Supporting Singapore’s One Million Trees movement
Keppel is committed to climate action and reducing our environmental impact. To this end, Keppel is donating $3 million to National Parks Board’s (NParks) Garden City Fund to support the planting of 10,000 trees in parks and nature reserves in Singapore over the next five years, as part of NParks’ One Million Trees movement. This is the single largest donation pledged for tree planting in Singapore to date.
As part of the One Million Trees movement, Mr Loh Chin Hua, CEO of Keppel Corporation joined Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for National Development and representatives from members of the community, at a tree planting exercise at Kranji Coastal Nature Park in August. Mr Loh said, “As a company providing solutions for sustainable urbanisation, Keppel views sustainability as central to our strategy. We are committed to environmental stewardship and are glad to contribute towards climate action through tree-planting, which is a nature-based solution to fight climate change.
“Keppel staff have been volunteering regularly for conservation programmes such as tree planting and beach clean-ups, in Singapore and overseas. Through our commitment to plant 10,000 trees, we hope to further strengthen our focus on addressing the challenges of climate change and bring together more in our community to contribute to a greener and more sustainable Singapore for future generations.”
