Socially Responsible & Sustainable
Evelyn Wong
Socially Responsible & Sustainable looks at the CSR practices of 10 enterprises that have helped to distinguish themselves in the market for consumers, employees, investors, and in the community as socially responsible corporate citizens. They are local and foreign companies in Singapore, including publicly-listed companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with business in the following industries: manufacturing, hospitality, public transportation, energy, property development and management, and agri-business.
These company experiences show that, although their priorities and strategies may be different, they all leverage on their business strengths to achieve the same goal – to contribute to sustainable development and the well-being of their stakeholders and society as a shared responsibility.
About Singapore Compact for CSR
Singapore Compact for CSR was founded by the National Tripartite Initiative for CSR in 2005, with the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) as founder members. It is a national society with members from big and small companies, government agencies, trade unions, associations, academia and NGOs. Singapore Compact is also a focal point of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). Its key mission is to broaden the base for collaboration between various stakeholders to promote CSR in Singapore. This is done through ongoing dialogues, networking, seminars, an annual summit and training.
