Epson Malaysia, a leading technology provider, partnered with United Voice, a non-profit organisation supporting individuals with learning disabilities (LD), for a successful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) event.
Held on March 16, 2024, at Wangsa Bowl, 1 Utama, the event aimed to foster understanding and inclusion through a fun and interactive bowling session.
Epson building bridges through bowling
The day revolved around a friendly bowling competition, where Epson employees and members of the LD community participated together.
This casual and social setting facilitated interaction and camaraderie, promoting Epson’s commitment to diversity and inclusion within the workplace.
“We are proud to partner with United Voice for this meaningful CSR event,” said Tomohito Morikawa, Managing Director of Epson Malaysia.
“This collaboration perfectly aligns with our commitment to supporting the communities where we live and work.
By providing our employees with opportunities to connect with the LD community, we hope to raise awareness and promote social inclusion.”
Breaking down barriers, building connections
The event’s success extended beyond friendly competition. Wendy Yeong, Supervisor of United Voice’s Employment Project, expressed gratitude for Epson’s initiative.
“We are grateful for Epson’s support in creating this opportunity for our members to interact with Epson employees in a casual and social setting,” she said.
“Events like this help to break down barriers and build stronger connections within our community.”
Epson Malaysia’s CSR partnership with United Voice reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
This SDG promotes inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work opportunities for all.
The bowling event served as a microcosm of this commitment, fostering a more inclusive environment where individuals with LD can build connections and potentially explore future employment opportunities.
Epson’s partnership with United Voice demonstrates how corporate social responsibility initiatives can create positive change within local communities.
