As a global citizen, we recognise our
responsibility towards the environment
and aim to contribute to environmental
protection and conservation. We
support the United Nations Decade
for Biodiversity.
The tiger and the leopard, among
the most endangered species on
Earth, are of symbolic signifcance
to Haw Par as our company and
our founders are named after them.
Over the years, we have supported
tiger conservation efforts in several
countries including India, Germany
and the United States. To raise
awareness on the importance of
wildlife conservation and to support
conservation education, the Group
continued with its sponsorship of the
Malayan Tiger Exhibit at the Night
Safari of Singapore and the Leopard
Exhibit at the Singapore Zoo.
The challenges ahead to protect our
environment call for a new generation
of leaders oriented to care for the
environment from their earliest
memories. It is in this light that our
oceanariums — Underwater World
Singapore and Underwater World
Pattaya — have been engaging the
young through our conservation
education programmes that aim to
inspire in them a sense of wonder
and awe for nature, a curiosity to
learn about their world and a passion
for the conservation of the oceans
and marine life.
2013 marked the 10th year of
Underwater Wor ld Singapore’s
(UWS) participation in the Corporate
and School Partnership Programme
(CASP) organised by the National
Environment Agency of Singapore.
Under the programme, UWS partnered
Keming Primary School to groom
young leaders for the environment
through a mentoring system. With
the guidance of UWS, students from
the School learnt about marine
conservation, initiated conservation
projects in schools and put up
exhibitions at the annual Singapore
Clean and Green School Carnival.
