Sustainable Impact

Working jointly with Sunray Woodcraft Construction, the Chamber donated pre-loved office furniture to partners in the community including the Yio Chu Kang Grassroots and the Anglican Senior Centre (PEACE-Connect).

Additionally, the Chamber commissioned a wall mural by artists Eunice Hannah Lim and Nur Sabrina Binte Rahim, a member of the Rainbow Centre's Artability program who was born with cerebral palsy. This effort is part of an ongoing partnership with the North East Community Development Council (NECDC) to increase awareness and support for differently-abled artists.

Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei, Chief Executive Officer of AmChamSG said, "The AmChamSG Hub is the heart of the American business community in Singapore. This expansion reflects our commitment to fostering and strengthening the enduring relationship between the United States and Singapore.

In the spirit of celebrating new beginnings with 'something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,' the AmChamSG Hub is fitted with blue carpets made from recycled commercial fishing lines to promote a circular economy. As we mark this exciting milestone, AmChamSG is dedicated to supporting the growing needs of the community through advocacy, community and thought leadership."
