Arvato Systems Malaysia continues to reaffirm its commitment to community upliftment and social responsibility through a series of impactful initiatives in support of Mary’s Orphanage. Led by the company’s Corporate Responsibility (CR) social group, these efforts reflect a shared belief that giving back is most meaningful when employees are actively involved in creating positive change.
One of the key initiatives was the annual Canteen Day, a much-anticipated internal fundraising event. Team members across the organisation came together to bake or purchase a wide variety of food and snacks, which were sold throughout the day. The strong participation and generosity of employees resulted in all proceeds from Canteen Day being fully channelled to Mary’s Orphanage, providing much-needed financial support while fostering a spirit of camaraderie and purpose within the workplace.
Recognising the importance of education, the CR social group also organised a volunteer teaching programme to support youths at Mary’s Orphanage in their preparation for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations. An internal call for volunteers was met with enthusiasm, with employees stepping forward to teach Mathematics and English over a sustained period. This initiative not only supported academic readiness but also allowed employees to mentor and inspire the youths during a critical stage of their educational journey.
To promote healthy lifestyles and meaningful connections, Arvato Systems Malaysia invited youths from Mary’s Orphanage to join the company’s regular badminton sessions. The CR team arranged transportation to and from the badminton arena, enabling staff and youths to play alongside one another and engage in friendly competition. These sessions encouraged bonding, teamwork, and fun ways to stay active in a supportive environment.
Finally, understanding how surroundings influence well-being, employees dedicated a recent Saturday morning to a refurbishment project at the orphanage. The team repainted staircases and walls with bright, vibrant colours, bringing renewed warmth, cheer and positivity to the home.
Through these initiatives, Arvato Systems Malaysia proudly demonstrates how collective employee action can make a lasting difference—strengthening communities while enriching the employee experience through purposeful engagement.
