About this Report
This is the second DRB-HICOM Berhad (“DRB-HICOM”) Sustainability Report we have produced which provides disclosure of our sustainability
achievements in a proactive approach with our stakeholders. We have tried to present our data in the most accurate manner possible,
using quantitative indicators wherever relevant. We have compared our achievements in FYE 2011 against those of the previous year to show the
progression of our sustainability activities. We have also used our FYE 2011 performance as a benchmark for our FYE 2012 targets. For greater
transparency, we have used Social Return on Investment (SROI) calculations to quantify one of our major Corporate Responsibility (CR) activities.
We adopt new guidelines in sustainability initiatives as they emerge to keep abreast with international best practice. In FYE 2011,
these included the ISO 26000 guidance on social responsibility.

Group Managing Director’s Statement
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
I am pleased to present our second
Sustainability Report. This Report aims
at providing additional perspectives
on our performance in the workplace,
community, marketplace and
environment. We truly acknowledge
that Corporate Responsibility (CR)
extends beyond our philosophical
and philanthropic commitments.
it is therefore imperative that we
showcase our commitments by
conducting our business responsibly,
with integrity and strong
governance.
DRB-Hicom Berhad
08
Last year, we took a step further to communicate our
transparency and accountability by producing our first
Sustainability Report. The strategic plans and robust
initiatives under our CR vision that were announced
in my previous statement had been successfully
implemented. I would like to take this opportunity to
evident the spirit of our employees and with the support
of our other stakeholders we were able to achieve strong
environmental and social performance.
In this Report, I would like to highlight our contribution
towards sustainable development benefiting our operating
environment, society, partners and all of our stakeholders;
and how we continuously strive to manage our business
operations in a responsible way.
Our Milestones During the Year
Apart from extending our efforts to formulate the
necessary strategies and initiatives to improve the quality
of information delivered in this Report, we also aim
to be a leader across our core Sustainability pillars i.e.
Workplace, Community, Marketplace and Environment.
While there were various initiatives executed over the
past twelve months, we remained steadfast in our
commitments to nourish the Country and improve the
lives of Malaysians through our CR efforts.
Taking into consideration that the planet is our greatest
stakeholder, we persevere to mitigate and reduce the
burden of our business activities on the environment to
develop a sustainable society. In FYE 2011, we continued
to measure our environmental impacts through sustainable
green practices while contributing to socio-economic
development and reaching out to improve the quality of life
of deserving communities. We believe that managing our
responsibility as a corporate citizen is vital in maximising
its positive impacts to the society while balancing the
expectations of our diverse stakeholders.
For the year under review, we also placed great emphasis
on delivering high impact CR through various key
initiatives. We recognise that education is one of our
main Community pillar in our promise to spearhead
nation-building. Therefore, we are dedicated to enhance
excellence through ICAM’s holistic approach coupled by
competitive learning courses in automotive education.
Amongst other key initiatives implemented is the
Environment Management Plan (EMP) to monitor all
environmental impacts in our operations while promoting
green procurement within our tendering and purchasing
processes.
As part of our innovation through green technology,
we have also launched our first state-of-the-art
environment friendly electric bike, CTric by MODENAS.
The CTric is developed, assembled and manufactured in
Malaysia. We have also expanded the application of our
HICOM Management System to all Group companies
to encourage our vendors to conduct themselves
responsibly.
Last but not least, we have taken a historic step in
accelerating the Company’s goals on gender equality
and women empowerment. I am pleased to evident
the significant increase in the number of female senior
managers in the Company and we will continue to
promote learning as part of our long term human capital
development process.
With such commendable achievements to date, I assure
you that we will not become complacent and we will
continue to challenge ourselves to achieve more. We
continue to set formal goals in our primary CR focus
areas, helping to drive accountability and continuous
improvement to the business.
Sustainability Challenges
Commitment to CR in our Group is unwavering as
Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important area of
focus globally. We realise that all aspects of Sustainability
are demanding but we need to relish these challenges
as they are vital to creating competitive advantage.
Sustainability can act as a catalyst for innovation and
help identify new business opportunities, reduce risk and
improve cost efficiency as well as enhancing relationships
with our stakeholders. Moving forward, we will strive
to bring our efforts to greater heights, to ensure that
DRB-HICOM, as a global corporate citizen, live up to the
expectations of all our stakeholders.
Acknowledgement
On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my
utmost gratitude to the Management and employees
for their dedication and commitment. The successes we
achieved in FYE 2011 could not have been accomplished
without your hard work. I would also like to extend my
sincere appreciation to all our stakeholders and valued
shareholders for their continued support and confidence
in DRB-HICOM Group. This Sustainability Report is
dedicated to all of you. I hope you find it useful and
informative. As always, we welcome your feedback for
our further improvements.

MATERIALITY ANALYSIS
High
Prior to our materiality analysis,
we conducted a review exercise
to identify and document
significant opportunities,
challenges and priorities in
our operating environment in
order to anticipate the emerging
expectations of our stakeholders
and respond proactively. We use
a materiality matrix to map these
issues and focus our efforts
on each area according to the
following criteria:
1. High: We report our comprehensive management
approach, set targets where relevant and disclose
our performance in achieving the goal
2. Medium: Issues covered in this area are
reported but not necessarily with quantitative
performance indicators
3. Low: These issues have been identified as low
materiality and are not reported in detail

Workplace
We do not report extensively on child and forced labour since we adhere to the national
Employment Act 1955 which prohibits the employment of underage and forced workforce.
The Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI-G3) use materiality
as one of three key principles in defining report content. Material issues are “topics
and indicators that reflect the organisation’s significant economic, environmental and
social impacts, or that would substantively influence the assessments and decisions
of stakeholders”.
Identify Key Issues
We have attempted to conduct the identification process of key issues according to three
broad categories specified by GRI-G3 Economic, Social and Environment. Considering our
diversified nature of business, we classify these issues by the corresponding areas that are
most likely to impact our CR strategy.
Assess the potential impact of issues and their importance to stakeholders
Our stakeholder groups include internal and external; direct and indirect stakeholders.
We continue to prioritise issues according to our stakeholders’ areas of concern and their
impact level to our business goals.
Focus on material areas
Having identified the areas of significant impact on our operations and of most concern
to our stakeholders, we have formulated our approach to sustainability reporting. This
Report has been structured in a way that stresses priority areas, highlights the rationale
behind each selection and demonstrates our commitment to addressing each area and its
current performance.

Corporate Governance
Good corporate governance is globally accepted at DRB-HICOM as being fundamental to our organisation’s
competitiveness. It is vital to growth and enhances shareholders’ value through a sustainable business. The Board
of Directors is committed to ensuring that the highest standards of Corporate Governance are practiced throughout
the Group as a fundamental part of its responsibilities in managing the business and affairs of the Group. Our Corporate
Governance practices are aligned with the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (Revised 2007) – “the Code”.

