Introduction
We, at Mulpha, believe that while continuing our business operations across Australia and Asia, we must not
neglect our corporate responsibility. We acknowledge four important areas where we should develop our best
practice, namely:
- Environment
- Community
- Workplace
- Marketplace
Environment
As a property developer, Mulpha maintains majority of the natural
terrain and capitalises on the waterways, existing trees and
vegetation in the effort to minimize earth cutting and filling and
reduce surface water run off. We try to achieve this by preserving
a large number of trees and try to maintain the shape of the land
and the natural resources for our project development. In one of
our flagship development, Leisure Farm Resort, its master plan
was inspired by the Mind, Body & Soul concept in leveraging upon
the natural beauty and splendor of the landscape to enhance the
grandeur of the properties.
We incorporated eco-friendly elements throughout the whole
project. Energy savings and lighting system are integrated into
the entire segment of Mulpha's building design. The public and
common areas are generally uses incandescent free lighting.
Several buildings in LFR uses ponds and pools as water
catchments as part of the passive ventilation system that serve
as a cooling and evaporative method. Special roofing design is
used to maximise cooling and conserve energy. We have also
taken the special effort to transplant/ plant 300 – 600 new trees
saplings and 250,000 flowers and scrubs annually to further
enhance the development.
Workplace
At Mulpha, we always strive to maintain high
standards of recruitment, development and
retention of employees. Several measures were
put into place as we aim to be a sustainable
'employer of choice'. We always put emphasis on
health, safety and welfare of our employees. We
also provide effective communication channels for
our employees to air their grievances and work out
a solution to overcome it. The company provides
necessary training that are relevant and vital to
our line of business in order to further develop
and provide the employees with the skills and
proficiency required. Sports and wellness programs
are being incorporated into the company via the
Mulpha Recreational Club to promote a healthier
lifestyle. The employees are always encouraged
to take part in the programmes chosen by the
company.
Community
It is our responsibility as a caring corporate citizen to give
back to the community and raise awareness on social
welfare programmes that affect our society. In 2008, we
have participated in Rat Race, an annual event organised
by Bursa Malaysia. Proceedings from this event are
channeled towards charity.
The Company also initiated the 'Arts for Health' concept
which encourages staff members to actively bring cheers
and ease the burdens faced by sick children all around
Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley region. The programme
primary function is to promote the role of arts in improving
health (physical & mental) and well being of individuals. 10
programmes were conducted in four hospitals in 2008,
which are, Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia,
Hospital Selayang, Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya
and Hospital Kajang. In total, more than 250 hospitalised
children participated in the sessions conducted by our
artist.
Mulpha Sanctuary Cove (Developments) Pty Limited, a
subsidiary of Mulpha Australia, is a partner of Project 88,
a house and land donation supporting the Foundations of
former rugby union Wallaby, George Gregan and champion
golfer, Adam Scott. Project 88 was successfully auctioned
in March 2008 raising $AU1 million for the charities.
Marketplace
It is vitally important, in terms of good business practices,
for a company to instill confidence and trust with
our stakeholders. We achieved this by constantly
keeping in touch with our stakeholders through various
communicating channels, dialogues and feedbacks. We
also exercised good corporate governance and ethical
procurement with the intention to promote an exemplary
corporate conduct.
