Ichiplas Stands Together: Supporting Flood Relief Efforts During the Northeast Monsoon 2024
At Ichiplas, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to give back to the communities they serve. As a plastic injection manufacturing plant based in Johor Bahru, we are not just about producing high-quality products—we are also about making a positive impact on society. This commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) was recently put into action during the challenging Northeast Monsoon season of 2024.
The Northeast Monsoon 2024: A Time of Crisis
Between 1 November and 20 December 2024, the Malaysian Meteorological Department (METMalaysia) issued multiple weather alerts as the Northeast Monsoon brought heavy rainfall to several states, including Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Johor, Sarawak, and Sabah. The Early Phase of the monsoon resulted in severe flooding, displacing families, damaging homes, and disrupting lives.
For many of us at Ichiplas, this crisis hit close to home. Several of our employees have family members living in the affected states. Seeing the devastation and hardship faced by these communities, we knew we had to step up and help.
Coming Together to Make a Difference
In true Ichiplas spirit, our team rallied together to contribute to flood relief efforts. We organised a donation drive to collect essential items that would provide immediate relief to the flood victims in Pantai Timur. The response from our employees was overwhelming, and we were able to gather a wide range of useful foods and necessities, including:
- Food Staples: Noodles, biscuits, bread, and bottled water
- Daily Essentials: Tissues, sanitary pads, and milk
- Fresh Produce: Fruits like bananas and oranges
These items were carefully sorted and packed into care packs by our dedicated team. Each pack was thoughtfully prepared to ensure it could meet the basic needs of a family during this difficult time.
Hands-On Support: Our Team's Personal Contribution
What made this initiative truly special was the personal involvement of our team. From donating items to packing and organising the care packs, every step was carried out with care and compassion. It wasn't just about providing material support—it was about showing solidarity and empathy for those affected by the floods.
As a company, we are proud of our team's efforts and the positive impact we were able to make. This initiative reinforced our belief that even small actions can create meaningful change when done with sincerity and collective effort.
Our Commitment to CSR
At Ichiplas, CSR is not just a buzzword—it's a core part of who we are.
