SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
SOCIETY
In 2014, we donated more than $30,000 to various
activities to give back to society.
We kick started our CSR Programme in June with the
Student Advisory Centre, a local children and youth
charity that cares for the young underprivileged families,
in the “Home Improvement Project (“HIP”)’. The HIP aims
to improve the lives of needy children by upgrading their
homes so that they have a better living condition. Our
staff took a working day off to refurbish and paint the
house of a single mother with four children. In addition,
as part of the HIP programme, a monthly S$50 worth
of food package, including daily essentials support, was
given to the family for a period of five months.
In September, we continued to engage the Student
Advisory Centre in a programme ‘Children’s Wishing
Well’. With this programme which is an online equivalent
of a magic wishing well, we granted the wishes of
approximately 50 youths from various schools.
In October, six staff took part in the ‘Ride for Rainbow’,
a cycling event organised yearly by Club Rainbow
(Singapore) to raise funds tosupport the familiesof children
who are suffering from major chronic and potentially life-
threatening illness. These children ranged from newborn
babies to youths of 20 years old and require frequent
visits to hospital for treatment, complicated therapy and
long-term medication. Besides being a sponsor, the staff,
including Management as well as a Director, cycled the
challenging route which circumnavigated Singapore. The
cycling event which started at midnight, saw each staff
cycle 100km and raised a total of S$6,000.
In November 2014, we also contributed towards children
through sponsorship to the ‘Ride to Give’ event. ‘Ride to
Give’ is a charity ride privately organised in support of the
beneficiaries of Children’s Cancer Foundation (“CCF”).
The event which involved cycling through the night is
a cause using our legs to go the distance, ranging from
100km to 250km, for the beneficiaries of CCF.
In addition to sponsorships and donations, this year's
Christmas card greetings designed by the resident from
the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore), was
send electronically to our partners.
