Bee Choo Origin Strengthens CSR Efforts with Electric Van Donation to NKF
This donation is part of the long tradition of Bee Choo Origin supporting NKF, reflecting its dedication to making a positive impact beyond the beauty industry. The electric van, which is the first of its kind in NKF's fleet, will be used to provide transportation for kidney patients who require regular dialysis treatments but face difficulties commuting to and from medical centres.
Providing Safe and Eco-Friendly Transport for Kidney Patients
The donation from Bee Choo Origin supports NKF's Wheeling for Love & Hope Programme, which provides free transport services to patients struggling with mobility issues. The new electric van is designed with built-in access steps and spacious seating, ensuring safe and comfortable travel for patients. It is expected to facilitate up to 1,044 trips annually, benefiting approximately 72 patients per week.
For many kidney patients, travelling to dialysis centres three times a week can be physically demanding and financially burdensome. NKF's transport programme alleviates this challenge, offering patients reliable and accessible transportation at no cost. The introduction of an electric van further enhances this initiative by reducing carbon emissions and lowering operational costs in the long run.
'We're deeply honoured to partner with NKF on this meaningful initiative,' said Ms. Lim Xue Ting, General Manager of Bee Choo Origin. 'Dialysis is a lifeline for many, and we hope this contribution helps ease the journey for patients while also supporting a greener, more sustainable future. At Bee Choo Origin, community care and environmental responsibility are values we hold close, and this donation is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to both.'
Bee Choo Origin: A Legacy of Giving Back
Bee Choo Origin has been a steadfast supporter of NKF for several years, previously donating five dialysis machines since 2018 to enhance treatment capacity. The latest contribution of an electric van builds upon this partnership, reinforcing the brand's dedication to social good.
Beyond its work with NKF, Bee Choo Origin has actively supported various charitable organisations through its CSR initiatives, including:
Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS) – Through their partnership with the Goodwill, Rehabilitation & Occupational Workshop (GROW), Bee Choo Origin contributes to empowering individuals with cerebral palsy by supporting initiatives that promote meaningful employment, skills development, and greater independence.

A Commitment to Sustainability and Future CSR Initiatives
As Bee Choo Origin celebrates its 25th anniversary, the brand is looking ahead to more initiatives that align with both environmental responsibility and community welfare. The transition to electric transport solutions is a step towards reducing carbon footprints while improving the quality of life for those in need.
'We believe that businesses have a responsibility to contribute to society in meaningful ways,' added Ms. Lim Xue Ting. 'Every act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a difference. We hope our contributions inspire other companies and individuals to support those in need.'

South Africa: Govt allocates $158mln to mineral, petroleum resources
The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has allocated 2.86bn for the 2025/26 financial year, of which R1.16bn will be transferred to public entities, municipalities, and other implementing institutions to 'enable them to fulfil their constitutional mandates'. Mineral and Petroleum Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe delivered the department's budget vote in Parliament on Wednesday, 2 July 2025. The budget Some specific projects to receive funding include: - R134.7m for the rehabilitation of derelict and ownerless mines implemented by Mintek. - R22.4m for the Mine Rehabilitation Research Project implemented by the Council for Geoscience. - R32.3m allocated to the CGS for the Mine Water Ingress Project. - R46.1m allocated to the Petroleum Agency South Africa (Pasa) for the implementation of the Shale Gas Project. A sunrise industry In his written remarks, Mantashe explained that Mintek – the country's national mineral research organisation – has completed a study on the state of mining in the country and the Critical Minerals and Metals Strategy for implementation, which shows great potential in the industry. 'Having produced individual commodity reports on 21 minerals, the critical minerals strategy shows that minerals, such as platinum, manganese, iron ore, coal and chrome ore, are poised to play a critical role in the South African mining industry and the economy for the foreseeable future. 'In contrast to the sceptic view that the South African mining industry is a sunset industry, with the comprehensive and up-to-date insights into key developments within global commodity markets, mineral production trends in South Africa and the mining sector's contribution to the economy, we are now more convinced than ever that the South African mining industry is a sunrise industry. 'This mining frontier is filled with exciting opportunities for investors and the economy,' he said. Mantashe acknowledged that the industry is operating in a challenging global landscape. Despite these challenges, including escalating trade tensions, evolving geopolitical relationships and the US's imposition of tariffs on some mineral exports, the industry remains a strong contributor to the national GDP. 'Despite the challenging global environment, mining gross value-added rebounded by 0.3% in 2024, from a 0.5% decline in 2023. Effectively, in rand terms, 2024 saw the mining sector contributing R451bn to the country's GDP, thus sustaining the 6% total contribution to the GDP. 'In the same period, the mining industry's export earnings totalled R674bn, comprising R586.4bn from primary minerals and R87.5bn from processed minerals, representing a decrease of 0.6% from R678bn in 2023,' the minister said. Meet needs of exploration community The minister highlighted that the sustainability and future of mining in South Africa are dependent on new mineral discoveries, making the Junior Mining Exploration Fund critical for discovery and transformation. 'Established through a R200m allocation from National Treasury, matched by the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), this fund is poised to unlock new mineral discoveries and drive transformation. The first funding call has already resulted in the signing of legal contracts with Black-owned junior miners. 'As the country navigates the natural decline of legacy commodities like gold, this fund will enable the discovery of new minerals that are essential for a range of industries, from advanced manufacturing to technology and infrastructure development. 'Expanding this fund is not just an investment in new mining frontiers but a commitment to ensuring that our mineral wealth contributes to a more inclusive and transformed industry,' he insisted. Mantashe noted that, for its part, the Council for Geoscience (CGS) has implemented its Integrated and Multi-Disciplinary Mapping Programme to expand its onshore mapping coverage to meet the needs of the exploration community. 'This work provides the fundamental basis to outline the mineral potential and geological systems at an enhanced scale, allowing for greater clarity to focus on exploration initiatives. 'For the 2025/26 financial year, the CGS will continue with the implementation of this backbone programme, both onshore and offshore, to make available key pre-competitive geological data, information and knowledge for considered investment in minerals exploration,' he said.
