pregnant and breastfeeding employees.

New Mothers’ Seminar

In 2024, we organised a “New Mothers’ Seminar” led by an obstetrician-gynaecologist to equip new and expectant mothers with essential knowledge on pregnancy care, postpartum nutrition, infant and toddler care, as well as strategies for maintaining both physical and mental well-being. By empowering employees with these insights, we help them balance their professional responsibilities and family life.

STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES THROUGH ENGAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

At Combine Will, we recognise that corporate responsibility extends beyond business operations. In 2024, we launched targeted initiatives to support local communities by addressing basic needs, fostering inclusivity, and empowering youth.

Providing Clean Water to Communities

Access to clean water is a fundamental necessity. To address water scarcity in Karangmalang and Craken Villages in Indonesia, we constructed communal water tanks that provide a reliable source of safe water to households. These efforts have improved the daily life of residents, particularly during dry seasons, by alleviating water shortages.

Creating Inclusive Celebrations

Our commitment to inclusivity and community support was reflected in our Indonesia Independence Day celebration, where we hosted children from a special needs school. The event, filled with music, games, and creative activities, offered the children a joyful and memorable experience. Each child received treats and souvenirs, reinforcing our long-term dedication to their well-being.

Additionally, we contributed 20 million rupiah in cash to support the school’s operational expenses, including electricity, water bills, teachers’ salaries, facility upgrades, and enhanced education programs. Through this initiative, we strive to create a better learning environment and brighter opportunities for the students, ensuring sustainable support for their growth and development.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Recognising the importance of youth engagement, we took active steps to support young advocates and students:

  • We sponsored local youth organizations promoting green initiatives, empowering them to take an active role in environmental conservation.
  • We hosted students from ATMI School at our toy manufacturing facility, providing valuable industry insights into the industry. To further nurture future young talent, we awarded scholarships to two outstanding students, opening doors to greater opportunities.

Through these initiatives, Combine Will continues to make a lasting impact, empowering communities, children, and young leaders.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Green development remains a strategic priority for Combine Will. Our progress in greenhouse gas (“GHG”) inventory and management is detailed in the 2024 Sustainability Report.

Since 2021, we have been systematically tracking and reporting our carbon footprint by implementing specialized tools to monitor both direct and indirect CO2 emissions across all affiliated plants. Our carbon inventory activities adhere to internationally recognised standards, including ISO 14064, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (“GHG Protocol”), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) guidelines. Through in-depth data analysis, we aim to identify opportunities for emission reduction and drive progress towards carbon neutrality.

Beyond optimizing operations, we actively participate in market-based initiatives by purchasing green power from third-party electricity retailers. In 2024, we procured a total of 10,127 megawatt-hours of green power, which is expected to reduce approximately 5,434 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

Earth Day

To promote environmental awareness and creativity among employees, we organised an eco-printing workshop. Participants experimented with eco-printing techniques, using natural materials like flowers and leaves to create unique designs on fabric and tote bags. This engaging session not only deepened participants’ appreciation for nature but also encouraged them to integrate eco-friendly practices into their daily lives.

Conclusion

Looking ahead, we remain committed in enhancing our CSR strategies, embedding them deeper into our business operations. We are committed to maintain transparency and accountability, regularly reporting on our progress. By collaborating with stakeholders, we strive to achieve greater heights in our CSR endeavors, contributing to a more sustainable and prosperous future.
