As a long term investor, we have a stake in the lives and well-being of our wider community. We recognise that social, environmental and governance factors can impact them as well as the long term sustainability of companies and businesses.

We practise our commitment as a responsible corporate citizen by supporting efforts that build people and communities through education, healthcare and research; build bridges between peoples through deeper understanding and friendship; build better governance through a culture of integrity and excellence; and rebuild lives and livelihoods devastated by major natural disasters.

Since inception, we have committed almost S$1 billion to fund research institutions, scholarships and other public good beneficiaries. Of this, S$500 million was endowed to the Temasek Trust in May 2007. The Temasek Trust independently oversees the financial management of endowments and gifts.
