Bursa Malaysia Community Investment (CI) Guidelines

Community investment at Bursa Malaysia refers to how our invested or donated money, time, products, services, influence, management knowledge and other resources make a positive contribution to deserving local communities. Community investment at Bursa Malaysia will include cash and donations in-kind to organisations, corporate incentives for employee contribution and employee volunteer programs. CI is a component of CSR and does not constitute CSR in its entirety at Bursa Malaysia.

This guideline will form the basis of Bursa Malaysia’s CI Guidelines to ensure CI is focussed, and addresses key needs within the society, with an aim towards sustainable development. Contributions, as far as possible, should have direct benefit to the recipients. Indirect contributions for eg. paying for advertisement spaces in publications, purchasing dinner tables at fund raising charity dinners, and sponsorship packages are not encouraged.

The table below outlines an issue matrix for community investment and determination of priorities.
