Amid the skyscrapers in Singapore’s CBD is a hidden gem of a lush and vibrant hanging garden.

158 Cecil Street, a 14-storey commercial building managed by Alpha Investment Partners, Keppel Land’sfund management arm, has transformed its seven-storey atrium into a seamless, vertical green wall.

An online video featuring this unique oasis that thrives in the heart of a commercial building brought Mr Khaw Boon Wan, Singapore’s Minister of National Development, to tour the building on 25 July 2012.

“Skyrise greenery is an area that is unique to Singapore as not many countries have embarked on such projects. I am impressed with how well the atrium space at 158 Cecil Street has been designed to incorporate lush greenery and sustainability,” said Minister Khaw.

Minister Khaw was briefed on the design and implementation of the wall-garden and was also given an inside look to how the plants were irrigated daily.

To ensure a robust business continuity management framework, Keppel Land also regularly reviews the crisis management plans for its operations in Singapore and overseas.

On 13 August 2012, a team from Singapore comprising representatives from Keppel Land’s Risk Management and HR departments as well as Keppel Corporation’s GCC spent one day at Johor Bahru, Malaysia, to train the teams at Taman Sutera and Sutera Mall on how to develop a crisis management plan.

The workshop was attended by about 20 personnel, including Mr Steven Shum, DGM for Keppel Land’s operations in Malaysia, and staff from critical functions. The same training was also rolled out to other business units in Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and India via teleconferences.

Ms April Chang, AGM for Keppel Land’s Risk Management department, shared, “Businesses today are more vulnerable to risks due to the highly volatile environment we operate in. There is therefore a need to enhance and ensure operational resilience.”

Jointly organised by Keppel Corporation’s Group Corporate Communications (GCC) and Keppel Land’s Human Resources (HR) departments, the workshop helped management better understand their role as spokespersons and be equipped to deal with communications issues.

The executives had hands-on experience preparing media statements as well as anticipating questions from members of the press.

The media training also involved placing them under a fire of critical questions during simulated interviews and press conferences.

THE SCIENCE OF SAFETY

In recognition of its continuous efforts towards upholding safety, Keppel Land has received its inaugural Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Developers Award conferred by the WSH Council (WSHC) and Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

Keppel Land was lauded for its excellent safety performance at three projects namely Reflections at Keppel Bay, Ocean Financial Centre and Marina Bay Suites. The main contractors for these projects are Woh Hup, Obayashi-Woh Hup JV and Woh Hup, respectively.

The Company’s win added to the Keppel Group’s record 34 safety awards garnered at the WSH Awards 2012, and this was the highest number of safety awards ever achieved by a single organisation since the awards were introduced in 2006.

Mr Choo Chiau Beng, CEO of Keppel Corporation and Chairman of Keppel Land, said, “At Keppel, we emphasise that safety is everyone’s business. We ensure that workplace safety and health messages percolate throughout the entire organisation. “We have various platforms that facilitate the sharing of safety experiences and lessons, promote safety innovation as well as conduct safety training and leadership courses across the business units in the Group.

“We are very encouraged by WSHC’s recognition of our sustained safety efforts. Beyond recognition from the government and industry, our greatest reward is seeing everyone

Recognising that the personal adoption of safe working practices strengthens a company’ssafety culture, Keppel Land rolled out its Behavioural Management of Safety (BMOS) programme at three project sites from 30 July to 3 August 2012.

BMOS integrates behavioural strategies and processes into the health and safety management systems of a company. It aims to define a set of behaviours that will reduce the risk of work-related accidents.

The project teams for The Lakefront Residences, The Luxurie and Ocean Financial Centre were the first to undergo BMOS training. The results will be monitored progressively to ensure that good safety behaviours are reinforced at the worksites.

With increasing pressure on urban infrastructure, the environment and resources, the challenge lies in how to manage such a growth sustainably.

From 1 to 5 July 2012, global leaders, policy makers and industry experts in sustainable urban development convened in Singapore for the World Cities Summit (WCS) to exchange ideas and solutions to tackle these issues.

Leveraging synergy in competencies, Keppel Land and Keppel Integrated Engineering exhibited their strengths at the WCS. The companies showcased their expertise in developing large-scale integrated developments and townships as well as providing innovative environmental engineering solutions.

In support of Singapore’s efforts to promote exemplary thought-leadership and exchange of ideas among cities, Keppel Corporation is a Founding Sponsor

of the Prize, which comprises an award certificate, a gold medallion and a cash prize of $300,000.

