History of CSR:

• CSR in Malaysia began in the form of small contributions which was traditionally driven by religions and racial motivations.
• Multinational companies and businesses influenced by the west began to make corporate contributions
• The Malaysian government has gradually increased its focus on CSR, creating frameworks for implementation of CSR initiatives for the country’s businesses
  • For example, the CSR Silver Book launched by the government-linked company (GLC) transformation programme, which provides firms with scorecards and guidelines to measure CSR ideas and to measure the effectiveness of corporate CSR policies.
