Introduction

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an obligation, beyond the requirements of

law and economics firmly adhere to a long, long-term goal for the community. To be

continuing commitment by business ethical standards of conduct, while improving the quality

of the workforce and their family life and the local community and society as a whole

contribute to economic development. It describes how a company manages its business

processes, resulting in an overall positive impact on society.

Corporate social responsibility also means to ethical manner and in the wider interestsof the business community, to actively respond to emerging social priorities and expectations.

In addition, it is a regulatory action against the wishes in advance. This is the balance of

interests of the public with interests of the shareholders, the good citizens in the community.

Corporate social responsibility is important, because the business is based on trust and

vision. To establish and maintain relationships with customers, community and trust in

regulatory bodies, is not simple and can be easily damaged or lost. In long-term success,

companies need to think beyond today to what affects them what will happen tomorrow. This

is not only to solve technical or changes in customer demand, but in the social, environmental

and governance issues, but also consider the conversion to. (Jennifer H., 2010)

How did DIGI corporate social r esponsibil i ty committed to the society?

An example shows how Digi committed their corporate social responsibility to the society.

Digi's Amazing Malaysians who are participating in the program have become an

inspiring, life-changing journey. The program has a simple goal which is to determine the

individual is doing great heritage work and engage in youth or children's programs, to support

Malaysia's heritage preservation. (Harben A., 2011)

The program was established in faith, maintain the tradition, which is needed to retain

capable people appreciate it or practice. Five broad areas of heritage were identified which to

focus onto the namely natural, cultural, art, built and social heritage. The five representatives

of each of these areas of important work done by the unsung heroes received a number of

well-deserved recognition of their commitment to their craft.

In each project, an Amazing Malaysian works with 50-100 children or youth for three

months. The projects were designed among the younger generation to be creating a lasting

love for heritage and to contribute in a concrete, long-term way to its preservation. In

addition, Digi's staff also played a different department to take a different project of Digi

which involving about 20 to 30 volunteers to perform an important role. Project divided into

three phases: - (Digi, 2011)

1. Discovery launch: children from different schools were introduced to AmazingMalaysia and the projects they are about to begin. This is an opportunity for them to

mix, to understand each other. (Digi, 2011)

2. Implementation: At this stage, the participants under the guidance of AmazingMalaysia for their design solutions. At this stage the focus is the acquisition of new

skills and knowledge. (Digi, 2011)

3. Showcase: Highly participants in the final stages of the result of work in a specialevent, the climax of months of preparation, to their families, communities and other

dignitaries. (Digi, 2011)

Digi's CSR program, in its three years, working with 15 Amazing Malaysians and

hundreds of school children and facilitators was leaving a lasting impression on so many. The

program has been received a lot of news reports, and captured the public imagination. It helps

in a real and meaningful way to enhance knowledge, skills and technology, to connect

Malaysia's past its present and future. (Harben A., 2011)

In conclude, Digi had created a sustained business growth through corporate social

responsibility. Moreover, to continue attracting and retaining the best talents, Digi created a

better alignment between human resource processes and DIGIs business goals, with stronger

focus on development, incentives and performance.

2.0 Compare and contrast

DIGI

As a large Malaysia company, DIGI believes that a company, which is both the promoter

and beneficiary of society, should not only make a contribution to economic development,

but also assume corresponding social responsibilities. DIGI believe that their corporate

brand should reflect a socially responsible business.Therefore, they offer a variety of

choices to consumers with the aim of creating excellent customer experiences of the DiGi

brand.

Environmental protection is part of the key subjects that DIGI covers under its public welfare

undertaking. The company not only provides high-quality eco-friendly products but also

advocates environmental protection to the public through large-scale social activities.

Love To Save (June 2009)

Money isn't the only thing we can save. In conjunction with the launch of DiGi's best valueDG30 Postpaid Plan, DiGi enables their customers, or anyone else living in Malaysia, to go

to www.lovetosave.com.my, choose their favorite charity, and "click" to support.

DiGi will donate RM5 per click the charity of their choice - in a mission to raise RM150,000

in 30 days. The campaign was held from 1 June - 30 June, 2009. The mission of this initiative

is to raise RM150,000 in 30 days through online click-support (not actual monetary donations

from the public). The public can choose who they want DiGi to support, by choosing from a

list of predetermined charities.

DiGi Personal Accident Insurance (2008)

DiGi came up with another innovative offering after discovering that there were only a low

percentage of insured Malaysians today. DiGi took the opportunity to draw relevant synergies

with a reputable partner to make insurance coverage easy and accessible to their customers

who normally would not get insured via traditional channels.

