Corporate Social Responsibility

Chubb in Malaysia worked closely with The Lost Food Project once again to combat food wastage in the local communities. A volunteering activity was held and Chubb staff who participated managed to sort and distribute 1,481kgs of food, providing a whopping 4,231 meals to those who were in need. Moreover, a composting workshop was held to provide more knowledge on how food waste can be repurposed. 

Chubb in Malaysia  continues its efforts to aid in the planting of trees in the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary in Sabah with Animal Projects & Environmental Education Malaysia (APE Malaysia). The continuous effort demonstrates Chubb’s strong commitment to making a positive impact on the environment. A total of 1,000 trees have been planted as an initiative to restore habitats for endangered species.

In continuous effort to move #TowardsZeroWaste, Chubb in Malaysia organized an upcycling workshop  and a sustainability-themed treasure hunt for staff with the objective of spreading and driving positive change by educating and equipping staff with better knowledge on plastic usage and its waste. 

The upcycling workshop featured a talk, followed by a hands-on workshop where staff were able to experience upcycling used/unwanted plastic into meaningful items such as pots, coasters, and keychains. Participants were also encouraged to contribute their unwanted/used plastic for the upcycling workshop. 

The hunt on the other hand required participants to complete a task sheet which was crafted based on elements of sustainability. A fun way to foster a new norm and to encourage the 5Rs of Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle. 

To help minimize food waste from going to landfills, Chubb in Malaysia organized a cookies donation drive during Hari Raya 2023. With the generous support of Chubb staff, 148 containers of unexpired and unopened festive cookies were received and redistributed to urban poor families via The Lost Food Project.

To highlight on the emerging issue of food wastage in our local communities, Chubb in Malaysia organized a “Lunch & Learn” session where a talk by The Lost Food Project was held to educate Chubb staff on the topic and to motivate positive change in eating habits.

In celebration of World Environment Day 2022, Chubb in Malaysia planted 220 trees under Animal Projects & Environmental Education Sdn. Bhd. (APE Malaysia)’s Restore Our Amazing Rainforest (ROAR) programme at the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, Sabah.  Besides contributing to reforestation and mitigating climate change, this initiative also aims to benefit the wildlife and local community in the years to come.

In support of the vulnerable communities affected by the pandemic and to raise awareness about food waste, 142 Chubb employees and business partners participated in the #CleanYourPlate Challenge held by the company. The activity raised a total of RM5,680 which was used to purchase essential daily supplies for the beneficiaries of Regional Day of Service (RDS) 2021, namely Yayasan Sunbeams Home and Ti-Ratana Welfare Society. As part of Chubb’s philanthropy mission towards building a sustainable environment, all the supplies were purchased from Liquid ETC, a zero waste bulk store.

In conjunction with International Women’s Day, celebrated annually, three sessions of women-only self-defence workshops were held to empower the female employees and business partners. Designed and facilitated by SheFights Malaysia, the participants were taught the basics of self-protection skills to deal with common situations of harassment and violence.

Earth Hour is more than just switching off the lights. It’s also about spending time to connect to the Earth and appreciate everything that nature gives us. Therefore, Chubb in Malaysia sponsored 46 employees to participate in WWF-Malaysia’s inaugural Earth Hour Virtual Run for Nature. Over a period of four weeks, they completed a total distance of more than 500km in support of efforts to save the wildlife and forests. All registration proceeds were channelled to WWF-Malaysia’s crucial conservation efforts.

Chubb’s environmental awareness programme, Greening the Blue was back again in celebration of the World Environment Day.
