Community

ROC recognises that wherever it operates there will be people with legal, economic and emotional ties to the area. It seeks to engage and deal openly with communities and personal interests in a sensitive, just and equitable way. ROC sees that it should not only be a good neighbour, but that it must also be a responsible local citizen in areas such as employment, local expenditure, training and support of local community initiatives. We take a proactive approach to engage stakeholders within the communities we work amongst.

We typically focus on community support strategies which have education as a central theme.

ROC Malaysia Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) “Reaching Out” Program

ROC supports the surrounding communities in Sarawak through its “Reaching Out” program, which focuses on community support strategies with education as a central theme. This includes providing school learning aid and educational awareness to primary school students from low-income families.

From 2017 to 2019, ROC Malaysia donated school supplies and equipment to two primary schools in Miri where the main family income comes from farming and fisheries, and to a day care centre which caters for children and young adults who are mentally and/or physically disabled.

In 2021, the CSR program focused on helping communities affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The total contribution from ROC and its employees saw distribution of 530 food aid boxes, baby formulas and diapers to families in need across Klang Valley and Selangor.

In 2022, monies collected from an auction of surplus office furniture, matched by a donation from ROC Malaysia, together with unsold office furniture, were donated to an orphanage home and a refugee learning centre.

In 2023, we proudly closed our Zakat Distribution Programme with great success. Together, we made a significant impact by assisting over 900 eligible individuals this year.