The one-year personal accident (PA) insurance was made eligible to all DiGi subscribers for

a free RM10,000 PA coverage, which is underwritten by AIG General Insurance (M) Bhd.

DiGi subscribers with over three months tenure are entitled to the coverage and the service

was made available via SMS activation.

Later in the year, DiGi introduced a higher insurance coverage affordable to even more

Malaysians with the introduction of two additional plans on top of the free RM10,000

Personal Accident (PA) insurance. For just RM2, a customer will be covered for accidental

death or permanent disablement at RM50,000 valid for 30 days. Customers can also opt for a

higher coverage of RM100,000 at RM6 for 30 days. For added convenience, the insurance

policy will be renewed automatically at the end of the coverage period with a reminder sent 3

days before the renewal date.

This new offer gives customers the option to increase their PA coverage to give them better

protection in line with DiGis ambition to bring relevant services to customers via easy

mobile access to make life easier. With a modular plan, DiGi empower our customers to

decide on the appropriate level of coverage for themselves and their loved ones.

Taking Entrepreneurs to "The Next Level"

DiGi partnered NTV7 on a reality television programme to encourage Malaysians to use ICT

tools to develop their ideas into viable businesses. Called DiGi - The Next Level, the 10-

episode programme awarded the winner with a cash prize of RM50, 000 and 12 months' of

enterprise support from DiGi worth over RM100, 000. Suren Haris Anwar's winning idea is a

website dedicated to promoting running.

Contestants faced weekly challenges to test their skills in areas such as branding, public

relations, and marketing and presentation skills. The audience also played a part in

determining the winner by voting their favourite via sms. The programme proved that with

the right tools and partners, anyone can take their idea to the next level.

Cable & Wireless is one of the worlds leading international communications companies.

The history to a number of British telegraphs companies founded by Sir John Pender in the

1860s. Since then, they have provided telecommunications services, networks and equipment

to businesses, governments and residential customers around the world.

Their corporate social responsibility principles are to:

Contribute positively to the social and economic development of the communities where

they operate;

Seek continuous improvement in their environmental performance;

Respect cultures, values and human rights throughout their operations; and

Nurture best practice in their activities.

These principles set the overarching framework, with their activities generally taking place at

a local level in the 39 markets where we operate. In many of these markets, they are one of

the largest companies and they often provide critical national infrastructure.

Communities

They support their local communities through an array of different activities primarilyfocused on education, sport, health and culture. In the past 12 months they have given

US$2.6 million to community initiatives. They also provide substantial in kind support and

positively encourage their colleagues to work with their chosen charities.

For example

Education

They fund the purchase of computers for schools, charities and other organisations in

Jamaica alone they donated 616 computers in 2007/08. They also provide training, including

running an internet summer school for deprived children in the Turks and Caicos Islands and

training for teachers in Anguilla. In the Channel Islands and Isle of Man they provide the

high capacity network to support the Grid for Learning which provides a host ofeducation

resources

11

In Panama, working with the Ministry of Education, they have constructed three schools,

installed 29 computer laboratories in schools and equipped 150 rural schools with satellite

internet access.

Sport

Sport is a positive means for teaching team work, discipline and wellbeing. They focus on

youth and sports played at local level including athletics, cricket and football. From free

soccer schools for deprived children on St. Kitts to softball tournaments in Antigua, they are

at the heart of community sports, providing sponsorship and support in kind.

In Panama, they have introduced a nationwide youth basketball tournament and built or

refurbished 25 basketball courts. In 2008 well double the size of this tournament by building

another 25 facilities.

In Macau, in July 2007 they were appointed by the Olympic Council of Asia and the Macau

2007 2nd Asian Indoor Games organisers as the official telecom partner of the Macau 2nd

Asian Indoor Games.

Health

They support a range of local and global health initiatives. In the Caribbean they provide

funding for research into diabetes and AIDS, including support of the HIV business council.

In the Cayman Islands they support an annual walk for breast cancer research. In the Isle of

Man they donated 10 for every mobile contract signed during October 2007 to Breakthrough

Breast Cancer.

Environment

Their environmental initiatives are focused on energy conservation, recycling, waste

management, water usage and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions

Across the business, their annual greenhouse gas emissions are estimated at 160,000 tonnes

of carbon dioxide (scope 1 and 2). While their main electricity sources are fossil fuels and

hydroelectricity, they have initiated local campaigns to find alternative energy sources. In the

Maldives, for example, they have introduced solar powered mobile base stations.

In the Cayman Islands and Grenada they continue their growing participation in Earth Day

activities, while in the Turks and Caicos Islands they sponsor Ozone Day and will host Tele-

Gathering XIIIa community event around environmental issues.

