SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY<br />

“As an industry leader CWT also hosted overseas government<br />

and business delegates at our facilities, participated in various<br />

industry speaking conferences and presented at logistics seminars<br />

organised by and in local institutions”<br />

Community Involvement<br />

Through volunteerism, <strong>financial</strong> support and inkind<br />

giving CWT continues <strong>to</strong> step up our efforts<br />

and reach out <strong>to</strong> underserved communities. Last<br />

year we provided logistics and transportation<br />

support <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Children’s Cancer Foundation at its<br />

‘Hair for Hope’ fund-raising drive. We also made<br />

contributions <strong>to</strong> non-profit charitable organisations<br />

which count <strong>the</strong> less privileged, young children and<br />

<strong>the</strong> needy as beneficiaries. Some of <strong>the</strong> charitable<br />

events which we supported included World<br />

Gourmet Summit Charity Dinner <strong>to</strong> raise funds for<br />

Community Chest; Dover Park Hospice Sunflower<br />

Ball; and donations <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Yellow Ribbon Fund, <strong>the</strong><br />

Business Times Budding Artists Fund and Lions<br />

Befrienders, among o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />

As an industry leader CWT also hosted overseas<br />

government and business delegates at our<br />

facilities, participated in various industry speaking<br />

3.<br />

conferences and presented at logistics seminars<br />

organised by and in local institutions. In September<br />

2011, CWT became a co-sponsor for <strong>the</strong> fifth<br />

straight year at <strong>the</strong> Russia-Singapore Business<br />

Forum organised by International Enterprise (IE)<br />

Singapore. A homegrown logistics company we<br />

also celebrated with <strong>the</strong> nation and sponsored<br />

waist pouches for participants and volunteers at<br />

<strong>the</strong> Singapore National Day Parade 2011.<br />

The CWT Group operates one of <strong>the</strong> largest fleet<br />

of heavy vehicles ranging from trucks <strong>to</strong> prime<br />

movers and trailers in Singapore. As part of our<br />

ongoing effort <strong>to</strong> promote road safety awareness<br />

and instill proper and safe driving discipline, we<br />

launched a Road Safety Campaign for our drivers<br />

last September. This is just an example of our<br />

corporate responsibility <strong>to</strong>wards society – <strong>to</strong> help<br />

keep our roads safe for our drivers and <strong>the</strong> public<br />

at large.<br />
