Promoting Education and Social Well-Being
Because sustainable development and quality livelihoods cannot be achieved without social and environmental balance, SCBX subsidiary, SCB, pursues holistic social development which encompasses Youth Development and Education, Community Well-being and Disaster Relief, and Environmental Protection and Volunteer Culture.
Youth Development and Education
Because today’s youth are key to the country’s prosperous future, and that education is a powerful weapon to drive creative change that leads to sustainable development, SCBX subsidiary, SCB, continues to support social initiatives that encourage and provide youths with educational opportunities and develop skills of the 21st century. This is done in parallel with providing support for school institutions and teachers who act as both role models and transmitters of knowledge for children. These young people form an important foundation for the country’s development to keep pace with future change.
Community Well-Being

Thus, SCB supports initiatives that provide living and occupation assistance to ensure that people have access to basic needs and a healthy environment to build a strong economy and independent communities.
