From a small tin-mining company established in 1974, Sunway Group has thrived to become one of Malaysia’s most formidable property-construction groups, with a multitude of established businesses in more than 40 locations worldwide. Sunway Group's core businesses consist of an Integrated Properties division which is a consolidation of its Property Development, Hospitality, Retail, Leisure and commercial properties in Malaysia as well as overseas. Other business divisions include Construction, Trading & Manufacturing, Quarry, Building Materials, Healthcare, Education and Information Technology. The Group’s legendary development which has garnered international recognition is the thriving 800 acre Sunway Integrated Resort City in Bandar Sunway, an engineering tour de force, located a mere 20 minutes from Malaysia’s capital city of Kuala Lumpur. The township stands as an icon for human endeavour, innovation and forwardness, as it was literally resurrected from a derelict mining land. With over 7 million sq ft of world-class facilities, the Sunway Integrated Resort City attracts an annual visitation of 30 million. The City comprises more than 7,000 residential, commercial and light industrial units. It is an ideal and highly sought-after place to live, work, study, play and shop, and stands as the only Integrated Resort City in Malaysia with six key components, epitomizing Sunway’s trademark “Resort Living Within A City” concept. It remains today as one of the region’s most preferred tourist destinations. Visionary leadership, perceptive and transparent corporate policies, and synergistic teamwork have shaped the Group into becoming what it is today – a leader in all areas it specializes in. Sunway is the only Malaysian organization in the Asia Pacific region that was ranked sixth in the Hewitt-Fortune-RBL Top Companies for Leaders 2007 in recognition of its unflinching commitment to human capital management. Underlying this worthy corporate endeavour is the Group's philosophy of ‘business with a heart’- giving to the community it serves through its award-winning corporate responsibility (CR) initiatives primarily involving Education, Healthcare and Community. Some of the more highly regarded CR programmes include the formation of the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation with an aim to bring high-quality and affordable education to the needy and deserving. The Sunway Job Training Programme for special children; Sunway Safe City Initiative and Recycling Programmes amongst a host of other healthcare and charitable activities.
