HSBC Cleaning Campaign At Pusat Ehsan
By Aemy Azlena

Bandar Seri Begawan - Twenty five HSBC staff members of 'HSBC Cares' showed their willingness to work together in a cleaning campaign at Pusat Ehsan in Kampong Bengkurong.

The campaign was one of the bank's corporate responsibility projects held in conjunction with the bank's 60th anniversary celebration, which also serves to highlight its overall commitment and continuous support for the country's progress.

The team was led by Jennifer Chan of Financial Control Department in cleaning, washing, weeding, mowing and painting the centre.

Upon their arrival at the centre, they were greeted by Pusat Ehsan's Head of Administration, Hj Abd Hamid bin Ma' aruf.

Hj Abd Hamid also expressed his appreciation to the volunteers who set aside their own free time to help beautify and improve the conditions around the centre.

According to Jennifer Chan: "It's always good to know that as individuals and as part of a leading global financial services organisation, we can actually make a difference to the community and the people around us through projects such as this cleaning and beautifying campaign.

"A positive aspect off our HSBC Cares programme is that any staff member can initiate, volunteer and push through a corporate responsibility initiative, whether the focus is on education, the environment or the community. "Knowing that, it gives us a greater sense of commitment, belonging and empowerment.

"This is also the reason why our corporate responsibility projects always receive an overwhelming response from staff volunteers, despite the fact that most of these activities take place outside of working hours," she added.

HSBC's corporate responsibility programme is led and supported by the Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Martin, and Hjh Normah Ismail as the Committee Chairperson.

Staff volunteers under 'HSBC Cares' have over the past few years gained a reputation in the Sultanate as being active drivers and participants in many community and environmentally related initiatives. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
