Although our activities are mostly conducted offshore, we recognise that our activities are likely to affect nearby communities. We take our responsibilities towards local communities seriously and are committed to ensuring that our impact is positive.

We engage in sustainable projects that provide long-term benefits to local communities in education, healthcare, and social and environmental development.

We believe that education empowers people, therefore we support various educational programs across Southeast Asia, and charities which specifically focus on the needs and development of children. We engage in various scholarships to support students through their studies or improve the quality of their course materials and/or learning environment.

We support healthcare workshops organised by local non-governmental organisations in local communities in a wide range of topics including, among others, basic personal hygiene and preventative eyecare, as well as initiatives such as water purification. We believe healthcare education is one step towards improving the quality of life in rural communities.

Where appropriate, our community development or women’s economic empowerment programs are planned in consultation with governments and the local communities and authorities to provide practical and sustainable results.
