Specialty
Planning and policiesThe SCDF initiated its community service programmes in 1998 by supporting a group of identified charities. Recognising that community involvement efforts contribute towards meeting SCDF’s corporate goals and objectives, our programmes are endorsed and supported by the SCDF’s senior management. The SCDF aims to integrate our community service programmes into our core business through providing expertise services to our adopted homes/ charities. For example, our staff may help the adopted charities to develop fire safety plans or to conduct emergency exercises at the homes. ImplementationAll SCDF personnel are given opportunities to volunteer and participate in community service programmes. To avoid overloading the units, ongoing commitments to other community activities are reviewed prior to the introduction of new initiatives.

Environmental InitiativesEfforts to conserve electricity and water are well-integrated into SCDF’s overall activities, core functions and processes. SCDF had achieved the mandatory certification such as Water Efficient Building Award/Friends of Water by Public Utilities Board (PUB), the National Water Agency.  SCDF also promotes wholesome activities which have a positive impact on the environment. Since 2009, our officers have been participating in the Our Waters Programme where the volunteers would be involved in clean-up efforts in the adopted waterways. SCDF also actively promoted good environmental habits/practices among stakeholders. |
