Urban Origins

We were back at Singlife in October, curating the vendors for their Sustainability Bazaar! This event was a culmination of a series of sustainability themed initiatives they held internally for their Mental Wellness & Sustainability Festival, and staff were able to browse the latest products from our featured partners. We also helped to set up a pre-loved fashion and books thrift corner, where proceeds and remaining items were donated to their choice of charity at the end of the event. We love how the team planned a long term engagement over multiple activities and events to encourage staff to adopt good sustainability and mental wellness habits. Let's keep that going! #workplaceactivity #workplaceexperience #employeeengagement #corporateworkshops #teambuilding

We’re delighted to have supported the GREAT EASTERN team as they co-organised the OCBC Sustainability Day in August, featuring a fashion and book swap event. Over 1,000 clothes and books were donated by staff across the OCBC Group, giving coworkers the opportunity to refresh their closets and bookshelves in a sustainable way. Remaining donated items were passed on to our partners in sustainability, Cloop and Books Beyond Borders, further promoting circularity and supporting community initiatives. This is one step towards creating more sustainable habits within the organisation, and we’re excited for even more participation in future events. #workplaceactivity #workplaceexperience #employeeengagement #corporateworkshops #teambuilding
