City Developments Limited: Corporate Social Responsibility - Our CSR Philosophy
At CDL, we view our role as more than just a builder of living spaces, but also a developer of lives and communities. We believe that a successful corporation is not only founded on business achievements, but also by the positive role it can play in the community and towards environmental sustainability.

Since the 1990s, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been an integral part of CDL’s vision and mission. Founded on this commitment, we take into consideration the interests of society on key stakeholders such as our investors, customers, employees, contractors and suppliers as well as the community.

We believe in conducting our business responsibly, mindful of the impact our operations have on society so as to build an enduring and sustainable organisation. We continually seek ways to ensure a better quality of life for the community and environment where we live, work and play.

In 2011, CDL was selected as an index component in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (worldwide and in Asia Pacific), the first global indexes to track the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide. This makes the company the only Singapore developer to be listed on both Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes and FTSE4Good Index Series (since 2002), a global benchmark for socially responsible investments. It is also the only Singapore company to be ranked amongst Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World in 2011, announced at the World Economic Forum.

CDL works closely with various organisations to promote CSR. We have been a founding committee member of Singapore Compact for CSR since its inception in 2005. Singapore Compact functions as a national society advocating CSR among the business community through awareness dialogues and workshops.

In September 2005, CDL was one of the founding Singapore signatories of the United Nations Global Compact to lend support to the advancement of responsible corporate citizenship in Singapore.

With a firm belief in the importance of engagement with the community, we have been responsive to the needs of the community by working closely with government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGO).

We constantly engage with our stakeholders through communication and feedback.
We value and welcome your feedback.
