'Gotong-Royong Bersama Masyarakat'
During the year 2006, staff members from each JUSCO store throughout Malaysia put aside some personal time to carry out ‘gotong-royong’ activities at orphanages, schools and religious organisations near their respective store. These activities included painting and cleaning up the compound, repairing electrical wiring and lights, as well as donations of much-needed necessities. AEON CO. (M) BHD.’s Corporate Affairs Department organised these “Gotong-Royong Bersama Masyarakat Tempatan (Community Service with Local Communities)” activities in line with the Company’s efforts to reach out to the surrounding communities.

Orphans Given A Head Start At School
AEON, through the Malaysian JUSCO Foundation, launched an innovative outreach programme called “Membeli Sambil Menderma” (Donate as you Buy). JUSCO customers who purchased school uniforms at the “Back To School” promotion (from 1 to 21 December 2006) were asked to place the price tags into special boxes provided. The Malaysian JUSCO Foundation then donated 1% of the total sales to 16 orphanages around the country, to help them buy school uniforms for the 2007 school year.
