When a global brand like ours does something good , identifies an area that needs developing , does something about it , and comes up with a plan that implements that to the benefit of all of its employees , then we should be more vocal around that and push it out into our communities to help others on that education journey .
They particularly focus on empowering the disadvantaged and marginalised , helping them integrate back into society , giving them roles , educating them , training them , giving them jobs and helping to place them out into the Singapore community , which I just think is incredible . I ' m genuinely really proud that we ' ve supported them and we ' ll continue to do so .
Singapore is home for many people that work for Barclays . That identity that Barclays can bring , by not just being business here , but by being a business here that recognises the community , is something we can support . Making a positive impact on the community that houses you is one of the cornerstones whilst I am Country CEO and it ' s one of the three pillars I ' ve identified that we will continue to drive and develop .
