We stand as a force for good force for good
As one of Southeast Asia’s leading conglomerates, Sunway firmly believes that no corporation can stand apart from the communities it serves, which is why most of our corporate social responsibility efforts are focused on helping the marginalised and often the forgotten sectors of society.
Guided by our core values — Integrity, Humility, and Excellence — we believe that we can do well by doing good.

We integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into our corporate responsibility strategies that make our efforts meaningful to foster lasting change

#ZeroFoodWastage
Food waste is a pressing issue across the globe – a significant amount of food end up in landfills. On top of that, climate change and global conflict continues to exacerbate the imbalance between food surplus and hunger. To help address this challenge, we launched initiatives that reduce waste, enhance sustainable practices, and improve food accessibility.
Food Composting
Food waste accounts for 8-10% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions and occupies almost a third of the world’s agricultural land. To reduce this impact, we leverage composting machines and facilities to transform food scraps into organic compost. This sustainable alternative to chemical fertilisers helps cultivate greener spaces.

Ending Hunger and Ensuring Food Security
Our partnership with international hunger relief agency Rise Against Hunger drives efforts to combat hunger, malnutrition, and poverty while creating lasting impact. A key initiative is its meal packaging drive, which mobilises volunteers to provide nutritious meals for those in need. Each meal supports a child’s learning, enhances an adult’s productivity, and aids a patient’s recovery, offering crucial reinforcement against food insecurity.
Meal Packathon
At Sunway, we host meal pack-a-thons that unite employees and student volunteers as well as our stakeholders to assemble nutritious meal packs. Each contains rice, lentils, dehydrated vegetables, and essential vitamins, helping to improve focus, energy levels, and overall well-being. This hands-on initiative not only expands the NGO’s meal distribution capacity but also transforms compassion into action.
Mission Trips
Beyond meal packing, we engage with the underserved and remote communities, including indigenous groups, to gain deeper insight into food insecurity and the need for sustainable aid. These engagements reinforce our commitment to long-term solutions and the real-life impact of our support.
Hunger Awareness
Raising awareness is key to addressing food insecurity. By sponsoring and hosting meal pack-a-thons, we engage communities and highlight the broader effects of hunger. Through education and action, we hope to inspire a growing community of advocates committed to food security and meaningful change.

Sunway READ Programme
Through Sunway READ, which stands for ‘Reading Enhances Aspiration and Drive’, we built and refurbished 50 libraries nationwide, in close collaboration with Friends to Mankind and MyPJ across. More than simply being stewards of books and information, these libraries built in schools, orphanages, and paediatric wards in public hospitals are envisioned as community hubs that benefit individuals from all backgrounds.
Healthcare
Delivering Meaningful Impact on the Healthcare Frontline
Urbanisation is reshaping the way we live and, in some cases, increasing our vulnerability to health-related risks. With the expansion of Sunway Healthcare Group, we recognise our responsibility to raise awareness and contribute to solutions for challenges confronting the healthcare value chain, such as the rising prevalence of modern diseases and inadequate medical access.
Sunway The Good Run
Sunway The Good Run
Sunway The Good Run (STGR) is more than just a race — it’s a movement that unites communities in the spirit of optimism and giving. This inspiring event channels all proceeds to cancer-focused organisations, supporting their efforts in advancing care, research, and patient support. Every step taken is a step towards a healthier future for all.
Running for Charity and Well-being
STGR inspires participants to embrace fitness while exploring the vibrant, sustainable landscape of Sunway City Kuala Lumpur. Running along the BRT – Sunway Line elevated track, the event not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but also raises vital funds to support cancer patients with quality care and treatment.
Championing Sustainability
STGR is also a testament to sustainability, aligning with global environmental commitments. The event integrates eco-friendly practices, such as using recycled materials for participant tees, encouraging runners to bring their own water bottles, and upcycling event banners into reusable items. Workshops and activities further enrich the experience, inspiring participants to adopt sustainable habits in everyday life.
Together, we go the distance — not just for ourselves, but for a greater cause.