Composition and Balance
The current Board has eight members: one Executive Director
and seven Non-Executive Directors (including the Chairman).
Five are independent as defined by Bursa Securities Main
Market Listing Requirements. The independent Directors
make up 62% of the Board membership.
All members of the Board are suitably qualified in view
of their respective qualifications and experience which
provide the Board with a good mix of industry-specific
knowledge, broad business sense and commercial experience.
DRB-Hicom Berhad
12
This balance enables the Board to provide clear and
effective leadership to the Group and bring information
and independent judgement to many aspects of the Group’s
strategy and performance.
Appointments and Training
There is a formal and transparent procedure for the
appointment of new Directors to the Company and the
Group. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee
ensures that an induction programme is arranged including
visits to the Group’s significant businesses and meetings with
senior management as appropriate.
All existing Directors completed the Mandatory Accreditation
Programme and are also encouraged to attend continuous
education programmes and seminars to keep abreast of the
latest developments in the marketplace.
Board Meetings and Supply of Information to the Board
The Board met a total of eight times in the FYE 2011 and
all Directors attended more than half of the meetings held
during the financial year. Issues discussed include financial
information and other information deemed suitable such
as new statutory and regulatory requirements concerning
their duties and responsibilities; risk management and risk
management updates; customer satisfaction; product and
service quality; market share and market trends; manpower
and human resource; and environmental issues. The Board
meetings are governed by a structured formal agenda and
matters for approval or notation with sufficient time given
for deliberations.
All Directors, whether independent or otherwise, have direct
and unrestricted access to the Management and may seek
professional advice at the Group’s expense. All Directors
also have access to the advice and services of the Company
Secretary whose appointment and removal is a matter for
the Board as a whole.
Board Committees
To ensure the effective discharge of its fiduciary duties,
the Board has delegated specific responsibilities to the
respective Committees of the Board. These include:
•Audit Committee
•Nomination and Remuneration Committee
•Risk Committee
In addition to the Board Committees, the Company has
established three other main committees at management level:
•Management Committee
•Group Risk Management Committee
•Corporate Responsibility Steering Committee
Relationship and Communication with Stakeholders
In October 2010, we established the Investor Relations (IR)
Department in an effort to increase awareness among the
investment community by assisting investors to develop a
well rounded understanding of the Group’s businesses and
strategies. Groups which belong to this community amongst
others include fund managers, analysts, shareholders,
potential shareholders, bankers, regulators, credit rating
agencies and fixed-income holders.
The role of IR is mainly to bridge the gap between the
Management and our stakeholders, namely the investment
community by encouraging 2-way communications and
improve the level and quality of disclosure. The IR Department
acts as a touch-point for the investment community seeking
clarification on any issues regarding the Group. Since its
inception, the IR Department maintained an active role
through continuous dialogue with investors via a planned
programme of investor relations activities and engagement.
With DRB-HICOM’s diversified nature of business, it is
imperative that stakeholders’ interests are met through
timely dissemination of information with sufficient level of
transparency and accountability. In FYE 2011, key IR initiatives
undertaken by the Group aimed at improving engagement with
stakeholders include in-house one-to-one and small group
meetings, teleconferencing and improvement of IR webpage
which can be assessed through its corporate website.
The Board of Directors values the dialogues with investors
and appreciates the keen interest of shareholders and
investors in the Group’s performance. We also communicate
with our shareholders and stakeholders on regular basis
through the release of quarterly financial results, press
releases and announcements to Bursa Malaysia.
In addition, the distribution of DRB-HICOM’s Annual Report
provides shareholders a comprehensive outlook on the
Group’s financial results, its activities and operations. Another
form of effective communication is through its yearly Annual
General Meeting (AGM). The AGM provides an open forum
where shareholders are informed of recent developments
and also Q&A sessions with the Board members.
Conflict of Interest
The Directors continue to observe the Company Directors’
Code of Ethics established by the Companies Commission of
Malaysia in carrying out fiduciary duties and responsibilities.
We ensure high ethical standards are upheld and the
interests of stakeholders are always a priority. The Directors
are required to declare their direct and indirect interests in
the Company and related companies. We have implemented
appropriate controls to ensure the systematic identification
of potential conflicts of interest and procedures between
the Directors and operation of the Group to manage such
conflicts of interest if they arise.
DRB-HICOM Corruption Commitment
Corrupt practices are completely unacceptable to us and are
strictly prohibited. We introduced a policy in 2006 and this
is also clearly communicated to all employees in the Code
of Ethics & Business Practice. No bribes or gratuities can be
offered or accepted by any party. All operations are monitored
for risks related to fraud and corruption. All commercial
transactions must be properly and accurately recorded. The
Group Managing Director, Dato’ Sri Haji Mohd Khamil Bin
Jamil, strongly upholds the principle of anti-corruption and
regularly communicates this issue to all employees.
The Group Internal Audit Division reports directly to the
Audit Committee which consists of solely independent
members. This structure was adopted to ensure a fair and
non-biased assessment and opinion in carrying out its
responsibilities which include ensuring compliance with laws
and regulations; ensuring the accuracy and transparency of
financial reporting; and investigating fraud and safeguarding
assets. The practice of honesty, truthfulness and accuracy is
aligned with the Group shared values of ‘Integrity’.
The policy applies to DRB-HICOM and all its subsidiary
companies. All stakeholders including employees,
shareholders, consultants, vendors, contractors, outside
agencies or any other parties with a business relationship
with us or our subsidiaries are encouraged to report any
wrongdoing that may adversely impact the Company. It is
the task of the internal auditors or any assigned parties
to investigate any report received. The results of this
investigation will be reported to the Audit Committee and
Senior Management of the Group.
Our toll-free hotline is one of the mechanisms introduced to
employees to report allegations of wrongdoing or unethical
business behaviour. Complaints and reports under this policy
can also be made through email, fax or mail.
Anti-Fraud Policy
Our Management is responsible for the detection and
prevention of fraud, misappropriations and other
inappropriate conduct. Fraud is defined as the intentional,
false representation or concealment of a material fact for
the purpose of inducing another to act upon it to his or
her injury and financial loss. This policy ensures consistent
and effective investigation, reporting and disclosure of fraud
occurrences within the Group.
Compliance
Our fight against corruption is exemplified through signing
of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) by Puspakom
with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)
to mitigate corruption in the most efficient and effective
manner within our Company.
Whistleblower Policy
The whistleblower policy directly supports company values
and the corporate code of ethics and governance. This
policy emphasises the Group’s commitment to enabling
stakeholders to raise concerns in a responsible manner
regarding any wrongdoing or malpractice without being
subject to victimisation or discrimination treatment and to
have such concern properly investigated.
As a public listed entity, we strictly abide by the governing
Acts, authorities, rules and regulations. Any dealing, buying or
selling of DRB-HICOM shares by employees is undertaken very
carefully to avoid the implications of insider trading laws.
We handle many forms of transactions and undertake various
types of business activities. Any form of business undertakings
are carefully attended to, to avoid the implications of money
laundering as defined by statutory laws.
We are pleased to report that there was no incident or
penalty for violation at any time during the period under
review. We are also pleased to report that there was no
significant incident or penalty for non-compliance with laws
and regulations at any time during this reporting period.

