Historically, CDL’s strong corporate culture of giving was influenced by the late founder of our parent Hong Leong Group, Mr Kwek Hong Png, who strongly believed in the importance of sharing the company’s success with the community.

Driven by a genuine concern for society, the management approach to CDL’s community efforts extends beyond the traditional confines of only philanthropy. Believing in a more dynamic and engaged approach, CDL’s efforts draw on our resources and make the most of our experience, knowledge and extensive network to embark on community programmes in a meaningful and impactful manner.

While there are many worthy areas to support, we remain focused on our goal towards sustainability. CDL’s community involvement covers four major areas – charity towards the needy and less fortunate, the environment, youth development and the arts. We have contributed generously and widely towards these causes.

To effectively engage the community, we have been a strong supporter of the government’s 3P Partnership Model with efforts that encompass the People, Private and Public sectors. By working closely with the government, non-governmental agencies, public and private organizations on wide-ranging community initiatives, our synergistic collaborations can bring about better and more effective programmes resulting in even greater benefits for the community.
