DIGITAL INCLUSION FOR COMMUNITIES IN UNDERSERVED AREAS
We do our part to address digital inclusion for communities in
underserved areas through the PI1Ms and WiFi sites in Malaysia. We
set up, operate and manage these sites with the PI1Ms, providing
digital literacy and more advanced ICT training, focusing on education
and development of new skillsets, so that they can become places for
collaborative learning for the community. To date, Maxis has 88 PI1Ms
and 777 WiFi sites under its care.
MAXIS SCHOLARSHIP FOR EXCELLENCE AWARDS (“MSEA”)
The MSEA programme which offers scholarship opportunities to all
Malaysians, awarded six scholarships to outstanding students in 2015
to pursue their undergraduate studies at top universities overseas.
Maxis scholars also go through a continuous engagement and
development programme to help prepare them for a successful career
with the Company upon graduation. To date, Maxis has invested RM52
million, benefitting 259 young Malaysians with world-class education.
GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
In 2015, Maxis celebrated the festive seasons by engaging with the
community through several activities.
1. Hari Raya: Working with Pertiwi Soup Kitchen and Kechara
Soup Kitchen, Maxis volunteers took to the streets and homes
to distribute food and essential supplies to the urban poor and
homeless in and around the Klang Valley. Pre-loved clothes
collected from our internal donation drive were also handed to
these families.
2. Deepavali: We partnered with MySkills Foundation, to help
brighten up the lives of 120 Indian youth. Maxis volunteers spent
one full day with the residents, working together to give a fresh
coat of paint to their flats, surfacing a futsal court and planting a
vegetable garden for the residents to harvest.
3. Christmas: We celebrated the occasion with members of the
Mount Kinabalu Guides Association and their families whose
livelihoods were impacted by the earthquake that hit Ranau, Sabah
in June 2015. Maxis distributed school uniforms to the children
of the guides and donated RM10,000 to the Association. Earlier
in June, Maxis donated 20 units of 400 gallon water tanks to 10
villages in Kundasang which were affected by the earthquake.
4. Additionally, we helped to refurbish a home in Tuaran, which
was damaged by strong winds. Working with local contractors,
we reinforced the beams, pillars, roof framework and underside
footing as well as repainted the house. Our regional team in
Sabah also organised a ‘Gotong Royong’ session to clean the
surrounding areas.
Supporting these charities and communities, our employees played
their part by volunteering their time, skills and energy. A total of 224
employees volunteered for community work this year, clocking in 1,202
volunteer hours.
SAVING ENERGY AND REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Our own carbon footprint has remained relatively stable due to energy
efficiency measures. In 2015, we maintained our total network energy
usage at 289 GWh, about the same usage in 2014. With various
initiatives in place, we recorded a cumulative reduction of 84,683
tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from 2010 to 2015, resulting
in a total reduction of about 7% over six years. Our total emissions per
base station also improved to 24.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent
(CO2e), 3.3% lower than last year.
OPERATING RESPONSIBLY AND ETHICALLY
We are obsessed with doing things the Maxis Way. That is how we
work, our priorities and our style - all anchored on the values of
being positive, collaborative and passionate. Additionally, all of us
adhere to the Maxis “Code of Business Practice” that outlines our
codes of conduct, and govern policies and procedures. These values
and expectations are also extended to business partners across our
extensive supply chain.
