SING INVESTMENTS & FINANCE LIMITED (“SIF”) formulates our Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) Policy with reference to the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) Sustainability Reporting guidelines. The objectives of our CSR Policy are:

  • promote responsibility and care towards the local communities;
  • promote energy efficiency and minimise negative impacts to the environment; and
  • ensure conducive and pleasant working environment for employees.

SIF believes in continuous commitment to giving back to society and we are targeting towards attaining more sustainability in our future CSR projects. In our continuous efforts to reach out to the less privileged, we encourage corporate giving and volunteerism towards meaningful causes to the community to foster a high performance CSR organization.

For the year 2016, we have participated in two CSR activities.

Project we care

In collaboration with People’s Association, SIF embarked on its first Project We Care activity on 22nd October 2016. The programme is under the umbrella of Project We Care Stay Well with Friends, with the key objective of enhancing the social well-being of the vulnerable community through corporate-initiated activities.

With the network introduction of People’s Association, we had a fabulous and wonderful time entertaining and uplifting the spirits of the elderly folks from the low income brackets including some handicapped residents at Limbang Constituency @ Choa Chu Kang. We had an exciting and fun day bringing much joy and laughter to them.

Our volunteers interacted with the elderly with some handicraft works and played guessing games with them which tested their memory and kept them active and alert. This was followed by a Karaoke singing session, healthy fruits cum buffet session with them. They enjoyed themselves singing and dancing with the volunteers and we had achieved our objective of bringing much joy and happiness to the elderly.

It was indeed heartening to see the elderly enjoying the food, games and the interactions with our volunteers. It has been our pleasure and honour to have the opportunity to work with People’s Association for our CSR projects.

SGX Bull Charge Charity Run 2016

Every year, SGX rallies the support of its listed companies and counterparts from the financial sector to raise funds for the underprivileged children and families, persons with disabilities and the elderly (namely AWWA Ltd, Autism Association, Fei Yue Community Services and Shared Services for Charities). The SGX Bull Charge Charity Run attracts more participants than any other corporate charity race in Singapore. For the first time, Sing Investments & Finance Limited contributed S$5,000 and participated in the SGX Bull Charge Charity Run 2016 which was held on 18 November 2016 at The Float @ Marina Bay. Twenty five of our staff participated in the 5km run in the financial district – all for a good cause to do their part for charity.

Other Initiatives

In line with global efforts to save the environment an SIF is committed to reduce energy usage and office consumables. Reduction in paper usage is achieved by making reports available in soft copies and encouraging staff to print documents only when necessary and to print on both sides of the paper. To reduce power consumption, electrical devices and equipment are switched off when not in use and lights in the buildings appropriately dimmed after office hours. We will continue to raise the level of awareness and commitment amongst staff towards sustainability in all aspects of our social responsibility operations.

At SIF, we are committed to our sense of corporate social responsibility and with more participation in the CSR events, our employees will develop a bonding relationship with their co-workers to care for others and learn to contribute meaningfully to our society.