This year’s Prize Laureate was the Mayor of New York City (NYC), Michael Bloomberg, and the Departments of Transportation, City Planning, and Parks and Recreation of NYC.

NYC was recognised for its achievements in sustainable development. In particular, NYC was lauded for its efforts to rejuvenate neglected public spaces through the creation of innovative new parks

such as transforming a disused elevated railway into a popular skypark 30 m above the ground.

Based on sustainable design principles, these parks are rejuvenating once abandoned waterfront areas and making use of innovative technologies and recycled materials.

Among some of NYC’s goals are the planting of 1 million new trees, making streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians as well as ensuring that every resident lives no more than a 10-minute walk from a park.

Both the SIP and Tianjin Eco-City projects demonstrate how public-private partnerships provide holistic and practical solutions which can effectively address urbanisation challenges in a shorter span of time while sustaining value for all stakeholders concerned.

STEADY PROGRESS IN ECO-CITY

Singapore’s Prime Minister (PM) Lee Hsien Loong visited Tianjin Eco-Cityduring his official visit to Tianjin on 4 and 5 September 2012 to view the development and be updated on its progress.

During his visit, PM Lee was briefed on Keppel’s various projects in the Eco-City, including property developments, environmental engineering projects and logistics services. Welcoming PM Lee at the Keppel Tianjin Showcase were Keppel Corporation’s Chairman Dr Lee Boon Yang, Keppel Corporation's CEO and Keppel Land's Chairman Mr Choo Chiau Beng

and Keppel Corporation's Senior ED Mr Teo Soon Hoe.

As part of his visit, PM Lee also met with Mr Zhang Gaoli, Secretary of the Communist Party of China Tianjin Municipal Committee. The two leaders recognised the good progress in the development of the Tianjin Eco-City. PM Lee also assured Party Secretary Zhang that the project has the full support of the Singapore Government. He also stressed that the Tianjin Eco-City must not only be workable, but also replicable.

PM Lee signed the framework agreement on the development of the Tianjin Eco-City with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in 2007, which formally launched this landmark cooperation project to jointly create a practical, scalable and replicable model for sustainable development for other cities in China and the rest of the world.

Keppel Corporation and Keppel Land China also hold 45% and 55% interest respectively in a 36.6-ha site located in the Start-Up Area (SUA) of the Tianjin Eco-City. Keppel Land China is a member of the Singapore consortium as well as the project manager for the development of the SUA.

Meanwhile, work is progressing well at Keppel’s phase 1 of the residential development, Seasons Park. Comprising 1,672 homes, Seasons Park was launched in 2010. To-date, over 80% of 787 launched units have been sold. Phase 2 of the residential component, Seasons Garden, will comprise about 1,200 homes. It is expected to be launched in 2012.

The mixed-use development, Seasons City, will comprise three office towers, retail premises and serviced apartments with total GFA of about 162,000 sm. Phase 1 will feature an office development and retail premises, with GFA of 20,000 sm each and is targeted to be completed by 2013.

Splashing good timesExciting activities continue to take place at Marina at Keppel Bay (MKB), proving that it is a world-class marina with a difference.

CRUISING FOR A CAUSE

To foster and strengthen relations among the boating community, MKB has introduced an annual cruising event where boaters can bond over their favourite activity – sailing.

NEW DEPTHS OF EXPERTISE

Staff training is part and parcel of MKB's strategy to deliver greater depths of expertise and service standards.

Since June 2012, MKB has invested in dive training programmes to equip its crew with the necessary skills and knowledge to safely and efficiently undertake underwater pontoon maintenance and regular checks to ensure healthy growth of marine and coral life in the marina’s waters.

Roy Ng, Marina Manager at MKB who is an Open Water Scuba Instructor certified by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), has been conducting the training sessions for the Marina Operations team.

After undergoing a series of theory and practical lessons in confined waters, six trainees have since

graduated and received certification as PADI Open Water Divers.

“The training is designed to be comprehensive to ensure that our Marina Operations team

has all the requisite competencies to perform safe and effective dives to help upkeep Marina at Keppel Bay’s standards,” shared Roy.

The inaugural annual cruise took place from 31 August to 6 September 2012. But it was not all fun for the boaters who had a bigger objective in mind - to deliver donated items such as blankets, food and even computers to the less fortunate living in the Anambas Islands in the Riau Archipelago.