Our Community
We recognise our responsibility to manage the impact of our
business on the community. Our longstanding community
engagement has allowed the Company to grow and
develop together. We continue our proactive approach to
the community and improve our ability to measure the
effectiveness of these efforts.
In order to deliver a more effective community
approach, we encourage our subsidiaries to implement
their CR programmes which are vital to their
nature of business. We continue to support these
initiatives and build effective collaboration
between subsidiary companies for mutual benefit.
Programmes are determined according to
community needs and there are three strategic
core themes on which we focus.

were used to purchase educational materials, co-curricular

The initiative was proven successful when it broke the
school’s record by having three straight A’s UPSR scorers. We
conducted a Social Return on Investment (SROI) calculation
to measure the social value created by the School Adoption
Programme. This calculation was completed by incorporating
the social, environmental and economic costs and benefits
involved in the programme during FYE 2011. It also considers
the financial proxy of each investment. The SROI for the
Student Adoption Programme is RM2.91; for every Ringgit
spent, RM2.91 of social value is created.
The Star-Newspaper-in-Education (NiE) Programme
We participated in the Star NIE Programme by adopting
15 selected schools in the Klang Valley, Pahang and Kedah
by providing the weekly NIE pullout to these schools. NIE
is an acronym for ‘Newspaper in Education’. This exciting
programme uses newspaper articles and resources in schools
as an educational tool. We are pleased with the feedback
received that suggests this teaching method has helped
energise classrooms, enhance critical thinking, increase
vocabulary, and improve skills in subjects such as English,
History, Mathematics, Geography and Science while building
students’ awareness of world events.
School Adoption Programme by HICOM Power
Sdn. Bhd. (HPSB)
HPSB adopted Sekolah Kebangsaan Serkat, located in Mukim
Serkat, Pontian, Johor. This is in-line with its commitment to

The Development of International College of
Automotive (ICAM)
The International College of Automotive (ICAM) is managed
by HICOM University College Sdn. Bhd. (HUSCB), a wholly
owned subsidiary of DRB-HICOM Berhad. The establishment
of ICAM as an Institution of Higher Learning was approved by
the Ministry of Higher Education in April 2010.
ICAM’s holistic and unique automotive education model
would enable it to support its vision of becoming a Leader
in Automotive Education. ICAM helps to drive the national
automotive industry forward by addressing the skill and
knowledge gap of the nation. ICAM will also help to produce
the competent workforce which will attract more foreign
investments and improves the New Economic Model of the
Government. The vision of ICAM is becoming the Leader in
Automotive Education which also includes the making of
Pekan Automotive Complex as the home of ICAM, which
houses state-of-the-art automotive technologies.
The first intake in March 2010 included 75 employees from
the Group’s auto companies, and by March 2011, 34% of
the offers were taken up by the local public. ICAM keeps
abreast with the latest technological advances to remain
competitive by leveraging on premium global auto brands
who are DRB-HICOM business partners such as Mercedes,
Audi, Volkswagen, Honda and Suzuki.
Progressively, three additional home grown diploma
programmes were developed and launched during ICAM’s
second intake in September 2010:
At the initial stage of operations in March 2010, ICAM
offered three home grown diploma programmes:
• Diploma in Automotive Management Systems (DMS)
As the industry leader, we are pleased to see the growth of
ICAM’s home grown diploma programmes. The following two
additional courses will be introduced in September 2011:
• Diploma in Vehicle Assembly Management (DVA)
• Diploma in Procurement and Vendor Development
• Diploma in Vehicle Inspection (DVI)
• Diploma in Enterprise Resource Planning
• Diploma in Automotive Service Technology (DST)
• Diploma in Automotive Retail Management (DRM)
• Diploma in Automotive Parts Management (DPM)

DEVELOPMENT
ICAM to Boost Nation Building
Under the 10th Malaysia Plan (RMK10), the Government
is targeting the technical and vocational education
opportunities to reach at least 37% of highly skilled
workers by 2015. Currently it stands at 23%. Given that
the core business of DRB-HICOM is in automotive, it is
imperative that we steer the development of the skilled
and knowledgable workers in the areas of automotive and
automotive related industries towards building the Group’s
expertise for sustainable growth of its core business.
ICAM’s objectives are strongly aligned with the New
Economic Policy (NEP) which is an economic transformation
designed by the Government to build momentum and
confidence in the mindset of citizens that more changes
will emerge, reformed along with few strategic initiatives.
ICAM approaches are directly complementing the NEP
deliverables which include:
• Developing a high quality workforce
• Building infrastructure for a knowledge base
• Enhancing the sources of growth and its sustainability
ICAM’s motives are also aligned with the Economic
Transformation Programme (ETP). The ETP introduced by the
Malaysian Government has prioritised the investments in
12 National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs), one of which is
education. Through ICAM, we aim to create additional work
opportunities in this area.

Scheduled Waste Management
We comply with the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulations 2005 which
outlines the policies on the disposal, treatment, storage and labelling of scheduled waste.
Our scheduled waste is disposed off or treated at prescribed premises only. Identified
toxic scheduled waste and its respective waste code in HICOM-Teck See is categorised
in the Scheduled Waste Notification Form. Waste chemicals and empty chemical bottles,
containers, cans and drums for reclamation or disposition are delivered to the central waste
collection. Plastic wrappers or sacks used for chemicals may be disposed as normal rubbish
at the dump yard.
At PHN, schedule waste is disposed on weekly/bimonthly basis and is categorised according
to the type of waste:
•SW – 410 : contaminated rags, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and absorbents
•SW – 409 : contaminated container
•SW – 306 : waste oil
Management of Hazardous Waste
Schedule waste generated by DRB-HICOM is stored temporarily in-house and kept in the
designated storage area with adequate spillage or leakage prevention construction. All liquid
scheduled waste is kept in 45-gallons drums to prevent spillage or leakage with proper labels
and seals. This label includes the quantity and category of scheduled waste, treatment and
disposal. Hazardous chemicals are labelled according to OSHA (Classification, Packaging and
Labelling of Hazardous Chemical) Regulations 1997. This waste is sent to the DOE licensed
contractors for treatment.
HICOM Teck-See practices very strict health, safety and environmental management on
the storage of hazardous chemicals. All incompatible materials are stored in different
compartments. Its health, safety and environmental policy explicitly states that all organic
solvents should be stored in labelled polyethylene or polyethylene lined containers and
are stored away from acids, alkalis or oxidizers. Flammable chemicals that are stored in the
production line must be stored in the approved safety cabinet. We expect all subsidiaries
to conduct decontamination activities when an area is no longer used for storing, mixing or
any activity involving chemicals. The following information must be available on the label
of any hazardous waste:

MINIMISING ENVIRONMENTAL Impacts FROM OPERATIONS
We continue to research and implement initiatives to minimise our environmental impacts from day-to-day operations. Compliance with relevant laws and regulations is our base target but
we will continue to aim to achieve a more significant positive impact.
Impact from Transportation
We continue to regularly inspect smoke emission levels from our operating vehicles according to our Planned Preventive
Maintenance (PPM) schedule. We are pleased to report that to date, we have not received any issues or complaints from the
Department of Environment.
Alam Flora sends the collected waste to a transfer station prior to sending them to a landfill to compress waste and minimise
spillage. Our leachate rectification programme helps to mitigate major spillage during operations. The newly installed larger
leachate storage on all vehicles has significantly reduced the incidence of leachate spillage and its accompanying problems. Our
leachate storage tanks have been upgraded to accommodate 700 litres from an initial 250 litres.
We are proud to report that there have been no cases of major spillage and complaints in collection and transportation during
this reporting period.
Impact from Air Quality
During FYE 2011, our ambient air quality levels were 100% in compliance with air quality guidelines.
Wastewater Discharge
We continue to monitor our wastewater discharge from our vehicle washing bays to ensure its compliance with the Sewage and
Industrial Effluents 1979. We only use chemicals for washing activity which are environmentally friendly and safe for workers.

BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION
Conservation of Lake Kenyir
Alam Flora Sdn. Bhd. (Alam Flora) organised a communal
tree planting event at an illegal dumping ground near Taman
Tasik Manjalara on 20 February 2010. The initiative prevents
the site from being reused as an illegal dumping ground and
to green its surroundings. The tree planting event themed
‘We Green The Environment’ was officiated by YBhg Dato’
Khalid Abdol Rahman, Group Director of Corporate Planning,
DRB-HICOM. More than 200 people from Alam Flora,
DRB-HICOM, Kuala Lumpur City Hall, Non-Governmental
Organisations, Resident Associations and Masjid Al-Imam AlGhazali took part in the event which includes activities such
as garbage collection and landscaping the area surrounding
the lake and parking areas around the mosque.
We spent RM10 million upgrading and refurbishing Lake
Kenyir Resort and Spa in a bid to position the resort on the
international tourism map. This largest lake in Malaysia spans
over 260,000 hectares and is a gateway to Taman Negara
known for its lush tropical jungle. Kenyir is also home to
9 species of hornbills in Asia.
We believe by incorporating Hornbill & National Park into our
logo is complementary to our focus on ECO Tourism. Policies
and implementations to conserve the environment include:
•Composting grass and trees that have been pruned
•Separating waste such as cans, paper and metal
•Special treatment of waste oil by third party suppliers
•Discharging sewerage plant water underground away
from the lake
•Prohibiting vehicles from driving around the Resort
•Prohibiting open fire at any parts of the Resort
•Planting holding plants and bushes in areas prone
to erosion
We continue to work with WWF and the Terengganu Wildlife
Department to nurture the flora and fauna in this 60 acres
area. Results show that our conservation efforts have been
positive as we have discovered an increase in the number
of species known as “Oriental Pied” from eight in 2007 to
34 in 2011. We have also discovered a significant increase in
the number of mammals around the Resort. We are pleased
to report that there has not been any habitat destruction or
disturbance in the area.
We have responded to climate change risks including the risk of
flooding during monsoon season by recently installing a lightning
arrestor which helps protect the asset and its surrounding.

WWF-Malaysia’s conservation efforts. The project aims to
educate the future generation and the Malaysian public
on environmental and conservation issues through various
activities. Honda Malaysia continues to raise awareness
among students on caring for the environment and living in
harmony with Mother Nature by focusing on this species.
The Sumatran Rhino is a critically endangered animal unique
to Malaysia and Borneo. The Honda Malaysia conservation
team travelled to four schools in Kedah to highlight the
Rhino conservation initiatives during the 2010 roadshows.
More than 850 students in Kedah from SK Jalan Datuk
Kumbar, SK Langgar, SRJK (C) Sin Kwang and SK Sungai
Petani attended the informative environmental talk. Honda
Malaysia has addressed over 8,800 primary school students
to play an important role to preserve the environment
to date. Since 2007, Honda Malaysia’s conservation team
has visited 48 schools in the Klang Valley, Penang, Johor,
Malacca, Kuantan, Ipoh, Perlis and Kedah.

Uni.Asia e-Waste Recycling Campaign
Uni.Asia General Insurance Berhad introduced a three-day
e-Waste Recycling Campaign, recognising that irresponsible
disposal of electrical components may contaminate our soil
and rivers. The Campaign was held as a joint-effort with
Alam Flora Sdn. Bhd. at Menara Uni.Asia which aimed at
encouraging responsible behaviour when disposing of used
and unwanted electronic equipment.
The Campaign has educated the public on the proper
way to dispose off e-waste which includes computers,
televisions, radios, VCD/DVD players, fax machines, copiers,
mobile phones, batteries, adaptors, chargers and other
electronic items that contain lead and mercury. A total of
RM919.60 was collected through the sale of 52 monitors, 74
CPUs and 298kg of other e-waste. The money raised was
donated to Persatuan Kebajikan Warga Tua dan Kanak-Kanak
in Kepong along with the RM1,851 cash donation, food,
clothes and groceries collected. Uni.Asia donated a lump
sum of RM5,000 in cash and household goods valued at
RM2,400 to this home.
Project Revive was held in Teluk Chempedak on 18 and 19
March 2011. The project was officiated by YBhg Dato’ Hoh
Kai Mun, Chairman of Jawatankuasa Kerajaan Tempatan, Alam
Sekitar dan Kesihatan Negeri Pahang. The main highlight
this year is the throwing of mud balls which is known
as an effective microorganism (EM) to improve the water
quality and revive aquatic life. The mud balls help stimulate
mangrove growth and break down the sludge deposited in
rivers and the seabed. Other activities include a beach cleanup, painting of beach amenities, environmental conservation
talks and an exhibition.
ALAM FLORA Recycling Campaign
Alam Flora participated in the recycling campaign hosted
by Jabatan Pengurusan Sisa Pepejal Negara (JPSPN) at SK
Ampang Pecah, Kuala Kubu Baru, on 24 April 2010. The
event was officially launched by YB Datuk Seri Panglima Haji
Lajim bin Haji Ukin, Deputy Minister of Housing and Local
Government. Alam Flora took the opportunity to boost
public environmental awareness by distributing educational
recycling materials. Other activities include tree planting, a
quiz and the introduction of recycling bins to the school.
Project REVIVE
We participated in Project Revive which is a roadshow
of green events around Malaysia organised by Revival
Productions Sdn. Bhd. We have been supporting this project
to increase the awareness among our employees and inspire
Malaysians to adopt a ‘Greener Living’ lifestyle. This year,
Alam Flora also organised a separate environmental awareness
talk in conjunction with Earth Day on 21 April 2010. The talk,
“Waste Management and Us”, was delivered by the Manager of
Quality Assurance and Environment Management Department
to employees and guests of Melia Hotel Kuala Lumpur which
was attended by friends from the media. Topics discussed
included waste reduction, recycling, carbon footprint and the
disposal of domestic and industrial waste.
Emission of Ozone-Depleting Substances
The ozone layer is essential for the survival of humans and
other animals. Certain gases including Chiorofluorocarbon
(CFC) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) damage the
ozone layer. We have committed to reduce our emission of
ozone-depleting gases, in line with the Montreal Protocol.
Part of the protocol requires phasing out the use of CFCs
by year 2012. Accordingly, we have introduced a Preventive
Maintenance programme to minimise breakdown cases
which requires the recharging of refrigerant gases such as
R12/22 (CFC/HCFC).
Other initiatives to minimise the risks resulting from chemicallyactive gases such as the carbon monoxide (CO) and other
halogenated ozone depleting substances (ODS) include:
•State-of-the-art ventilation, especially in our car park,
which includes a carbon monoxide detector
•High efficiency air-conditioning chillers
• Floor-by-floor air handling units
•Variable speed drive water pumps
The Glenmarie Asset & Management team closely monitors
the CO levels over time to ensure that we are not
contributing to the ozone layer depletion.
Green Procurement
In FYE 2011, our Procurement Department introduced
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) elements in its
invitation to bid. EPP, often referred to as “green purchasing”,
is the affirmative selection and acquisition of products
and services that most effectively minimise negative
environmental impacts over their life cycle of manufacturing,
transportation, use, recycling and disposal. Examples of
environmentally preferable characteristics specified by our
Procurement Department include products and services
that conserve energy and water; minimise the generation of
waste and release of pollutants; and products made from
recycled materials which can be reused or recycled.
Bidders are required to provide their company’s green
initiatives as part of their tender submission. In addition,
DRB-HICOM Group Companies adopt environmentally
preferred goods and services in support of the Green
Procurement commitment.

