proudly presents
Tropicana Corporation Berhad Back in 2013, we changed our name to Tropicana Corporation Berhad – a name synonymous with the prestigious Tropicana Golf & Country Resort. This sets a clear direction for the Group and with it, we began to redefine both ourselves and our integrated developments by leveraging on the iconic ‘T’ branding. After more than two decades in the property industry, and having pioneered residential resort-style living with the advent of Tropicana Golf & Country Resort and Tropicana Indah Resort Homes, we established a unique DNA that sets us apart. This DNA focuses on accessibility, connectivity, innovative concepts and designs, generous open spaces, amenities, facilities, multi-tiered security and quality. With emphasis on our customers’ needs, we have been innovating and redefining the art of living through the creation of our integrated developments by incorporating residential and commercial components to create thriving townships that are strategically connected.
Fuelled by passion to be one of the premier property developers, we will continue to deliver to our customers products that are intrinsically linked with our Tropicana brand. Embodied by the core essence of innovation, creativity, quality and excellence, we strive to redefine the art of living. It is said that home is where the heart is. This rings especially true as we have always believed in building homes that not only appeal to the eyes and minds of our consumers, but to their hearts as well.
Corporate Social Responsibilities
Our Commitments Quality Products Following the re-branding exercise that began with changing Dijaya Corporation Berhad to Tropicana Corporation Berhad in 2013, we have carried the Tropicana brand name into each subsequent property development, with the iconic T/Tree mark in all development logos. The corporate green colours, which is symbolic to the Group, echoes throughout our projects and corporate materials, to reflect the plentiful greenery found in all our developments. This is in line with our efforts to streamline all exclusive development names to invest in the brand strength. The Group has also recently rebranded our publications Directions and The Address to Tropicana Newsletter and Tropicana Magazine respectively. The Tropicana’s DNA adds to the brand identity by being embedded into our core values and developments, with added emphasis on customer’s needs who have the confidence that we deliver quality in all our products. Strengthening and streamlining the Tropicana brand is an essential step to building brand equity and withstand the test of time as the Group continues to extend collaborations and partnerships, both in Malaysia and the international markets. The Group currently serves customers from over 22 countries, from Singapore to as far as the United Kingdom.

Tropicana Coperation Berhad has partnered with three notable institutions of choice, of which, close bonds of common purpose have been forged in the provision of educational excellence for youth; St Joseph Institution International School Malaysia (Tropicana PJ Campus), GEMS International School (Tropicana Metropark) and Tenby Schools (Tropicana Aman).

Tropicana’s Staffs ushering prosperity and joy into the office.
Harnessing its strengths, Tropicana has centred its efforts on delivering the right balance – strong financial performance, positive social engagement and growing its environmental footprint – as the Group worked towards realising its transformation strategy and delivering long-term shareholder value. With its deep consumer insights and industry experience, the Group believe in improving the lifestyles of individuals by creating value that will last a lifetime. Hence, Tropicana has identified four key pillars – Community, Environment, Marketplace and Workplace – that will help the Group build social and environmental capitals, leading to better performances and attracting high quality employees. These key pillars will also help the Group makes a lasting contribution to the communities around it by contributing towards the social landscape and managing its environmental impact. Progress in 2016 Throughout 2016, Tropicana worked hard to deliver on its sustainable initiatives. Building Meaningful Relationships in the Community Extending assistance to others is what defines Tropicana as a company, and also as individuals. Towards this cause, Tropicana has an important role to play in reaching out and improving the lives of those who live in and around its developments and townships. The Group takes pride in its work in these communities as its efforts go beyond just creating a lasting impact, but instead, building meaningful relationships based on mutual respect and trust with all stakeholders in the community. In 2016, the Group amplified its community efforts by increasing its community footprint with various charities, non-governmental organisations and organisations in an effort to help them. During the year under review, the Group donated more than RM2.9 million through the Tropicana Foundation and other companies within the Group.

