Amid a highly eventful year around the world, Singtel remains focused
on continuously innovating to build long-term business value and
achieve multiple objectives: delivering strong financial returns to our
shareholders, being an employer of choice and supporting community
development, while managing our environmental footprint.
All of us at Singtel work very hard to meet these goals and I am
pleased to report that we have achieved most of the sustainability
targets established for FY10/11. |
The results are presented
here in Singtel’s second annual Sustainability Report.
Among the accolades we received during the year is our inclusion
among the ‘World’s Most Ethical Companies’ by US-based think-tank
Ethisphere Institute. The Singtel Group is indeed honoured to be
recognised for our good ethics and compliance programmes. |

| I am also happy to see an
increase in the Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) score in our latest annual staff engagement
survey, indicating that our people are more
aware of and identify with our CSR causes.
This has translated into action, with an increase
of over 1,000 volunteering hours compared
to a year ago. Much of this growth can be
attributed to 'VolunTeaming', an initiative
that we promoted among our people last year
that combines department teambuilding with
contributing time and effort to a worthy cause.
We certainly plan to further develop this
culture of volunteerism among our people. |
