| Developing Singapore’s Olympic dreams |
As part of our ongoing commitment to the development of local sports, Singtel announced our support for Team Singapore at all major Singapore
National Olympic Council (SNOC) sanctioned games taking place over the next five years, including the London 2012 Olympic Games. Our multimedia
credentials puts us in a perfect position to generate excitement around sports and sporting achievements, an important factor in the growth,
development and support of Singapore’s national athletes.
Being the ‘Official Telecommunications Company’ of SNOC, Singtel provided assistance and support for Singapore’s athletes competing on the
world stage. The sponsorship and donations in kind went towards supporting selected athletes as well as equipping them with smartphones and
complimentary airtime and data subscriptions during London 2012. |

| Environmental conservation |
During the last 12 months we have organised numerous activities to encourage our staff, customers, and business partners to actively participate in
environmental related campaigns. Initiatives included themed talks, mobile phone, accessory and charger recycling, and supporting WWF Earth Hour
and the Earth Day Network’s ‘Billion Acts of Green’.
Our Project LESS Environmental Campaign continues to promote doing LESS for our environment: Less paper; Less power; Less water;
Less consumption; Less waste. Under the tagline ‘It’s Time We Did LESS – to protect our planet', our aim is to raise awareness and mobilise grassroots
support as we believe that little acts can collectively make a big difference. Environmental conservation and energy saving tips popped up across
Singtel offices and encouraged our people to ‘Think before you flick’ when turning on the light switch. |

Singtel Plant-A-Tree Day
Our third annual Singtel Plant-A-Tree Day was held in April 2011. Undertaken to raise awareness for
environmental conservation and protection, it is part of our ‘green investment’ for future generations as well as
a chance for our colleagues to get in touch with nature. Some 200 staff volunteers planted 105 trees on a plot of
land at the old Seletar Rifle Range in the Seletar Nature Reserve. This was our second time planting trees on this
site that was handed over to NParks for reforestation in 2010. |
Singtel says ‘No’ to shark’s fin
Since March 2012, Singtel has officially taken shark’s fin off the menu for our corporate events and celebration dinners.
Earth Hour 2012
At the end of March 2012, Singtel once again participated in Earth Hour, WWF’s environmental awareness and action initiative. Non-essential lighting
at all Singtel premises was switched off and interior lights were dimmed lights at our 11 hello! and Singtel Shop outlets. For the first time, we
reached out to 16 Singtel Exclusive Retailers who joined us this year to promote awareness of environmental issues. |