Sustainable Product – Green Technology
Under the revised National Automotive Policy in October
2009, the Government announced that local assemblers and
manufacturers of hybrid/electric vehicles and the development
of related infrastructure would be given 100% investment
tax allowance or pioneer status for a period of 10 years.
To promote this environmentally-friendly mission, 50%
exemption on excise duty for locally assembled/manufactured
hybrid or electric vehicles or provision of grants was also
introduced under the Industrial Adjustment Fund.
Currently, Honda Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. and UMW Toyota
Motor Sdn. Bhd. are the only two official franchise holders
offering their own hybrid models in Malaysia; the Honda
Civic Hybrid and Toyota Prius respectively. Relying on its
excellent quality, DRB-HICOM extended the warranty period
of the vehicles’ battery which is the driving force of these
hybrid’s electric motors. These green technology vehicles
are created to cater for exceptional fuel economy. They are
powered by Honda’s new generation of Integrated Motor
Assist (IMA) System that ingeniously recaptures and stores
kinetic energy from vehicle braking and deceleration and
supplies additional power for acceleration when required.
We also introduced the Ecological Drive Assist System (Eco
DRB-Hicom Berhad
36
Assist) which further improves vehicle fuel efficiency and
performance. Maintaining safety as our key focus, Honda
All-New Insight has obtained a 6-star JNCAP safety rating for
driver and 5-star JNCAP safety rating for passengers.
In the same year, MODENAS was heavily focused on finalising
its production plan of CTric, the first electric bike in South
East Asia. CTric will also create history by being a vehicle
which is fully developed, assembled and manufactured in
Malaysia. It uses 80 per cent local components and 20 per
cent from China. Recent Research and Development shows
that this electric bike will result in 30% saving through its eagle
glide system. CTric uses a nano gel battery concept which
prevents spillage during accidents. We aim to boost Malaysia’s
competitive edge through this innovation which is in-line with
the Government’s mission of economic development.

Setting a Solid Foundation
The foundation of HMS lies in strategic thinking, effective employee participation
and having a visual workplace. HMS helps to promote a conducive environment
whereby all employees strive to deliver exceptionally commendable products
or services to all stakeholders in relation to quality, cost, timeliness, safety
and environment. In achieving this, HMS emphasises good implementation of
5S and Autonomous Maintenance.
5S is a concept of workplace methodology to organise work space for efficiency and
effectiveness by identifying and storing items used, maintaining the area and sustaining
the new order. It also helps to instil ownership of the workplace and processes in each
employee. The following depicts the iterative step-by-step 5S principles for people to
become naturally disciplined and organised, hence setting good image while being ready to
attract new businesses.
1S - Seiri (Sort)

Autonomous Maintenance (AM) refers to the activities where employees are trained to
perform basic maintenance activities independent of the maintenance department. The goal of
the AM initiative is to develop knowledgeable workers who are responsible for ensuring:
• The prevention of equipment deterioration
• The restoration of equipment to its optimum state
•That basic conditions are established to maintain equipment
The introduction of AM in Manufacturing and Engineering Sector was proven successful as
contamination levels were significantly reduced in FYE 2011 and self-initiated improvements
have also been escalated. This has been replicated to other Group companies as a result of
this success. Basic equipment condition is satisfied through the following three steps:
I. INITIAL CLEANING
1.Perform 3S :
•Seiri
: Sort needed and unneeded items. Dispose the unneeded items
•Seiton : Arrange needed items and label
•Seiso : Clean and Restore
2.Clean machine/tooling from dirt or foreign material
3.Provide lubrication where necessary
4.Look for abnormalities and perform restoration
5. Identify hard to clean areas
II. COUNTERMEASURES TO SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION
1.Analyse each contaminant issue to identify the root cause. A cleaning checklist was
introduced which highlights each area of concern, tools required for cleaning and
scheduled cleaning activities.
III. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
1.Ensure lubrication of relevant reciprocating, sliding and rotating parts.
2.Monitor lubricant level and see to it that:
• The lubricant supply unit is working properly
•Oil is at the correct level
•No damaged pipes or tubes
•No leakage from valves or fittings
•No clogging to the pipes or valves
•Adequate lubricant on the lubricating surface
•No over-heating

HMS Expansion Group-Wide
Quality Management System
The sucess of HMS in cascading and propagating best
practices in the Manufacturing and Engineering companies,
we officially promoted the system to the other sectors
within the Group in FYE 2011. Promoted initiatives include
5S, Continuous Improvement Programme and Employee
Suggestion Scheme. HMS has now become an abbreviation
for HICOM Management System; replacing the previous
abbreviation of HICOM Manufacturing System. This is due to
many initiatives becoming applicable across all other sectors
and industries.
Our commitment to ensuring quality products and services
is also evident in our subsidiaries which are certified to
ISO 9001 and ISO TS 16949. These standards help to direct
and control the quality of our products and services. We
strive to go beyond compliance. In FYE 2011, various quality
monitoring initiatives were also introduced such as Poka Yoke
(mistake proofing), Six Sigma and Value Stream Mapping.
The relevance of best practices was made more evident by
conducting benchmarking visits, in addition to awareness
trainings on the initiatives. For the first time, companies from
all sectors were subjected to HMS Assessment in FYE 2011.
We are pleased to announce its successful implementation
which was justified by the achievement of Bronze Level HMS
implementation by all companies.
Continuous Improvement Programme
In realising the need for a continuous team-based
improvement programme, we organised Innovative Quality
Circle (ICC) Convention and Quality Improvement Team (QIT),
for non-executives and executives of subsidiary companies.
A recent convention held during FYE 2011 was attended by
companies from Manufacturing and Engineering, Services,
Property and Auto Distribution sectors. The objectives
of the event were to encourage the culture of sharing
challenges, develop healthy competition among subsidiaries
and to promote the importance of continuous improvement
programmes such as ICC to our subsidiaries.
We are confident that programmes such as ICC are able to
encourage the development of more innovative procedures
which continuously improves our business processes.
It also emphasises the process of planning, brainstorming,
monitoring, standardising and horizontal replication.
DRB-Hicom Berhad

