CORDLIFE’S
VALUE TO SOCIETY
OUR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
At Cordlife, we take pride in managing our relationships with
employees, clients, suppliers and stakeholders to produce
a positive impact on the society whilst sustaining business
growth. As a consumer healthcare company catering to
the mother and child segment, we have a keen interest in
their well-being. The following corporate social responsibility
activities that we participated in stand out as prime examples
of how social responsibility may be productively coupled
with sound strategies to advance goodwill while building a
sustainable business.
FOUNDING OF CORDLIFE-JALAN KAYU PRESCHOOL
HEAD-START FUND
Cordlife has committed to a sponsorship of S$50,000 per
annum for the next three years to start the Cordlife-Jalan Kayu
Preschool Head-Start Fund in Singapore. When it came to
our attention that there were families living in the Jalan Kayu
community in need of financial aid to send their children to
pre-school, we readily agreed to set up the Cordlife-Jalan Kayu
Preschool Head-Start Fund. As the name suggests, we want to
ensure that every child living in the vicinity is given the chance
to enrol into preschool and have an equal head-start in their
learning journey. Through these corporate social responsibility
activities, we seek to contribute to the betterment of our local
communities. At the Jalan Kayu Day community event, which
took place on July 4, 2015, our CEO, Mr. Jeremy Yee, received
a token of appreciation from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
SPONSORSHIP OF SGX BULL CHARGE
Cordlife stood amongst the institutional sponsors, contributing
S$25,000 to the SGX Bull Charge 2014. The proceeds were
eventually channelled to the Asian Women’s Welfare
Association, Autism Association, Fei Yue Community Services
and the Shared Services for Charities, benefitting hundreds of
underprivileged children, youth, the elderly as well as families.
BIG DAY OUT AT THE COLISEUMTO SUPPORT CHILDREN’S
CANCER FOUNDATION
On September 7, 2014, Cordlife pledged monetary support
to the Children’s Cancer Foundation, through a Big Day Out
event held at The Coliseum, Hard Rock Hotel Singapore.
This event, which was organised by the Kids Performing
Academy of the Arts, aimed to provide a platform for families
to strengthen their bond by spending quality time together
with their children during the September school holidays.
With an attendance of 800 guests from welfare homes and the
underprivileged families, everyone enjoyed themselves at this
carnival-style occasion, which included a showcase of talents
from the Kids Performing Academy, as well as food and prizes.
Through the support of sponsors and volunteers, the organiser
managed to raise funds, grant wishes and increase mission
awareness, making this event an inspiring one.
