Bold grows our future | GIC’s 40th Anniversary

At GIC, we're taking bold steps towards a more sustainable future for Singapore, from integrating sustainability into our investment and corporate processes, to supporting National Parks Board’s ‘Every Child a Seed’ Programme, to partnering urban farmers Gardens With Purpose to create a series of urban farms at bus stops.

Urban farms at bus stops

We partnered up with local urban farmer Gardens With Purpose to create a series of urban farms at bus stops. Equipped with functioning urban farming equipment to grow fresh veggies, these installations inspire the community by reimagining possibilities for a more sustainable future.

The urban farming equipment in these installations is fully reusable and all produce will be donated to the community. Take a closer look at this project from concept to execution:

Every week, volunteers dutifully tend to the organic vegetables.

If bus stops could be used for urban farming, how else might we boldly grow our future?

Every Child a Seed

We supported the 'Every Child a Seed' programme by Singapore's National Parks Board where children were given the opportunity to grow their very own plant. This gives them a chance to go through and appreciate the challenges of the planting process, and experience the joy of seeing their plants grow.

Gift A Tree

An enterprise-led initiative where employees plant trees to demonstrate support for GIC’s commitment to environmental sustainability as part of our 40th anniversary celebrations. Employees are actively involved in the tree-planting process and are instilled with the mindset to care for the environment and its biodiversity as long-term assets that benefit our future generations.
