Donation and Collection Drive for ItsRainingRaincoats In December 2022, Eastspring Singapore organised a donation and collection drive for ItsRainingRaincoats, a Singapore charity that seeks to improve the welfare of migrant workers by supporting their everyday needs and by helping to build bridges of integration with the Singapore community. This charity was selected for the excellent work the team does in meeting the everyday needs of migrant workers in a way that preserves their dignity. Migrant workers play a vital role in contributing to Singapore and this was one way of expressing gratitude especially after the challenging time they went through during the pandemic. In addition, the collection drive also resonates with our sustainability efforts by encouraging colleagues to give a second lease of life to new and pre-loved items.

Urban Farming with Grobrix In November 2022, Eastspring Singapore embarked on its urban faming journey. We engaged Grobrix to set up, fully service, and harvest the produce from a vertical farm within office premises. The harvested vegetables are then distributed to staff in Singapore. In the span of four months, there has been 10 rounds of harvest. Having an urban farm in the office aligns a trifecta of benefits – promoting physical health, mental health, and sustainability.