A historic collaboration between DRB-HICOM and
Volkswagen has been finalised to assemble vehicles for
the Malaysian and ASEAN markets. VDA 6.3 has been
introduced to ensure high quality products as a result of
this partnership. Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA) or
the Association of The Automotive Industry is a German
interest group of the German automobile industry; the VDA
6.1 is a German quality standard certification initiated by
the automobile industry. The VDA standard is divided into
Management and Products; and Processes. In addition to
the basic requirements of a Quality Management System, it
also considers the special product-related requirements of
Volkswagen purchased parts, the production processes, and
special technical inspection requirements. Having realised its
importance, VDA 6.3 awareness training has been conducted
during June 2011 to the VW Project team members.
SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT
We practice strict procurement ethics which promotes fair
dealing and prevent abuse. Our procurement policy also
favours the appointment of local vendors and suppliers.
Currently, more than 95% of our vendors and suppliers are
sourced locally.
During 2010, our subsidiary, Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad
started to implement the e-procurement system to maximise
efficiency, reduce cost and to conserve the environment by
reducing paper waste. All transactions are done electronically.
The audit trail module eases the control and monitoring of
compliances. Vendors’ pre-qualifying evaluation includes social
and environmental components such as the status of vendors’
ISO 14001 standards and quality assurance standards.
PRODUCT RESPONSIBILITY
Product Life-Cycle – Health and Safety Impacts
During the product life cycle process, rigorous assessments on their implication to the
environment were conducted.
In the whole product-life-cycle stages depicted below, careful assessments have been
carried out to make informed decisions on how to mitigate the respective safety, health and
environmental impacts. The assessments range from material assessment during Research and
Development to avoid usage of hazardous substances, foresee risks during product testing by
conducting pertinent product lab test, to handling of rescheduled waste are observed.
Meanwhile, all quality Management systems (ISO 9001, ISO TS16949, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001)
will ensure there are adequate activities leading to the attainment of quality requirement,
planning, and compliance with regard to safety, health and environment.

Product Life-Cycle – Health and Safety Impacts
We have a few mechanisms for our automotive division to gauge customer satisfaction level.
These include:
Market Survey
Service Campaign onducted each year by region and selected dealers based on
C
the product populations and intended focus areas. It is done for
new model and current models available in the market to monitor
satisfaction levels. This focuses mainly on product acceptance,
product quality and reliability, after-sales services and spare parts.
T his activity is conducted by our Service Department by offering
free services to the customer and promoting awareness for proper
maintenance of motorcycles. Survey questionnaires are distributed to
customers to provide feedback on products they are currently using.
Service Centres Service centres are a mechanism to obtain feedback from
customers on the level of satisfaction after using our
product. Service centres forward the survey questionnaires
to the customer. Any comment and improvement required
is channelled to the QMT for product improvements.
b)On-Line Satisfaction Poll
Direct users have the opportunity to provide feedback on
issues related to our products and services through the
Internet. Comments received are reviewed by the Website
Committee before being escalated to the management
Customer Privacy
DRB-HICOM’S CRM module limits access to detailed customer contact lists. This secured layered access
to data on clients is instrumental in preventing any breaches of customer privacy. Information affecting
corporate bodies, customers and employees cannot be disclosed in any manner without proper
authorisation. The obligation of employees to protect and preserve such proprietary, confidential or
sensitive information continues even after leaving the service of the Company. Customer privacy is
protected and regulated throughout DRB-HICOM’S Code of Ethics. There have not been any breaches
in customer privacy or loss of customer data during the period under review.
PUSPAKOM and Safety
PUSPAKOM together with the Road Transport Department (JPJ), Department of Environment
(DOE) and National Anti-Drug Agency (NADA) conducted a road block exercise on
2 April 2010 at the Kajang bus station in Selangor. The exercise targeted drivers of commercial
DRB-Hicom Berhad
46
vehicles, particularly public buses and taxis, which did not comply with JPJ guidelines. This
was supported by Encik Hisham Othman, PUSPAKOM’s CEO who promoted public awareness
of vehicle safety by spot checking tyres, seats, fire extinguishers, smoke emission level
and inspection certificates. Fines issued during the event include 20 summonses for non-compliance on
road safety, five fines for excessive smoke emission and three drivers who tested positive for drugs.
PUSPAKOM Premier Mobile Inspection (PMI)
PUSPAKOM offers inspection services of both passenger and commercial vehicles and is the
sole company for computerised vehicle inspection in Malaysia. PMI is currently available in
the Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Bahru. The types of inspection offered include engine
number inspection, chassis number inspection, cut and joint inspection, visual inspection,
undercarriage inspection and tinted glass inspection.
The Hire-Purchase Act requires motorists wishing to sell their vehicles to send the cars for a
comprehensive 18-point inspection by Puspakom before entering into a hire-purchase agreement.
The inspection will include computerised testing for smoke emission, brakes, side-slip and
suspension. Puspakom has been appointed by Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi
dan Kepenggunaaan (KPDNKK) to undertake this inspection which is known as HPI inspection.
MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION RESPONSIBILITY
Effective communication is the key to our business efficiency and profitability both within
the organisation and between our organisation and our customers. Employees are encouraged
to accept responsibility for the quality of communication with our customers. Each contact
with a customer in person, on the phone or by mail is regarded as an opportunity to
improve the quality of communication between us and the people whose needs we serve.
Alam Flora’s operational employees are equipped with a two-way communication system for
immediate field contact to act quickly on requests and complaints. This includes a customer
care counter for walk in customers, toll-free line, email, fax and letters. Their in house magazine,
“FLORA”, is distributed periodically to disseminate our services information and build a culture of
clean environment. FLORA is available to all employees, shareholders and stakeholders.
Training is being provided to all sales and marketing personnel each time a new product is
introduced into the market. Training is also provided to dealers. We conduct a Defensive Training
Module for end-users to educate them on product usage, safety and maintenance. Information
to end users is available through media advertisements (newspaper, magazine), streamer, radio
commercial, brochures, forums, blog, website banners, email blast and road shows.
We are pleased to report that there have been no significant incidents of non-compliance
with regulations and voluntary codes relating to marketing communications and labelling
during this period.

EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES
Good Conduct at Work
We introduced the Code of Ethics & Business Practices (COEBP) to ensure that employees understand
and practice the expectations of the Company with regard to good conduct. We take appropriate
disciplinary action against any employee for misconduct or inefficiency at work.
We are committed to provide fair and equitable treatment to employees and maintaining a workplace
free from discrimination, harassment and retaliation.
We continue to play our role in developing the economy of Malaysia by providing work opportunities
to local citizens. Only in situations where specialised expertise is required but not available locally,
consideration will be given to relevant foreign experts or specialists for the specified period of
assignment. We are mindful that there is a cost to society and to the nation in employing foreign
workers. However, our hiring policy is fair and non-discriminatory.
Employment Diversity and Fair Pay Policy
There are no disparities in pay between men and women. All employees receive the same pay regardless
of gender. Although there is no minimum wage law in Malaysia, our base salary is competitive and
includes performance-based incentives and rewards. Our salary ratio between men and women is 1:1.
Notice period for Operational Change
Any operational changes occurring that may potentially affect our employees will be communicated
throughout the Group. The Group Human Capital Department is required to send notices to all
employees via email or other electronic modes. These platforms are used by the management to
communicate updates and changes within the Group. We recognise the importance of having a two-way
dialogue between the Management and employees, regardless of major or minor changes.
Women Empowerment
We support the United Nations Millennium Development Goals which include the empowerment of women.
We have taken a historic step in accelerating the Company’s goals on gender equality and the development
of women. We consider gender equality a basic human right and acknowledge that, its achievement has
enormous socio-economic implications. We believe that empowering women fuels thriving economies,
spurring productivity and growth. We are pleased to present the positive results of our actions through the
significant increase in the number of female senior managers in the Company during this reporting period.

