Over the last few years, the Naim Group has donated generously to various social and charitable organizations. However, following the Group’s listing, the Board felt it necessary for the sake of transparency and good corporate governance, for the bulk of the Group’s charitable activities to be directed through a dedicated special purpose vehicle. Therefore the Group set up the Tabung Amanah Naim (Naim Trust Fund) on 12 September 2004. The fund was launched with a corporate donation from the Naim Group and personal donations from the Directors. These sums are topped-up and expanded on an annual basis by donations from the Group and its subsidiaries. The Fund is controlled by a Board of Trustee and has the following objectives:

• To provide assistance, scholarship, incentives or awards for the establishment or excellence in educational or research work in Malaysia
• To provide assistance for the relief of distress amongst the Malaysian public.
• To provide assistance for the promotion of national unity through sports, arts and culture in Malaysia.
• To provide contributions for the purposes of religious worship or advancement of religion.
• To make donations for other patriotic or charitable purposes.

The Trustees consists of the following members:-

1. Datuk Abdul Hamed bin Sepawi.
2. Mr. James Alexander Ritchie
3. Mr. Kho Teng Hong @ Kho Teng Kwang
4. Mr. Mohamad Basri Bin Rahmat
