• Bread Distribution Programme - We deploy our fleet of vehicles four days a week to collect unsold bread, pastries and cakes from hotels and confectioneries, and deliver to self-collection centres islandwide since June 2008.
  
  
• Food Goodie Bag Programme - Our staff have been expending both personal time and money towards this programme since July 2008, sponsoring, packing and distributing food goodie bags on a quarterly basis to some 120 senior citizens staying in one-room flats in Kolam Ayer. We also brought festive cheer to these needy residents through activities such as Year-end Party, Mid-Autumn Celebration, Post-Chinese New Year Party and the distribution of red packets.
  
  
• Since June 2009, we have stepped up our support for FFTH by supporting 50 unprivileged primary school students, sponsoring FFTH for a full year's supply of monthly food items to them.

• Financial Assistance – We have been supporting the Community Chest SHARE programme since 2004 where we match staff’s monthly contributions dollar-for-dollar. We also raised funds and matched staff’s contributions for overseas humanitarian efforts i.e. Myanmar cyclone and China earthquake in 2008, Indonesia's Mentawai tsunami and Mount Merapi volcanic eruption in 2010 and Japan’s massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
  
  
• Core competencies – We use our postal and logistical strengths to support good causes e.g. collection of origami hearts from posting boxes for SingTel’s Touching Lives Fund, delivery of relief supplies and other items to overseas for charitable purposes, etc.
  
  
• Retail Network – We leverage our wide distribution network of post offices and Self-service Automated Machines (SAM) to facilitate public donations e.g. Community Chest’s Donation Box Charity Drive at post offices, electronic donations via SAM, etc.

One of our green initiatives was to make our flagship building, Singapore Post Centre, more environment-friendly by installing new energy efficient cooling units and fine-tuning the overall chiller plant system, thus reducing the carbon footprint significantly by 2, 531 tonnes per year or an equivalent of 626 saloon cars off the road.

The green initiative is win-win for SingPost as well as we stand to reap savings of more than $1 million a year for the Group. This project also won the ASEAN Energy Award 2008 for demonstrating best practices in energy efficiency and conservation.

This effort supplements SingPost's on-going environment-friendly practices involving energy saving and paper recycling. We have also implemented an eight-year Green Fleet programme to replace our existing vehicles gradually with environment-friendly ones.

There is collective support from everyone to contribute towards energy saving programmes as we recognise the long-term and tangible benefits to both the company and the environment that we serve and operate in.