Employees Rights
We continue to inspire our female employees to grow as
women entrepreneurs. We contributed RM10,000 to E-Women
which is a one-stop-centre portal for current affairs, business
ideas, events, business trends and other enterprise issues. The
portal also regularly shares inspiring news on women’s success
stories and provides the opportunity for participants to network
with other women’s organisations in the country and overseas.
The E-Women portal was officially launched by YBhg Dato
Maznah Mazlan, Malaysia’s Deputy Minister of Human Capital.
It was supported by the Federation of Women Entrepreneurs
Associations, SME Corp Sdn. Bhd. and the Ministry of Women,
Family and Community Development.
In addition, we appreciate the important role of a woman
particularly during pregnancy. All female employees and wives
of employees are entitled to maternity treatments which
include pre and post-natal expenses for up to five child
deliveries at our panel clinics and hospitals.
Sexual Harassment
We fully support the rights and opportunities of all
employees to employment without discrimination. We
recognise that sexual harassment is an unlawful and
inappropriate behaviour which lowers morale and interferes
with work effectiveness. Sexual harassment in any form
constitutes misconduct.
Sexual harassment means unwanted conduct of sexual
nature, requests for sexual favours, conduct based on sex or
other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature directed
against an employee which is offensive to the said employee.
An employee who makes a false or fabricated accusation of
sexual harassment shall be subjected to disciplinary action.
Employees found guilty of either harassment or making
false accusation shall be guilty of an offence attracting
punishment which may include dismissal.

We recognise that respecting the human rights of employees
is our most basic responsibility. We have introduced our
Human Capital Policy which covers human rights issues such
as policies on collective bargaining and discrimination. This
Policy is also incorporated in our procurement practices,
with human rights screening as standard clauses in supplier
and contractor contracts. All our Human Rights practices
are monitored with regular internal audits. Our Human
Rights training programmes address issues of discrimination
and our diversity policy. We conduct Labour Law training
for employees including our subsidiary companies. Training

Appreciating Heritage through Art
The senior management of DRB-HICOM and CEOs of
its group of companies visited the Islamic Arts Museum
Malaysia (IAMM) which is Southeast Asia’s largest museum
dedicated to Islamic arts on 8 July 2010. The IAMM complex
occupies 30,000 square metres, houses more than 7,000
artifacts and boasts an exceptional library of Islamic arts
and books. Employees enjoyed the artifacts and objects on
display including collections of Qurans, weapons, jewellery
and architecture which represent Islamic civilisations from
the Middle East, Europe and Asia. The museum was built by
the Albukhary Foundation and serves as a centre to promote
Islamic studies and culture.
Secretaries Amazing Race
A total of 52 secretaries from all DRB-HICOM Group of
companies were treated to an “amazing race” which ended
in Kenyir. The programme started with a visit to KLAS where
participants were brought for a tour around the in-flight
catering kitchen and preparation areas to learn the ropes
of in-flight food and beverages operations. The team then
flew to Kenyir for a three-day, two-night retreat where they
were entertained with fun-filled activities, courses on soft
skills and team building programmes. The retreat ended with
an appreciation dinner which was attended by our Group
Managing Director, senior management, general managers
and all committee members.
Staff Welfare Fund
Our Staff Welfare Fund (SWF) was established on 17 April
2007. Money for this fund is sourced from voluntary monthly
contributions from subscribing member employees. SWF is
utilised for the purpose of aiding subscribers (including their
immediate family members) who are in need of financial
assistance to seek medical treatment for critical illness.
It also assists subscribers who face financial constraint
resulting from Acts of God (natural disasters). Critical illness
is defined as a condition which is terminal or life threatening
in nature. As of March 2011, the total contribution to the
fund was RM 707,000.
The monthly contribution by subscribing employees varies
according to their level of appointment as tabulated below:

Pn Esliza Elias (Property, Asset & Construction
Division) - “At 35-weeks of pregnancy, I was diagnosed
with Hellp Syndrome, a life-threatening complication
which caused pregnancy induced hypertension. After
consulting the doctor, my unique case was referred
to Damansara Specialist Hospital (DSH). I safely
gave birth to a baby girl on 18 November 2009 via
c-section. My hypertension condition had deteriorated
following my post-delivery condition that I was placed
under an induced comma and warded in ICU. Upon
regaining consciousness, I was billed with a huge sum
of RM113,517.85 (HELLP syndrome complications)
+ RM8,033.00 (c-section delivery). I was fortunate to
have DRB-HICOM to subsidise the cost of my HELLP
syndrome complication and the remaining from the
generous contribution of SWF.”
Rewarding Our Employees’ Children
A total of RM61,150 was given to 149 children of DRB-HICOM
employees who excelled in the national school examinations.
This includes 82 Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) students,
64 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) students and 3 Sijil Tinggi
Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) students who obtained a minimum
of 6As for PMR, 5As for SPM and 2As for STPM. This is part
of delivering our commitment in giving back to employees
and their families. We believe this approach will help to boost
education excellence in the country and encourage the children
of our employees to continue excelling in their studies.
CONTINUOUS LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
In FYE 2011, our training budget was RM1.867 million and the average total training hours per
employee was 222.31; mainly due to nine weeks of basic police tranning for the Auxiliary
Police personnel recruited during the financial year.
on performance is represented on the scale from 1.00 to 5.00. The Human Capital division
reviews and finalises the overall performance ratings with respective heads of departments
to ensure fair and equitable ratings. This PMS is linked to other human resource matters
including but not limited to:
• Increment
e-Training/e-Learning
•Bonus
In 2010, we finalised the new concept of
e-Training/e-Learning which is going to
be introduced in the next financial year.
The concept of e-Learning is introduced
to compliment traditional classroom
instructor lead training programmes. We
hope that knowledge gained from attending
classroom training can be retained and
enhanced through this approach.

