Through our initiative called the 'The Big Day Out', all GAB employees were given one working day off to carry out planned charities of their choice.

GAB Employees across the country were challenged to come up with impactful activities or work with a non-profit organisation or a charity of their choice focusing on one of the Foundation’s three key pillars – Environmental Conservation, Education and Community. Employees worked in teams and were allocated seed money for their activity.

More than 500 employees across the country participated in 31 different community projects in July this year , which included beach cleaning; repair and maintenance works in nursing homes and child welfare centres; helping the less fortunate; organising a charity car wash and cup cakes sale to raise additional funds and more.

Based on the success of our first pilot project, we hope to continue this programme annually.
