Planworth Contributes RM35,000 to Support the Less Fortunate During Ramadan
27 March 2025
KUALA LUMPUR – Planworth Global Factoring Sdn Bhd (Planworth), a leading provider of collateral-free financing and supply chain solutions, continues its commitment as a socially responsible organization by contributing over RM35,000 to those in need as part of its Ramadan 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaign.
Planworth has channelled more than RM2.5 billion in financing to thousands of customers through various facilities, including invoice/factoring financing, purchase order financing, as well as conventional and Islamic term financing. Additionally, Planworth has supported contracts valued at over RM4 billion in the supply and services sector, with this figure continuing to grow steadily.
Planworth has also received numerous prestigious awards in Malaysia and Singapore. As the only alternative financing company to receive a 4-out-of-5 star accreditation in the SME Competitiveness Rating Enhancement (SCORE) by MRANTI (assessed on financial strength, business performance, human resources, technology adoption, certification, and market presence) and the Enterprise 50 (E50) Award by SME Corp Malaysia, these accolades further strengthen Planworth’s reputation as a trusted and reliable financial institution.
Under the theme “More Than Just Financing, Sharing the Blessings of Ramadan”, Planworth demonstrates its strong commitment to supporting underprivileged communities and extending humanitarian values beyond the scope of business.
As part of this initiative, Planworth reached out to 151 orphans and undocumented children at Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih (SBJK), Chow Kit, on 13 March 2025. Teachers and staff of the school also participated to enliven the event and support the children. The event featured an iftar session, distribution of school supplies, and duit raya, with the total contribution amounting to nearly RM25,000.
On 19 March 2025, Planworth continued its goodwill efforts by supporting 80 homeless individuals at the Kuala Lumpur Transit Centre for the Homeless (PTGKL) with contributions exceeding RM11,000, covering essential items, iftar meals, and duit raya.
Planworth Executive Director, Elaine Lim, stated that the initiative was fully funded by the corporate office and Planworth’s social club, supported by company employees who voluntarily contributed their time and effort.
“We were deeply moved seeing the real situation at SBJK. This was the first time we realized there were special schools under the Ministry of Education that care for children in dire need. We hope more initiatives like this can be established because we are confident many children have yet to receive the attention they deserve,” she told Berita Harian.
Elaine also emphasized Planworth’s commitment to running CSR programs consistently every year.
“Ramadan is a time to share blessings and bring light to those in need. We aim to instill deep humanitarian values, not just by providing financial support but also by fostering spirit within the community,” she added.
Planworth’s overall contributions included cash, food, daily necessities, school supplies, essential items, and duit raya, reflecting the company’s effort to create a positive impact beyond the financial sector.
