In 2023, we partnered with the Northwest Community Development Council (NWCDC) to identify meaningful support for the less privileged in the community. We supported the NWCDC Student Support Fund which aims to provide upstream education and developmental programs to increase social mobility of less privileged students. With DigiReady@North West, we donated used laptops and new accessories to support vulnerable residents to enable digital readiness. We also supported Exam ready @ Woodlands by procuring snacks and stationary care packs to provide motivational support for students taking their Primary School Leaving Examination.
We joined OCBC Cycle 2023 and during the 20km ride, participants raised $8,000 for SportCares and NWCDC.
While promoting cycling for fitness, the Corning team encouraged participants and employees to make sustainability related pledges as well. Corning employees committed to decrease their carbon footprints by cycling to work once a week and propagating potted plants to create a greener environment. These commitments highlight continued contributions by the Singapore team for Sustainability Week efforts across Corning.
In addition to that, we helped refurbishing “Joy Room”, a library area at Haven, facility built by Salvation Army for children who are under risked family. The team spent an afternoon cleaning, re-arranging the books and assembling new furniture, donation of the company and employees.
