Supporting the Wellbeing of Our Communities
Over the years, Haw Par has been giving back to society by supporting a broad spectrum of meaningful projects in Singapore and other countries. Through these initiatives, Haw Par creates unique opportunities to promote wellbeing amongst people from diverse communities and give a voice to worthwhile causes. In celebration of our company’s 50th Anniversary in 2019, staff rallied behind our charitable efforts, helping Haw Par to make a difference. Throughout 2020, 2021 and 2022, we supported COVID-19 relief efforts through donations of Tiger Balm pain-relieving products to healthcare workers and vulnerable communities in Singapore, China, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. In 2023, our commitment extended to new causes. We supported the Lee Kuan Yew Centennial Fund as a tribute to Mr Lee and to nurture future leaders of Singapore.
As delivering health and wellness is an integral part of Haw Par’s business, we keep to our tradition of providing Tiger Balm products to those in need. Vulnerable groups that had received our support included villagers in rural regions in Asia who have limited access to healthcare services, elderly at nursing homes and patients in hospices. In November 2019, over 200 staff supported Haw Par’s Grandparents’ Day outreach, and visited 20 nursing homes to present gifts of Tiger Balm to over 5,500 seniors, as well as the nurses and volunteers who have been taking care of them. We also supported relief efforts for communities impacted by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, 2008 Sichuan earthquake, 2011 Japan Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, 2013 Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and the Covid-19 pandemic. In India, our community support efforts in 2022 and 2023 are focused on initiatives to advance basic maternal and child health in regions that have limited access to healthcare.
