By launching this initiative with a forum, the tripartite partners hope to work closely with the members of our local business community to develop a corporate culture that places value in tackling issues like the observance of core labour standards, accountability in business practices, good corporate governance and protection of the environment.
Objectives of this Initiative
The key objectives of this project are:
At the forum, speakers like Ms. Claire Chiang, Co-Chairperson of the National Tripartite Initiative, Mdm Halimah Yacob, Assistant Secretary-General of NTUC, Mr. Bob Tan, Vice-president of SNEF, and H.E. Alan Collins, British High Commissioner, provided their perspectives and experiences on CSR.
The forum, which attracted a capacity crowd of 500 participants from the affiliated organizations of NTUC, SBF and SNEF, also included a discussion session with a panel of representatives chaired by Mr. Thomas Thomas, Co-Chairperson of the National Tripartite Initiative. During this session, the audience was invited to share their thoughts, experiences and questions pertaining to developing and promoting greater awareness of CSR.
