Global Day for People + Planet

Team Singapore

At Shaw Contract, we believe we have responsibility to each other and to our habitat, to people & planet. 

To celebrate the Global Volunteer Month each year, our Shaw Contract team joined together around the globe to give back to our local communities. Starting on the east coast of Australia, to Asia and Middle East, passing the baton all around the globe, and finishing on the west coast of Canada - we gave associates time off to join their colleagues across the whole company to volunteer their services in local communities. Read more below about the incredible activities our Singapore team were involved in!
