15 Dec 2025
Stepping in December, our CBI Penang volunteers stepped out from behind our desks and into the community with warmth and compassion. 💖 We have spent a meaningful morning cooking, singing, playing games, and sharing stories with the elderlies.
Together, we also donated essential supplies and raised funds to support the home’s daily needs. As a part of the Penang community, CBI is committed to contributing in every way we can to support and uplift those around us. This event reflects our ongoing dedication to making a positive impact where we live and work.

At CBI, we’ve learned something simple but powerful: the best work happens when people feel valued beyond their output. So instead of just talking about work-life balance, we focus on creating small, meaningful moments, whether it’s the Welfare Committee’s quarterly birthday celebrations and ice-cream days, the Sports Committee’s yoga sessions and competitive e-sports leagues, or the Volunteer Committee’s meaningful beach clean-ups and charity fun fair volunteer. After all, a balanced team doesn’t just build a better company, they build a better community.

Our CBI Penang volunteers were thrilled to join another impactful sales event organised by @wccpenang, this time held at their main office. The mission was clear: to recycle as much clothing as possible and give them a new lease of life, with every kilogram priced at just RM10.
We are incredibly proud to share that together, we managed to recycle a staggering 500KG of clothing over the two-day sale! Our volunteers worked long hours folding clothes, weighing goods, and moving stock from the storeroom, and we're delighted to say that all the hard work truly paid off. From sorting and pricing to assisting customers, our team was dedicated to supporting this fantastic initiative. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed!
