KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SYNTEC Group has been recognized at the Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards (AREA) 2026, organized by Enterprise Asia, under the Health Promotion category for its “Employee Health Support System”, which promotes employee well-being, psychological resilience, and community health impact. The recognition highlights SYNTEC’s commitment to building a sustainable health culture that integrates workplace safety, preventive healthcare, and social contribution across employees, families, and the broader community.
The “Employee Health Support System” integrates psychological resilience, physical health management, and social contribution through professional counseling (EAP), high-standard medical checkups, and community health initiatives. The project aims to enhance employee psychological resilience, strengthen preventive healthcare, and support local medical resources through initiatives such as blood donation drives, while also promoting youth holistic development through school sports support and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs under the Syntec Education Foundation.
Implementation follows a dual-track framework of “Internal Empowerment” and “Social Shared Value”. Internally, SYNTEC applies digital health tools for fitness tracking and provides on-site medical consultations, while embedding safety into product and workplace design through ergonomic CNC interfaces and smart factory automation that reduces occupational risk. Externally, the Syntec Education Foundation partners with professional teams to introduce SEL courses and athletic subsidies in schools, strengthening youth development and emotional well-being.
The initiative has delivered strong measurable outcomes, including more than 13,000 medical checkups, 215 EAP counseling sessions in 2025, support for 40 schools and 3,565 students through SEL and sports programs, and nearly 3,300 bags of blood collected between 2024 and 2025. These efforts have strengthened employee well-being, improved student emotional development, and enhanced the stability of local healthcare resources.
This recognition reflects SYNTEC Group’s continued commitment to integrating employee well-being, workplace safety, and community health into its core operations. Through a structured health support system and cross-sector collaboration, the company demonstrates how industrial innovation can generate long-term social value and sustainable impact.
