Community investment (CI) is a component of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and refers
to how a company’s invested or donated money, time, products, services, influence, management
knowledge and other resources makes a positive contribution to deserving local communities. CI aims
to forming significant long-term value for both the company and the community.
Bursa Malaysia views CI as a long-term effort to creating meaningful impact for the
communities surrounding us. Our CI efforts aim to:
improve the quality of life through enhanced education for the young;
provide opportunities for the underprivileged;
encourage employee volunteerism; and
generate sustainable acceptance and appreciation by communities
Via our charitable foundation arm, Yayasan Bursa Malaysia, our main community investment
activities include:
