Besides helping the environment, you can also provide real-world support for non-profit organizations or projects!
The first organization that we are going to introduce in this program is Zero Waste Malaysia (ZWM), which we believe many of you already know! As a non-profit organization, ZWM always looks for donations to support its internal operations and programs throughout the year.
Each amount of contribution allows ZWM to continue spreading awareness of sustainable living by providing free resources like Zero Waste Malaysia’s Map, Zero Waste Education Series, #jomzerowaste educational video series, Trash Encyclopedia, and more.
To donate your points to Zero Waste Malaysia (ID: 415361), follow these steps:
- Go to “Account” and select “Transfer”.
- Enter the amount of points you want to donate and the ID of ZWM.
- Confirm the transfer and complete the donation. (100 points = RM1)
By supporting ZWM with your donations, you will make it possible for them to provide more resources like this in the future. We thank you for any and all contributions made towards a greener cause for our country!

35 years of transformation with Aboitiz Foundation
Today marks the 35th anniversary of Aboitiz Foundation’s work in co-creating resilient, empowered, and sustainable communities. In the Aboitiz Group’s journey to become the Philippines’ first techglomerate, Aboitiz Foundation represents what lies at the heart of this Great Transformation: People. The Foundation optimizes the synergies of Aboitiz business units and its partners nationwide to create more value for its beneficiaries, its communities, and the environment.
The Group’s commitment to corporate citizenship traces back to over a century ago when its founder, Don Ramon Aboitiz, began his corporate philanthropy efforts to better the welfare of his employees. Founded in 1988, Aboitiz Foundation has evolved beyond traditional charity, harnessing innovation to drive change and shape the future of underserved communities. With investments totaling more than PHP5 billion, Aboitiz Foundation has partnered with some 600,000 individuals and institutional partners and implemented over 5,000 corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects.
FUTURE LEADERS
Over the years, Aboitiz Foundation has provided resources, facilities, and scholarships to Filipino students and young professionals, especially those in remote areas who have less access. The Foundation made a US$10 million donation to the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) for the Aboitiz School of Innovation, Technology & Entrepreneurship (ASITE) to help address the demand for talent in data science in the country through world-class teaching and research. The Foundation is also onboarding partners to scale Aurora PH, a project that aims to provide access to electricity, internet connectivity, and digital tools to accelerate the learning of students in last-mile schools. Focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and entrepreneurial fields, the Foundation’s aims aim to empower the nation’s future leaders with opportunities to drive change for the generations to come.
ENTERPRISE & JOBS
In an ever-changing economic landscape, Aboitiz Foundation adopts an agile approach in its development programs. It finds ways to leverage technology to upskill Filipinos so they can excel in the digital economy. In 2022, over 6,000 beneficiaries, including MSMEs and cooperatives, received support and training through the foundation’s programs. Byaheng Digiskarte equips MSMEs and micro-entrepreneurs with the digital tools and skills they need to successfully grow their businesses. Similarly, the Elevate AIDA (Artificial Intelligence and Data Annotation) program provides data annotation and other technical training for homemakers and mothers that will enable them to earn a living while taking care of their families. With these new capabilities, more and more Filipinos can shape the future for themselves and their communities.
CLIMATE ACTION
Since its inception, Aboitiz Foundation has been committed to protect the environment. The Foundation has invested in sites such as the Aboitiz Cleanergy Park, which serves as a sanctuary for endangered wildlife, built entirely of recycled materials. Last year, Cleanergy Park released some 8,000 hawksbill turtle hatchlings and planted more than 19,000 mangroves. A-Park is another nationwide project towards reforestation and nature-based carbon capture solutions. The Foundation also works with various government, academic, and non-profit partners to implement systems that will develop more climate-resilient, climate-smart communities.
This journey over the years has been guided by an emphasis on the “S” in ESG, in which Aboitiz Foundation takes a people-centric approach and pairs with technology-driven solutions to drive positive change. As Aboitiz Foundation forges ahead, it carries a renewed commitment to expand flagship programs, foster global collaborations, and harness innovation to continue transforming — all in its unwavering mission to shape a brighter future for its communities, and for the nation.

Takumi International Forms Business Partnership in Malaysia’s EC Site Industry
TK International Sdn Bhd, a comprehensive marketing company based near Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is pleased to announce its business partnership with Takumi International Sdn Bhd, a retail business operating in Malaysia, to promote and support the sales of Japanese traditional crafts and apparel in the Southeast Asian market through EC sites.
Supporting Cross-Border E-Commerce Sales of Japanese Traditional Crafts and Apparel
Many countries in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, have witnessed a rapid expansion of the e-commerce market, where consumers make purchases online through EC sites and social media platforms. On the other hand, Japanese traditional crafts and similar products have had limited exposure online, with their historical background, traditions, and product values being relatively less showcased in the international market.
Hence, through this partnership, Takumi International aims to introduce the appeal of these Japanese products to the Southeast Asian market in languages such as English and Chinese and to expand into new markets through sales on EC sites. TK International will provide technical support for cross-border e-commerce and offer digital marketing strategies, supporting international success from a technical perspective.
Opening of an EC Site with Kimono as the First Step
As the inaugural step of this partnership, we are delighted to announce the launch of a new EC site with “kimono” as the central theme. This kimono-themed site offers a wide range of products, including hijabs made from Japanese kimono fabrics and fashion accessories, all produced in Japan. We aim to provide products that blend Japanese culture with Malaysian fashion trends.
Access to the kimono site is as follows:Takumi International’s Kimono Site https://kimono.com.my/
