Magnum empowers its employees through volunteerism as a responsible corporation.
As a responsible corporate company, Magnum has been advocating the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices with its staff participating in various programmes to better serve the community.
This CSR activity, led by Krian Upatkoon, executive director of Magnum 4D Bhd and Datuk Chan Chee Fai, Magnum Group chief commercial officer, was made successful by the active participation of Magnum employees who had planted more than 200 plant seedlings along the borders of the 12ha public park at Pantai Eco Park, here.
Chan said, “To ensure the success of this CSR programme, MagnumCares will collaborate with Malaysia Nature Society (MNS) to monitor the trees’ growth and survival over the years.

“This is our first of many collaborations with MNS, an NGO that has pioneered in making a difference through habitat conservation and environmental education since 1940.”
The issues of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide emission is becoming increasingly severe in recent years. Planting trees will help the Mother Earth to mitigate such negative impacts and aiding our environmental sustainability.
“We hope this initiative will bring in other NGO partners to protect our environmental heritage for the generations to come.
“We are proud to say that with our employees’ participation, we have helped to revitalise the park's surroundings with greenery.
“MagnumCares aims to plant up to 600 trees at the same place by the end of 2022, in hopes of conserving the planet through planting more trees for a better environment.”
He added: “We are glad to contribute to the national tree-planting campaign and we look forward to future initiatives supporting the cause.”
