Q1) What are big companies doing in order to be
more socially responsible ?
Answer : Big companies like Singtel have an energy programme
that helps to reduce the business cost. It is also an opportunity
to re-invite their costumer to join their environmental efforts, such as
signing up with Singtel myBill, their paperless billing system.
Another example of a big company, is the DBS. The DBS community
initiatives are focused on helping children reach their full potential in
the area of learning.
Q2) How important it is to be socially responsible? And do you think
it is still possible to make a social impact during the recession?
Answer : It is very important as it helps people in the country or a
community of giving some thought to the people and helps cultivate good
habits and values. It also makes them to be someone who have the
thought for others and also be responsible for what they have done.
For example in the article, the charity walkathon do not spend a
large amount of money to organise as it was able to raise $80 000 of
social impacts towards the deaf.
