PGP Cares: CSR & ESG Highlights

Our Commitment to ESG and CSR: Building a Sustainable Future Together

Supporting People, Protecting the Planet, and Practicing Good Governance

At Kilang Papan Sdn Bhd, we believe that business success should go hand in hand with social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and ethical governance. Guided by strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and rooted in meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), we are committed to creating long-term value—not just for our company, but for our communities and the planet.

What ESG and CSR Mean to Us

A) ESG refers to how we operate as a responsible business in three key areas:

Environmental: How we protect and preserve natural resources.
Social: How we care for our employees, communities, and broader society.
Governance: How we uphold ethical, transparent, and accountable business practices.

B) CSR complements ESG by focusing on our hands-on contributions to community well-being, humanitarian support, and employee engagement.

Together, they shape our purpose as a company that grows sustainably while giving back to the society and ecosystem we’re part of.
