Axiata Sustainability

Advancing Our People & Communities

How we empower people and pave the way for communities to thrive

Advancing Asia is our purpose as an organisation, and this means advancing its people above all.

Our responsibility here starts with our own employees, for whom we strive to create engaging and innovative workplaces that inculcate Modern, Agile and Digital (M.A.D) ways of working. By the same token, we embrace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and advocate employee wellbeing, desiring for our employees to feel valued for the unique perspectives they bring to the table and supported in their holistic needs.

Beyond our own four walls, we empower socioeconomic development through long-term programmes in education, community development and environment while leveraging technology-based approaches to support communities in times of need.

Our Social Impact Journey

From the launch of our flagship talent development programme to our Group-wide commitment to diversity, our approach to social issues has grown more robust and wide-ranging over the years.
