Prudential Singapore commits S$880,000 to support vulnerable families and sustainability efforts
[SINGAPORE] Prudential Singapore will commit a sum of S$880,000 to celebrate Singapore's 60th birthday this year, as well as the insurer's move of its office to Labrador Tower.
In a news release on Wednesday (Jun 18), Prudential said the investment will go towards distributing hampers to over 1,100 ComLink+ families residing in the vicinity of the new office. These hampers include items such as hygiene and household cleaning items.
There will also be a cash donation to the Prudential Longevity Pledge, a fundraising programme established in partnership with Community Chest in 2021 to support vulnerable groups in the community.
The donation will go towards the Healthy with KidSTART programme, which was launched in 2020 as a collaboration between Prudential and KidSTART to promote healthy eating habits among children aged six and under.
The investment will also help establish community edible gardens with the launch of a new initiative called Healthy Harvest later in the year.
Prudential said these gardens serve as social green spaces, encouraging sustainable gardening activities and healthy eating through the distribution of fresh produce grown there.
'As Singapore marks its 60th year of independence and Prudential moves to its new office at Labrador Tower, we want to celebrate by investing in the wellbeing of our community,' said Prudential Singapore chief executive officer Chan San San.
The move to the new office was completed in May this year. Located along Pasir Panjang Road, the company occupies over 170,000 square feet and eight-and-a-half floors to house 1,200 employees and 5,400 financial representatives.
An event was held on Tuesday to open the office, where chief executive officer Anil Wadhwani and representatives from the insurer's key business partners and community partners were in attendance.
