KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 11 (Bernama) -- Allianz Malaysia Berhad Group (Allianz Malaysia) proudly concludes its Allianz Charity Day 2023, a volunteering initiative for the employees to promote volunteerism, give back to the community, and clean up our environment.

This year, some 1,042 Allianz Malaysia’s dedicated employees across the nation, together with five Directors, a former Director, and 36 volunteers from the Regional Delivery Centre of Allianz Technology Malaysia participated in activities such as cleaning up of beaches, streets, forests, rivers, and parks; conducting various activities for community-based causes such as building refurbishment, community engagements, community sport’s day, Terry Fox charity run, and education tutoring, food preparation and distributions to the needy, and empowering children from the community.

Allianz Malaysia Directors and Senior Management walked the talk by embarking on the volunteerism journey to do their bit for Allianz Charity Day through meal preparations for the needy.

The event saw the directors donning chef hats to prepare pasta at Save Environment Save Ourselves (SESO) Malaysia in Petaling Jaya, to be distributed to beneficiaries from the PJ Caring Home.

SESO Malaysia is a non-governmental organisation (NGO), whose main goal is to fight against food waste and food poverty, whilst helping to build communities particularly for those who are suffering from social isolation.
