76 ABOUT THIS REPORT WE ARE KENANGA LEADERSHIP STATEMENTS SUSTAINABILITY AT KENANGA KENANGA INVESTMENT BANK BERHAD SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2023 Going forward, we plan to expand our programmes to encompass physical, financial and social aspects, in addition to the existing mental health and wellbeing initiatives. In conjunction with World Blood Donor Day on 14 June 2023, Kenanga organised a blood donation drive to raise awareness about the critical need for blood donation and encouraged employee participation. A total of 82 employees participated in the #GiveBlood Drive. Simultaneously, two (2) health talks were conducted on the same day: EMPOWERING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES “Unlock the Secrets of Dry Eye Disease” by Dialogue Includes All Academy “Colorectal Cancer” by National Cancer Society Malaysia Over 200 Kenanga Investors Berhad’s staff and advisers participated in immersive empathy workshops led by visually impaired trainers from Dialogues Includes All (“DIA”) Academy, a social enterprise that envisions an inclusive society, breaking down barriers between abled and disabled communities. The empathy workshop, guided by visually impaired trainers, focuses on cultivating cross-cultural communication and understanding, emphasising empathetic listening and understanding. Participants were actively engaged in empathy-driven activities and discussions conducted in darkness, which are crafted to reshape awareness, promote deeper appreciation, and encourage empathetic connections. This immersive experience not only sharpens communication, teamwork, and listening skills but also fosters self-reflection, leading to profound insights rooted in empathetic principles. Building Awareness on Sexual Harassment Our 2016 guideline, “Preventing and Eradicating Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Procedure,” is designed to guide, monitor and ensure the prevention of any instances of sexual harassment in the workplace. In 2023, we revised and segregated the guideline into two separate documents, namely “Preventing and Eradicating Sexual Harassment Policy” and “Preventing and Eradicating Sexual Harassment Procedure” to provide clearer information and guidance to all employees on sexual harassment. Following that, our Notice on Sexual Harassment was communicated and information on the topic was disseminated to all employees to raise awareness. We also conducted a three (3)-hour training session titled “Managing Sexual Harassment and Workplace Bullying Complaints,” aimed at People Managers, covering sexual harassment, office bullying, and investigative skills. “It was a privilege working with social enterprise, DIA Academy, on this impactful programme. I commend DIA Academy for their unwavering commitment to creating an inclusive society, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the visually impaired trainers whose guidance and wisdom enriched our experience. Together, we have embarked on a journey of personal growth and enlightenment, laying the foundation for a more empathetic and inclusive workplace culture at Kenanga Investors.” Empathy Workshop by Dialogue Includes All Academy DATUK WIRA ISMITZ MATTHEW DE ALWIS Chief Executive Officer/ Executive Director of Kenanga Investors Berhad
