Moody's

Established in 2002, The Moody’s Foundation directs Moody’s corporate philanthropy to organizations aligned with our focus areas, which contribute to stronger communities – and a brighter future – for people around the world. We seek to build a world where more people have access to opportunity and where everyone has the resources to grow and thrive. We’ve thus aligned our core business priorities to our Community Impact strategy, with a focus on supporting underserved communities while identifying new and innovative ways to leverage social capital.

Through our focus area of empowering small businesses, we are tackling social inequality by empowering entrepreneurs across the globe to grow their small businesses and uplift their local communities, as small businesses are more likely to have weaker access to markets, information, credit and networking opportunities than large business owners. In Singapore, we partnered WeConnect International and the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network to empower small business owners in the community.
Moody’s Community Impact team also engages employees through various initiatives to foster a sense of purpose, pride and belonging at Moody’s. Our initiatives this year included volunteering, pro bono programmes, non-profit board service, dollars for doers and matching gift programmes. In addition, each year in June during our TeamUp® Month of Service, employees across the organization give back to the community by volunteering their time. This year, our employees in Singapore helped clean the Marina Reservoir area, befriended seniors at a senior care centre, prepared meals at a food charity, and assisted a social enterprise in solving a business problem.

In 2021, due to the safe management restriction brought about by the COVID situation, we need to change our approach in CSR effort but still strive to support the community around us. Below are examples of our CSR activities.

1. World Vision X Kemin: Kemin partnered with World Vision, to build an energy efficient (for sustainability) water facilities for children in Mongolia. Kemin recognized that we need to help the vulnerable groups to have access to the basic human needs for survival.
2. Donation to Children Cancer Foundation: Kemin had reached out to Children Cancer Foundation with corporate donations. Their beneficiaries’ age ranges from new-born baby to teens and the organization operates solely based on individuals and corporate donations. Kemin decided to support CCF in view that they also provide Counselling and therapeutic play for the beneficiaries which we believe is important but neglected aspects of cancer treatments. The fact that CCF also focuses on mental wellbeing of the beneficiaries is in line with Kemin’s direction that mental wellbeing is important within the organization.
3. Donation to HCA Hospice: Kemin also reached out to Hospice for donation. Patients in last stage of their lives got to participate in events and activities as part of the Day Hospice Services, and all these services are available to the patients free-of-charge. Kemin is aligned with Hospice’s vision that dignity and joy should be preserved for all including those terminally ill patients.
4. Collaboration with Key Business Partner: Kemin collaborated with our key distributor (Lautan Luas) in Indonesia to build school in rural areas. We believe that it is important that we collaborate with key business partner outside normal business.

Herbalife

Herbalife Nutrition is a global nutrition company which supports the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation (HNF) through its corporate social responsibility efforts. Created in 1994 by Herbalife Nutrition Founder, Mark Hughes (1956-2000), HNF is a global non-profit foundation dedicated to improving the lives of children around the world. We envision a world where every child has equal access to healthy nutrition.

HNF funds grants to charitable organizations though its flagship program – Casa Herbalife Nutrition by providing children with the nourishment, care, and education they need to reach their full potential. Today we provide millions of dollars in funding to 167 orphanages, hospitals, schools and organizations in more than 59 countries. In 2021 alone, we served more than 216,000 children and their communities.
HNF has been partnering with a local non-profit organization – Children’s Wishing Well (CWW), in helping children and youths live healthily and have access to good nutrition by participating in two programs – Fresh gRoceries in Every Student’s Home (FRESH) and Hot Lunch.

Under the FRESH Program, our in-house nutritionist will conduct a pre-session briefing which includes tips on reading nutrition labels, and the kind of healthy food they should select. Volunteers will then be paired up with children from low-income families to shop for what they really like and need, within a budget of $30 per child. Through this program, the children will learn about nutrition, budgeting, and decision-making – skills which will have a broader, long-term impact on their lives.

COVID-19 has impacted different strata of society unequally. Many low-income families with children are greatly affected by the pandemic, such as reduced income or loss of employment. CWW has extended their help to as many children and their families as possible during this challenging period. One of which is the Hot Lunch program. CWW provided cooked lunch for takeaway during the circuit breaker period and dine-in during centre operation hours. This is to ensure that no disadvantaged child goes hungry, and they have at least one healthy meal each day.

Hasbro

At Hasbro, As a global organisation, Hasbro runs a global annual event – Global Day of Joy to give back to the community and make a positive impact by supporting children in need. Last year, Hasbro Singapore has extended this to a week long event – Global Week of Joy.

Hasbro embarked on 3 key CSR events, which were in partnership with EPWorth, a Social Service Agency that helps at-risk children and youths from needy and disadvantaged families; wherein employees contributed time to conduct a storytelling, arts and craft and terrarium workshop sessions to children. Aside from the CSR events, we have also orgainsed a fundraising campaign – Brian Goldner Literacy Fund, which is aimed at helping students from disadvantaged families, particularly those who have been severely impacted by COVID-19. With this scholarship, students were able to receive timely intervention without adding to their family’s financial burden. Through this, we have managed to raise over $13,000 – allowing us to exceed the goal of $11,500.