Our Commitments Social Responsibility Building Trust with Good Governance and Integrity Tropicana recognises that effective risk management, accountability and transparency is fundamental in realising its strategic business goals and long-term sustainable performance. To realise the Tropicana transformation strategy, the Group believe that it is important that everyone does the right thing every day, across the Company. As a company built on trust, it is about taking personal responsibility and doing it with integrity. This is an essential element because in today’s marketplace, managing its reputation sustainably means upholding its values of trust, integrity, honesty, accountability and responsibility. Hence, the Group has put in place a disciplined approach towards governance, where compliance towards best practices and governance is infused into the way business is conducted. These governance structures and practices have also been further strengthened within the Company, translated into workplace processes and procedures to help heighten understanding amongst employees.
Credibility Quality Assurance At Tropicana Corporation Berhad, we have built our reputation as a premier quality developer and we remain focused on our commitment to deliver fine workmanship and quality products. As Tropicana continues to grow its presence across the nation, we regard these aspects as key drivers that make a difference in our business. Communications with Shareholders and Investors At Tropicana, we recognise that constructive corporate disclosure and effective communications with our shareholders and investment community is important. We strive to provide a comprehensive overview of our Group’s operations and performance so that they are able to evaluate our prospects. This is in line with our commitment towards creating a strong culture of governance and transparency to uphold the trust and integrity of Tropicana as a public listed company. Regular and consistent updates are made available to our shareholders and the general public via our annual reports, quarterly announcements of financial results, circulars to shareholders and media releases, all of which can be accessed online through Bursa Malaysia, as well as through the Investor Relations section of our corporate website. We also engaged with the investment community by organising briefings and meetings on a regular basis to keep analysts and fund managers abreast with Tropicana’s corporate developments and future plans. These are also good avenues for us to receive invaluable feedback from the investment community and to understand their expectations as Tropicana works towards achieving its financial goals, and attain its position as a premier property group in Malaysia. Proactive Engagement Proactive engagement with shareholders and the investment community is essential. Offering views and voicing concerns remain as critical input to Tropicana in shaping our strategic directions as a company. Our annual general meetings are the principal forum for interaction with our shareholders, where they are encouraged to query the proposed resolutions as well as the business operations in general. Tropicana looks forward to sustaining a healthy dialogue with our shareholders at these general meetings. Queries on Investor Relations matters can also be directed to our IR web page where we have a dedicated team to respond to such queries and other IR-related issues raised by both shareholders and the investment community.

Management Style Strengthening Trust, Integrity and Ethics Tropicana practices a culture of effective corporate governance and continuous engagement with all our stakeholders. We understand that good governance and transparency strengthens confidence and promotes integrity as well as trust in our company. Effective governance includes adhering to policies, rules, regulations and creating shareholder value. Tropicana’s Management remains committed to operating in accordance with best practices to ensure business integrity, while adhering to the standards of financial reporting, corporate governance, and ethics. Excellence Prioritised We underwent strenuous efforts to understand our target audience - their thinking and decision-making processes, what motivates them; what objectives they seek; what are their expectations of the company; as well as why and how their vision and interpretation of issues are influenced by their history, culture, ways of working and relations with others. The Management continues to focus on thorough project and marketing planning to meet the right segmental markets. This is done by identifying the specifics demands and emphasising on product differentiation, performing intelligence studies and focusing on competitive packages which appeal to the market. A Long-Term Commitment to Value Enhancement Tropicana management team continues to enhancing the Group’s value proposition with our strategic land bank located in the nation’s growth corridors in the North, South and Central regions of Malaysia. Just as we have done from the beginning, Tropicana ceaselessly innovates cutting-edge designs and features that appeal to discerning customers, supported by a team that is consistently driven by a strong commitment to excel. Our commitment to enhance value comes from the recognition that the greatest levels of success may be achieved when the interests and objectives of our organisation and stakeholders can be aligned.
Management Style Forging Smart Partnerships In 2014, Tropicana announced a joint-venture with Agile Property Holdings Ltd, China’s leading developer with a strong presence in China, Hong Kong, and Macau. This strategic partnership in developing a mixed commercial project in the heart of Kuala Lumpur is a historic milestone for us. This alliance will allow Tropicana Group to boost its brand presence and visibility across those regional markets. Tropicana will continue to seek out similar strategic tie-ups to accelerate our development profile and enhance growth prospects. Harnessing Talents Tropicana has internalised a culture that motivates its people to improve on a daily basis. In line with this, developing and increasing its talent pool has always been a key priority. As the Company continues to experience these fast-paced changes, it has also further strengthened the Group by streamlining roles and responsibilities, thus increasing members of the management team and driving accountability. Tropicana is a place where people can work together cohesively and efficiently in a spatially intelligent atmosphere to maximise productivity. We constantly encourage our people to be open, realistic and objective-driven at work, with an emphasis on work-life balance.
