Kuala Lumpur, July 21, 2025 -- CapitaLand has been named Company of the Year for Outstanding Community Care under the Shopping Mall category and honoured with the Long-Standing Excellence Award at the Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards 2025. These accolades recognise the company’s sustained efforts in uplifting communities through its impactful #GivingBersama 4.0 initiative.

Rajendran, Chairman of CSR Malaysia, YB Datuk Seri Dr. Noraini Binti Ahmad, Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development, Peter Chan, General Manager and Eliza Kow, Head of Marketing Communications of CapitaLand Retail Malaysia; and Lee Seng Chee, Co-Chairman and Managing Editor of CSR Malaysia at the 10th Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards 2025

This marks the third consecutive year CapitaLand has received the prestigious Company of the Year accolade, underscoring its long-term commitment to enriching lives across Malaysia. In 2024, the company was also recognised for its support of underprivileged children.

The annual Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards celebrate exemplary organisations that have demonstrated unwavering commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Malaysia.

As part of CapitaLand’s global #GivingAsOne campaign, the #GivingBersama 4.0 initiative was launched to support beneficiaries from orphanage homes, schools, and low-income families across Penang, Klang Valley, Pahang, and Johor. With support from CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF), the philanthropic arm of CapitaLand Group, the initiative contributed RM200,000 worth of daily necessities and educational essentials to over 2,600 beneficiaries.

From 23 October to 20 December 2024, more than 180 CapitaLand staff volunteers dedicated over 1,400 volunteer hours who give their time and effort to serve the community. They reached nearly 800 underserved children from 21 homes, and over 1,800 individuals from 600 low-income families. Beneficiaries were identified in partnership with Unit Mutiara Food Bank in Penang and Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat Malaysia offices in Kuala Lumpur, Kuantan, and Johor.

A highlight of this year’s initiative was the introduction of a shopping mall bazaar experience – a first by CapitaLand. Organised in community halls across Malaysia, these vibrant market-style events allowed beneficiaries to select their own essential supplies, providing a more engaging and personalised experience.  

Selina Ng, Managing Director, Retail, CapitaLand Investment (Malaysia) said: “We are truly honoured to receive this esteemed accolade for the third year in a row, especially as CapitaLand celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The awards affirm our ongoing efforts to create a positive and lasting impact in the communities where we operate.”

“At CapitaLand, we believe that building resilient communities goes beyond financial contributions. Through our #GivingBersama initiative, we are heartened by the strong and sustained support from our employees, tenants, business partners, and the wider community. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of underserved groups across Malaysia. Since 2011, with the support of CHF, we have reached over 16,100 beneficiaries and contributed more than RM2.6 million in community initiatives,” added Ms Ng.

Held annually in September and October, CapitaLand’s #GivingAsOne campaign rallies staff, tenants, business partners, and customers across markets to uplift vulnerable communities. In 2024, over 8,900 volunteers across 17 countries contributed more than 46,000 volunteer hours, benefiting over 13,000 individuals globally.