We are committed to protecting the environment.

Your Company minimizes the impact of its operations to the environment by setting highly

challenging improvement targets to progressively reduce emissions and discharges. These

efforts all fall in line with Malaysian legislations, DIGI Strategic Objectives and other related

international conventions and protocols.

Customers

They are focused on giving their customers a superior service experience and providing the

products and services they need. For example, in Panama they developed a pioneering

telemedicine service which enables local medical centers to carry out diagnosis under the

supervision of specialist medics located elsewhere, using internet protocol technology. This

allows patients to receive specialist advice, even if they are in remote locations.

Protecting employees health

We are committed to protecting the health of the people at our workplace. The year 2007 was

a challenging one for your Company in relation to the increase number of sickness

absenteeism compared to the previous year. Contributing to the higher sickness absenteeism

numbers were incidences of long-term ailments such as heart problems, stiffness of shoulder

and knee problems due to aging factors. Most of these cases involved the more senior

workers who took longer time to recover and return back to the system. On the upside, our

panel of doctors and third parties continue to carry out health promotions to increase the

awareness of the employees and contractors. These efforts aim to ensure that employees and

contractors are more proactive in looking after their own health and are not burdened by

unnecessary ailments in the years to come.

On a smaller scale, medical counseling is being carried out by Occupational Health Doctors

with the aim of helping employees who have been exhibiting a pattern of sickness

absenteeism due to short-term sickness. It is also an opportunity for these employees to voice

out any occupational or non-occupational health problem to the doctors and at the same time

maintains the medical confidentiality of the workers.

DIGI also continues to promote occupational illness (OI) reporting among staff and

contractors, and in particular among supervisors, to ensure that all occupational illness are


13/21


13

tracked and reported. This is being carried out in a proactive manner by engaging staff and

contractors alike in dialogue sessions. The efforts to track potential occupational illness

began in 2007 and to date four employees have been diagnosed as having potential OI. An

incidence of Contact Dermatitis was also recorded but upon further investigation by the

Downstream Medical Advisor it was diagnosed as being non work related.

Security

There were no untoward cases of loss of assets resulting from theft for the year. Improved

security systems and adequate controls that have matured with time have led to a decline of

such incidences in the past five years. We will continue to maintain a high security presence

throughout our facilities including conducting spot checks on people leaving the site.

COMPARISONS BETWEEN DIGI AND Cable & Wireless Communications

3.0 The merits of Corporate Social Responsibility in Malaysia

The Corporate Social Responsibility is essentially the practice of measurement,

disclosure and explanation of corporate performance towards ensuring sustainable

development. In recent years, Malaysia has demonstrated an increasing awareness of

corporate social responsibility as the international trends. Malaysian government's increasing

focus on CSR has resulted in the development of new frameworks for implementation of

CSR initiatives for the country's businesses.

The Effort on Environment

There is an organization WWF-Malaysia has been established, which is a national

conservation trust that currently runs more than 75 projects covering a diverse range of

environmental protection and nature conservation work in Malaysia. The early work focused

on scientific research of wildlife and important natural habitats. The later expanded to the

management of protected areas. Today, their work covers the broader issues of the natural

environment, incorporating such aspects as policy work, environmental education, public

awareness and campaigns.

Besides that, in a recent effort to set-off carbon emissions, a tree-planting activity was held atRimba Bursa Malaysia. Over 300 trees were planted and adopted by staff and family

members. In addition, to create further understanding on the importance of conserving and

protecting the environment, awareness programmes were initiated which included screenings

of related documentaries, sharing of educational articles and nature activities with children.

Bursa Malaysias dual certification of ISO9001:2000 and ISO14001:2004 which were

achieved in 2007, further showcased the commitment to providing stakeholders an assurance

of quality in fulfilling their requirements whilst optimizing environmental performance.

The Effort on Market

The market-oriented corporate social responsible activities have been given increasing

awareness among companies in Malaysia as consumers have become more aware of how

business activities affect society and the environmental consciousness. This applies

particularly to companies that are active in European markets, as European consumers have

expressed their willingness to punish, ignore the social and environmental factors in thecompany. Among the listed companies, it is especially those operating in the so-called "high


16/21


16

risk" sectors that are active in the market-oriented CSR activities. This includes companies

working on the extraction of natural resources and those with a special need to justify their

own business; companies involved in tobacco, alcohol, gambling, etc.

