Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

2017

Since our inception, TFP Group of companies has been contributing positively to the surrounding communities through various Corporate Social Responsibility (“CS R”) initiatives. Since the introduction of sustainability reporting by Bursa Malaysia, TFP has been committed to deliver long-term sustainable values with a view to grow and maintain successful business to all its stakeholders, including our shareholders, employees and the community. We recognize the importance to strike a sustainable balance between our business pursuits and incorporating sustainable values of workplace, marketplace, environment and community.

Community Engagement

TFP has always played its role in giving back to the community through various CSR programs in the past. In 2017, the Group collaborated with Autism Cafe Project (ACP) to raise awareness about autism and most importantly to embrace people with special needs into the workforce.

The Autism Café Project, was founded in August 2016 by Mohd Adli Yahya, father of an autistic child. Adli’s vision for the Autism Café Project is to provide a safe space for individuals with autism to undergo training to learn some basic skills and hopefully it will lead to some employment opportunities.

With the objective to amplify ACP’s effort, TFP worked with ACP on several corporate and customer events to promote the good cause. During such event, autism talk was presented. During the CIO Summit 2017 event, a few autistic youths were hired to run a popcorn stall and flyers were distributed. This initiative landed ACP with a few catering opportunities as well as an invitation to give a speech on Autism.

TFP recognises the importance to strike a harmonious balance between business pursuits and CSR. We believe that we can make a difference in the community. We hope there will be more businesses and individuals who will come forward and support this meaningful project – Autism Cafe Project.

Workplace Development

In TFP, employees are highly valued as assets. In this fast-moving marketplace, we believe that our efforts to cultivate and strengthen corporate culture will eventually attract and retain talents. The VGO Sports Club is set-up to organize staff gatherings, sports and other social activities throughout the year to bring together employees for a better working relationship.

We believe human capital development is vital for business continuity and sustainability as well as growth. The Group conducts regular performance assessments and provides talent development-related training to its Management and staff. Through various training programmes, workshops and seminars, employees acquire the right technical knowledge and skill to perform their duties professionally and efficiently.

As part of employee safety in our office, a safety and evacuation training is conducted annually to all employees to ensure safety procedures and compliance are adhered to.
The Group is committed to ensure fairness in career opportunities. This applies in the recruitment and disciplinary policies. The Group does not tolerate discrimination with regards to age, ethnicity, gender, race, religion or belief.

TFP is committed to educate and nurture the new generation and to prepare them for tomorrow’s workforce. The Group offers an internship programme for local colleges, technical schools and university students to gain experience and exposure from real-life working environment. The interns will then work with its various departments including project delivery, pre-sales and consulting. Apart from giving them a head start in their career, suitable interns offer job opportunities upon completion of their tertiary studies.