Financial Training for Non-Financial Managers
Finance for Non-Finance Managers is designed to provide employees with an understanding
of financial management principles and equip employees with the practical skills to develop
informed and effective financial plans. Employees were exposed to critical skills in analysing
financial statements and understanding corporate finance, key financial indicators, strategic
management and the financial planning process in more depth.
This workshop enables employees to contribute to discussions about the financial
performance of the organisation or business unit, giving the employees the confidence
to make decisions based on financial data. In FYE 2011, 16 employees were trained under
this programme.
Performance Management System (PMS)
We continue to implement a fair and effective performance review process where both
employee and his/her immediate superior are responsible for completing the appraisal
process. The PMS system is being practiced by all employees (100%). This provides a process
of shared understanding between the Management and employees on the Company’s
business goals and directions by way of an enabling tool for an individual and organisation
to optimise performance. The objectives/targets cascading process from the top ensures
that all employees are aligned towards common goals.
We understand the need for an on-going business system that supports its strategic
direction and links individual and team performance with business goals and objectives.
PMS is core to all aspects of rewards, career development, human capital planning and
organisational growth. All employees are required to complete PMS forms at the beginning
of each financial year. An interim review is conducted between appraiser/appraisee during
mid-year, followed by a final review at the end of each financial year. The agreed rating

The performance of the Group Managing Director, Group Chief Operating Officer, Heads
of Divisions at Corporate Office, and CEOs and CFOs of Group of companies is measured
through the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) system. The reward is directly tied to KPI
achievement level through the execution of the KPI-Performance Contract which specifies
the bonus entitlements for achieving certain level of performance. The minimum threshold to
qualify for bonus is at 90% achievement level. Achievements above 100% level, on the other
hand, qualify for discretionary bonus consideration, over and above performance bonus.
LABOUR RELATIONS AND MANAGEMENT
Collective Agreement
We adopted the collective bargaining system to ensure industrial peace and harmony in the
Group of companies by providing a mutually beneficial economic and social relationship
between the employers and trade unions in matters affecting terms and conditions of
service of the employees. The resulting collective agreement helps to clarify the rights
and responsibilities of the company and its employees to achieve greater success in the
performance and stability of the company. Currently, 5,290 employees are members of
in-house unions whilst 3,613 are members of recognised national unions at their worksites.

ESS Programme is coordinated by a team who report to the ESS Committee. We encourage
inter-departments to share their opinions as abnormalities which may be more obvious

Awareness Training for Serious Diseases
Although all employees receive medical insurance and benefits, the Company is committed to take one step ahead in fighting the spread of serious diseases. The case of Influenza A (H1N1)
that attacked our country has infected a serious number of citizens. In responding to this issue, DRB-HICOM conducted a comprehensive education programme, providing all employees with
guidelines on prevention. The Company also displayed awareness posters at strategic points of the building, including all subsidiaries.

Assurance Statement
Assurance Statement
DRB-HICOM BERHAD
(Company No: 203430-W)
Introduction
Exclusions from the scope of our work
OWW Consulting Sdn. Bhd. (OWW) is a specialist in Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) and Socially Responsible Investment (SRI). We were engaged by DRB-HICOM Berhad
(“DRB-HICOM”) to provide assurance services for various aspects of their Sustainability
Report 2011 (the “Report”).
Excluded from the scope of our work is information relating to:
The Report and its contents are the exclusive responsibility of DRB-HICOM. Our responsibility
is to perform limited assurance procedures over the Report and underlying processes within
the scope set out below:
•Statements of commitment or intention to undertake action in the future
•Statements of opinion, belief or aspiration
•Information in internal or external documents referred to in the Report, except insofar
as we have viewed their existence as part of the assurance process
• Economic
Basis of our opinion
•Social Performance: Labour Practices & Decent Work
In conducting this engagement we have considered the principles of balance, comparability,
accuracy, timeliness, clarity, relevance and reliability as in the Global Reporting Initiative
(GRI) G3 Guidelines.
•Social Performance: Human Rights
•Social Performance: Society
•Social Performance: Product Responsibility
• Environmental
In each case verification was conducted through low-level assurance via information
provided by DRB-HICOM.
It is agreed that DRB-HICOM expects to be able to provide a response to each of the
GRI-G3 Guideline Protocols and to meet an A+ or Advanced Application Level which requires
reporting on each of the core GRI-G3 indicators, even if the report is an omission statement.
DRB-Hicom Berhad
78
We have also taken into account the principles of independence of assurance in the GRIG3 Guidelines and have been mindful of the AA1000AS and the the International Standard
on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3000) although we have not been asked to apply these
standards directly.
We have conducted this engagement to provide a reasonable rather than an absolute level
of assurance and we believe that the work conducted and described herein provides a
reasonable basis for our conclusions.
Our review included the following activities:
•Interviews and one-to-one meetings with relevant personnel at corporate and subsidiaries
level responsible for the information in the Report
•Interviews and one-to-one meetings with relevant external stakeholders related to
DRB-HICOM activities, including Heads of Department
•Documentary evidence was reviewed from communications meant for both internal
and external circulation but coming from within DRB-HICOM. This included manually
generated internal reports, performance data, internal policy documents, established
codes of conduct, corporate presentations, reports on events and information on safety
procedures at DRB-HICOM
•Observed related facilities and areas including notice boards, management offices, traffic
monitoring centre
•Challenges and questions related to the CSR related statements and claims made in
the Report
During our investigation we discussed the necessary changes in the Report with DRB-HICOM
personnel and determined that these changes have been adequately incorporated into the
final version. We relied on representations made to us during the course of our assurance
work by DRB-HICOM personnel.
Information in the Report that is directly sourced from DRB-HICOM Annual Report is
considered to be reliable based on the audit statement of the Independent Chartered
Accountant and Registered Auditor to these statements.
We provided advice on which data is necessary and how this data could be compiled
to comply with the GRI-G3 Guidelines. All data and corrections were provided directly by
DRB-HICOM staff. In the same reporting period we have not provided any other advisory
work for DRB-HICOM which may have been used in this report.
Conclusions
1.In our opinion, the Report meets the content and quality requirements of the Global
Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (Version GRI-G3);
2.The Report provides a fair representation of DRB-HICOM’s social accounting and
reporting activity for the period covered by the Report;
3.The information in the Report is reliable and free from significant bias;
4.DRB-HICOM has processes in place for identifying, understanding and managing its
environmental and social responsibilities and for capturing, understanding and responding
to the views of its main stakeholders;
5.In our opinion the report contains new information in each domain which we believe
is a fair and balanced reflection of the efforts of DRB-HICOM to develop and improve
their approach to sustainability and reporting.

Recommendations:
In the context of future CSR Reporting at DRB-HICOM, we recommend that the Company:
29 June 2011
OWW Consulting Sdn. Bhd.
•Continues to improve the use of performance indicators
•Continues to improve the scope and quality of measurement and reporting of
environmental data
•Introduces clearer links between CSR issues and financial performance
•Extends the use of impact measures such as Social Return on Investment (SROI) and

•Implements GHG reduction programmes to identify and reduce overall GHG equivalent
emissions
•Introduces processes for the ongoing monitoring, measurement and reporting of
DRB-HICOM against material indicators and targets to demonstrate ongoing commitment
to the reporting process and stakeholder interests
Considerations and limitations
In relation to our assurance work and conclusions, the following considerations and
limitations should be noted:
•Certain information is excluded from the scope of our assurance work, as stated above
and in the Report itself
•Due to its nature and the methods used for determining, calculating or estimating
such data, environmental and social data are subject to inherent limitations. Therefore
this assurance statement should not be relied upon to detect all errors, omissions or
misstatements in the Report
•The assurance statement cannot guarantee the quality of social accounting and reporting
processes used by DRB-HICOM