The Effort on Corporate Governance

For centuries, Malaysias multicultural society has been united by companies social

responsible behavior and the consideration shown by the members of the society for one

another. In 2000, Malaysian companies introduced the idea of a Malaysian Code on

Corporate Governance. The code establishes the principles of good governance and

describes the kinds of structures and processes that companies should strive to achieve. The

listed companies are required to submit reports detailing their compliance with the code,allowing shareholders and the general public to judge for themselves the behavior of these

companies (Bursa Malaysia). The Stock Exchange therefore drives CSR to be one of the most

powerful forces in Malaysia. According to the Association of Chartered Certified

Accountants (ACCA), 28 companies announced the Sustainable Development Report in 2009.

For the past ten years, awards for good practices in the area of CSR have been given

out in an effort to raise awareness of social responsibilities.

Prime Ministers CSR Award. ACCA Malaysia Sustainability Reporting Awards (ACCA MaSRA) Ansted Social Responsibility International Award (ASRIA) StarBiz-ICR Malaysia CR Awards

For example, the Malaysian mobile operator DiGi won the Prime Minister's CSR

Award for best overall Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program in Malaysia. The

honor was bestowed upon DiGi only two months after Telenor was ranked number one on the

prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes.

DiGi Communications (Telenor) integrates CSR into its business through the focus

areas empowering communities through connectivity; climate change; and responsible and

safe business practices. DiGi Company has set a target to reduce the "carbon footprint" by

50% by 2012. The company launched the "Deep Green Challenge", the University team

project are competing to design, use of renewable energy in rural areas with limited energy

supply of the best solution in Malaysia. The company has also implemented several measures

to empower local communities to use mobile communications, including broadband in rural

areas to establish community centers and SMS donations to carry out charity drive.

4.0 LIMITATIONS OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN MALAYSIA

Nowadays company does not just looking for profit only. Companies have

responsibility to the way their operation in the business, because it will affect to societies, and

natural environment. Sustainability refers to an organizations activities, voluntary, that could

influence to environmental concerns in business operations (van Marrewijk & Verre, 2003).

The sustainability of business that could be from internal and external factors that could be

long term planning to grows up the companies. However Corporate Social Responsibility to

sustainability the companies still have limitation that will explain in this part.

4.1 No specific regulation of doing Corporate Social Responsibility

Nowadays so many corporate social responsibilities in the business practice. There is

no specific regulation which is the good way to implement in the company. Moreover CSR

does not offer the clear framework to answer. For example there are many different

employees in the companies with different interest. Such as part time employee does not

receive pension, they much more interested to get extra hour payment. Younger employee

they interested to get day off for birth of child than older workers. CSR doesnt have specific

regulation can fit of any employee interest (Andrew, 2010)

4.2 Lack of green marketing knowledge and price of green marketing.

Green marketing in corporate social responsibilities has many reactions from thecustomer. Customer might think the green product has limitation in certain part of function,

so that companys sill needs doing on research to improve their green product. Furthermore

many of green products fail in the market place because customer thinking about the

limitation of it. Companies need to focus on Quality, many features, including performance,

look, feel, fit, comfort, and durability and customer always think about that kind of thing.

In doing green marketing practice companies need to consider about the price they

have to invest in certain production factor. Even thought the marketing product become


18/21


18

popular but the price still cannot afford all target market. This is the company need to

consider about many factor production that need to improve such as water consumption,

electricity, lighting, and major household appliances. Change the way production with green

model and using raw materials that not hazardous for environment will affect to cost of

production and cost of new equipment that company must have it. However price is another

problem that companies should face in CSR practice. Increasing cost in factor production will

affect to demand of people in Malaysia (iisd.org).

4.3 Companies Are Facing Multiple Standards and Regulations on supply chain.

Due to support corporate social responsibilities companies has the standard in their

product in ethical way and doesnt against the rules include supply chain factor. However

supply chain such as supplier also must have a certain standard that doesnt harm customer.

International standards aimed at addressing social and environmental issues in global

supply chains include WRAP, FLA, SA8000, CSC9000T, ICTI CARE, ISO 14000 and

soon ISO 26000. However companies have limitation to make sure their supplier do the right

CSR in their business run. The companies have lack communication to social data on

suppliers and difficulties to track material composition in parts and to maintain compliance

information on an ongoing basis (bsr.org).

Conclusion

As a conclusion this assignment defines about commitment of Malaysian companies

on corporate social responsibilities practice compared to CSR in global corporation.

Moreover there is discussion on the merits and limitation doing CSR in Malaysia. However

doing CSR in Malaysia becomes popular and increasingly important in the business practice.

This is for long term planning that affect short term business. Furthermore CSR in Malaysia

focus on making sustainable change in the communities and environment for more better.
