Enabling Communities
Businesses can deliver sustainable returns over the long term only if there is a thriving and productive economy, a just and inclusive society, and a clean and healthy environment.
We have 18 non-profit philanthropic endowments, gifted over the years, to focus on different aspects of building people, building communities, building capabilities and rebuilding lives. These endowments are grouped under a family of six Foundations to better plan and deliver community programmes under their respective mandates. In 2017, we added the Stewardship Asia Centre Endowment to reinforce our commitment to promote sound stewardship and good governance across Asia. Stewardship Asia Centre is currently the beneficiary of this new endowment. To date, our Foundations have touched over 800,000 lives across Singapore and Asia.
Our non-profit philanthropic endowments focus on building people, building communities, building capabilities and rebuilding lives.
Our Foundations champion various public good causes, including sustainability and innovative solutions to improve liveability and mitigate climate changes, as well as to build a more resilient and inclusive world for our future generations.
