Keppel sets up package in aid of national efforts against COVID-19

The initiative is expected to raise more than $4.2m.

Keppel Corporation (Keppel) has set up a COVID-19 package, which will be funded by voluntary contributions from the Keppel Group’s executives, senior management, and staff, according to an announcement.

The initiative is expected to raise more than $4.2m.

Keppel’s CEO and CFO will be giving one month’s worth of their salaries in April 2020, whilst directors of Keppel business units will be contributing an equivalent amount of their annual fees.

Members of the Group’s senior management are also said to forgo half a month of their salaries, whilst Keppel employees in Singapore are asked to contribute any amount.

The company said that about $3.5m of the fund will go towards supporting lower income households in Singapore, through rebates given by Keppel Electric, M1 and City Gas to residents living in 1 and 2-room HDB flats, which will be rolled out from 1 May.

Meanwhile, $300,000 will be donated to The Courage Fund, whilst about $400,000 will be set aside to support Keppel’s frontline contract staff, including sanitary and security personnel.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
