United Plantations awarded Malaysian CSR prize

Saturday, the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister presented United Plantations with the
prize for best CSR practice in Malaysia

Two years ago United Plantations was presented with the prize as the best operated
plantation in Malaysia. This year the Company was presented with the prize for the
best CSR practice in the country. The prize is based on companies' contribution to and
positive impact on the employees, environment and local communities as a whole.
The prize was presented on a premier event on Malaysian commodities the Malaysia
International Commodity Conference & Showcase (MICCOS) held last weekend. The
conference is held every second year and is the largest of its kind in the country.
"Two years ago we were rewarded for running the most efficient plantation in
Malaysia. Being awarded the CSR prize this year is, in my opinion, a clear evidence of
our holistic approach to sustainability. Financial sustainability is, without a doubt,
part and parcel of our impact on the employees, the environment and the surrounding
communities. We build on a tradition that has been United Plantations' cornerstone
for generations", says Executive Director of United Plantations Mr Carl Bek‐Nielsen.
The Prize was presented by Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin
Yassin and the Malaysian Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, Tan Sri
Bernard Giluk Dompok.
