Creating Positive Change and Building Stronger Communities and Environment

During the year, the company dedicated resources to community engagement and charitable contributions, with a focus on addressing social and environmental challenges.
Recognising employees as key contributors to community initiatives, the Company encourages employees’ active engagement, emphasising their essential role in driving positive impact for both communities and the environment.
MPM
For over two decades, the Fishermen Financial Assistance Scheme (FFAS) has stood as a cornerstone flagship programme under our MPM business pillar. This initiative embodies QL’s core value of “Win-Win,” forging a mutually beneficial arrangement between the company and local fishermen.
Under FFAS, fishermen receive essential financial support, enabling them to upgrade or acquire new fishing equipment. This support enhances fishermen’s catch efficiency, increases earnings, and fosters skill development. In return, QL benefits from a steady and dependable supply of raw materials, ensuring ongoing support for our MPM operations.
Through this enduring collaboration, both parties engage in a robust exchange of knowledge and expertise, ultimately contributing to the advancement of the fishing industry. This strong, symbiotic relationship not only improves the welfare and livelihood of the fishermen but also reinforces our dedication to sustainable practices and community development.
In FY2025, QL allocated RM16.37 million in financial aid through the FFAS initiative, directly benefiting 777 fishermen. The company incurred an estimated net financing cost of RM443,191 in support of this programme.
ILF
Established in 2023, the C Our Future programme has become a vital flagship initiative within our ILF business pillar. QL’s ongoing collaboration with Ceva Animal Health reaffirms our commitment to addressing stunting among preschool-aged children, while also promoting nutritional education and awareness among their caregivers.
In FY2025, the initiative achieved a significant milestone by distributing 98,000 eggs to 505 pre-schoolers from low-income families and indigenous communities, a substantial increase from the previous financial year’s distribution of 25,200 eggs to 207 preschoolers. It also successful contributed to reducing the number of underweight and severe underweight by 46% among the measured children.
Additionally in July 2024, a high-impact health talk was organised as part of the ongoing C Our Future programme. The event,
attended by over 150 parents and children, focused on raising awareness of child stunting and underscored the critical role
of egg consumption in daily nutrition, complemented by engaging activities such as egg crafting. Eggs are a cost-effective, easily accessible, and versatile source of high-quality nutrition, making them an ideal food to integrate into diets, especially for children in low-income communities at risk of malnutrition and stunting. By incorporating eggs into daily diets, children receive the essential nutrients needed for healthy growth and development, reducing the risk of stunting and ensuring a strong foundation for their future well-being.
Building on the programme’s success since its inception, it is now being scaled up to support approximately 700 children across 25 kindergartens (TABIKA) over the course of a year. As part of the initiative, children under the age of 5 years will receive 1 egg a day for 5 days a week for consumption during their schooling time in the TABIKA.
Over the years, QL has consistently upheld our dedication to advancing educational excellence within the communities we serve. By fostering enriched learning environments and supporting impactful initiatives in educational institutions, we aim to elevate the quality of education and empower future generations.
In FY2025, we expanded our support for UPM’s Faculty of Agriculture by sponsoring 1,500 layer hens for the newly established layer house. This contribution is aligned with the university’s objectives to advance teaching and learning in the production of laying hens, strengthen research and innovation capabilities, and enhance the overall quality of student education and hands-on training.
Ongoing efforts to promote quality education include building, upgrading educational facilities and supporting initiatives that enhance students’ well-being and learning experiences. Many business units are actively involved in a range of activities, such as participating in fundraising efforts, providing scholarships for deserving students, sponsoring awards for top achievers, and facilitating educational visits to our business units.
CVS
Building on our ongoing efforts to reduce food waste and support vulnerable communities, our CVS business pillar has entered the second year of partnership with Kechara Soup Kitchen. This collaboration is part of our broader food salvage initiative aimed at redirecting surplus edible food to those in need, in alignment with the food waste hierarchy.
On 9 November 2025, in conjunction with World Food Day, we organised a food donation drive where QL Kitchen and QL Maxincome volunteers distributed food to several charity homes. This hands-on effort helped raise awareness while delivering immediate support to underserved communities.
Throughout FY2025, a total of 51,620 meals were distributed to underserved communities. This programme addressed food insecurity, prevented edible food from ending up in landfills, and contributed to both community wellbeing and resource conservation.