Participants started the morning at Keppel Bay which links to the Labrador Nature & Coastal Walk and Southern Ridges.

To ensure the safety and convenience of all participants, the team from Keppel helped with arrangements including opening its showflat premises to accommodate the buses and participants as well as guiding the fun-walkers towards the meeting point.

“It was an enjoyable walk. We would like to thank the team at Keppel for the marvelous job done to make our walk a happy and pleasant one,” said Ms Doris Tan, Vice Chairman of Moulmein Moulmein Citizens' Consultative Committee.

Global mindsets, local insights

“Organisations learn only through individuals who learn,” Peter Senge, an American scientist and authority on organisational development once said. Is it any wonder then that the valuing and nurturing of employees occupies such an important space as one of Keppel’s core values?

Across Borders tracks the learning experiences of two Keppelites at Keppel Land Vietnam.

RIDING HIGH

Armed with a penchant for learning and an open and globalised mindset, the world is her oyster for Nguyen Dang Nhi.

The 27-year-old Vietnamese spent several years studying abroad to achieve her real estate degree at the National University of Singapore. She has since returned to her home country and is working as a Business Development Senior Executive with Keppel Land Vietnam.

Global mindset, local insights - Nhi gets around the local way by manoeuvring around heavy traffic in Ho Chi Minh City on a scooter

Minh shared, “Not only did I gain a much better understanding of Keppel Land and the other Keppel businesses, but also experienced many things never imagined.

“On the second day alone, I boarded my first semi-submersible rig at the naming ceremony of ENSCO 8506. Then later in the month, I scaled the KFELS B Class jackup rig, Nezalezhnist, owned by Ukrainian customer, Naftogaz.”

Upon the suggestion of Ms Wang Look Fung, Director of GCC, Minh also travelled to Indonesia to help with preparations for the groundbreaking of International Financial Centre, and the opening of Jakarta Garden City’s clubhouse.

“I picked up many first hand lessons in event and media engagement on this trip as well as got a glimpse into a new culture,” Minh enthused.

Summing up her experience, Minh shared, “I was fortunate to have great friends at GCC who were very supportive of me. As I encountered more colleagues with the Can Do! attitude, I began to understand the core values better, and this has made me a proud Keppelite.”

Minh (middle) and the Keppel Volunteers at the National Day Parade preview

Leveraging her business acumen and fluency in Vietnamese and English, Nhi is deeply involved in Keppel’s expansion plans in Vietnam. Her job scope includes conducting market research and feasibility studies to assess the viability of potential project sites for investment.

As Keppel Land continues to grow its international footprint, there will be more opportunities for Keppelites with an international mindset like Nhi to work in different markets. Her advice to Keppelites hoping to venture overseas is to have the right attitude.

She added, “We should always embrace the 3Rs at work - Respect, Responsible and Ready. Always respectothersandlisten;alwaysberesponsible for what you do and be ready to take on new challenges. With these in mind, we can tackle any situation proactively and positively.”

The launch of the Keppel Care Foundation on 9 September 2012 marks a momentous event in Keppel's history of giving as the Group reinforces its philanthropy commitments.

Dr Lee Boon Yang, Chairman of Keppel Corporation, shared, “With the Group’s growing businesses and presence around the world, there is a need to sharpen our focus and organise the efforts and contributions to worthy causes.

“Hence, we decided to establish a foundation to provide a more structured and sustainable framework for the Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility work at home and abroad.”

The Keppel Group of companies will commit up to $50 million over the next ten years to the foundation.

A registered charity under the Charities Act, the foundation will provide assistance for the needy and underprivileged, promote education and encourage eco-friendly mindsets and initiatives.

The foundation was launched by former President of the Republic of Singapore, Mr SR Nathan, who also witnessed the presentation of cheques totally $6.7 million to three organisations - National University of Singapore (NUS) (see box story), Singapore University of Technology and Design and Singapore Polytechnic.

Over seven days in December last year, a team of 12 students from the Singapore Management University-Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter (SMU-HFH) worked alongside underprivileged families to build homes in the village of Nandgaon in Mumbai, India. The expedition was made possible with Keppel Land’s donation of $10,000.

Ng Yu Li, one of the participants from SMU, shared, “Keppel Land’s contribution was instrumental to the success of the project. It significantly covered most of the trip expenses, including the costly building materials as well as our airfare and accommodation costs.”

On behalf of Keppel Land, Ms Woon Pek Yong, AGM of Investor Relations & Research, received the Certificate of
