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:

National Parks Board’s ‘Every Child a Seed’ Programme.
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.
