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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
